  October 20, 2003 - Sports - Wilson's long kick - [Cached Version]

  "All we know is, this was a long kick on an extra point," said Commissioner Al Ferrara of the Washington District Football Officials Association.Ferrara acknowledged being mildly amused by the controversy over the length of Rosenbaum's kick.
  
  Ferrara said he was at the game but "was holding the sticks on the sideline," rather than officiating, so he didn't pay close attention to where the ball was spotted for the kick - or why.
  
  "There were two, 15-yard penalties against Wilson and normally the ball would be snapped from the 3-yard line, so that would mean they would snap from the 33-yard line," Ferrara told The Common Denominator.He said all penalties assessed against Wilson "would have been 15-yard penalties."

  "You can get a guy and dress him up and put him out there, and he's a game official; so we play the game," Ferraro said.
  ...
  "Sometimes, it's very thankless," Ferraro said.
  ...
  When assigning officials, Ferraro does what he can to make it easier on the less experienced.
