This week, Broncos coaches John Fox and Jack Del Rio were hit with a cumulative $55,000 fine for criticizing NFL replacement referees. Fortunately, the same penalty hasn't been assessed on Twitter users, since it seems as if the majority of recent tweets have been ripping on gaffes in high-profile games like Monday's Green Bay Packers debacle. Look below to see our ten favorites, from the likes of LeBron James, Chris Rock and...Peyton's Head. Number 10
These replacement refs gotta go man!! Packers just got game took from them. I LOVE NFL football to much to see this type of work.

Good idea: getting replacement refs so we can still watch football. Bad idea: hiring shoe salesmen from The Foot Locker as replacement refs.

Thank you, replacement refs, for creating a class of people more hated than journalists.

The replacement refs have told me that I am married to Megan Fox, I shook her hand once and they deemed that one hand is possession

Am I the only one who thinks these replacement refs add a little pizzazz to the games? Now if we can only get the goalposts to move around.
