Shawn Hochuli worked in the the Pac-12 Conference last season, alongside field Judge John Jenkins, head linesman Patrick Turner and Madden 23 ltds quicksell coins line judge Ed Walker. The fact that the majority portion of the new officials come from Pac-12 is fascinating considering the conference's shaky reputation. In 2011 the Pac-12's officiating roster was overhauled, and this past season a Pac-12 crew was the cause of highly publicized gaffes during non-conference contests with Wisconsin and Arizona State, and Utah and BYU.

In fairness, it's true that the exact same crew worked both games, however, none of those officials will be making the move to the Madden NFL 23 this year.

It is not clear about Hochuli is allowed to participate in games alongside his father as an officiating side judge. Peter King raised the possibility to Madden NFL 23 vice president of officiating Dean Blandino two months ago However, Blandino declined to discuss it.

YAY Aaron RODGERS: Rodgers threw five touchdown passes during the Packers' win during Tuesday Night Football. It was statistically one of the greatest games in his long and storied career. He is a superb football player.

BOO ALEX SMITH Rodgers opponent was hesitant in throwing the ball down the field until very late in the game. Smith was a happy foot against the admittedly tough Packers offensive line. In short: Alex Smith was not good. Arrowhead Pride wondered why the Chiefs weren't able to play Chase Daniel in the second half. In some way, he was better than his horrendous interception, but the questions are valid. The game on Monday could have been very different if Chiefs second-half offense was present in the first.

I'm not even sure this is the correct dateline. Phoenix, Scottsdale and the other strips of strip malls and streets with six lanes are somewhere else, outside the quaint fitness trails and stucco villas that are tucked away inside the complex at The Arizona Biltmore where Madden 23 ltds quicksell the owners general managers, coaches and other football technocrats meet to attend their annual gathering and golf outing.
