McD, two points. First, no, I don't think he would do anything purposefully to jeopardize his position. But subconciously? That I have NO problem believing for a minute. The human mind is far more powerful than you're giving it credit. If he feels wronged by Hall, that very well could manifest itself during the game, even subconciously.
The scary thing about that, btw, is that the human brain is also more than capable of creating a sort of alternate reality in which he would be CONVINCED he did nothing wrong, and would be able to pass a lie detector test to that effect. Not saying this is going to happen, but it absolutely could happen.
My second point is simply that for that reason (it COULD happen), he should be removed. Assign him to a different game. Why expose yourself to that kind of risk. As China said, it will never happen, but it should. As it is now, he will probably be on edge before and during the game, trying desperately not to make a mistake, instead of relying on his instincts and knowledge which have gotten him to this level. That's also when mistakes happen.
Goodell is a fool. This is bad for the sport, for the Redskins, for the Redskins' fans and for the ref.
