Of all the major pro sports, the NFL translates the best to television.

And now with the advent of numerous camera setups, technology has taken over the game.

There is such an obsession to get every call right that every frame is combed to a fault. It has happened so much that the line between clarity and confusion has become nearly translucent.

The premise of instant replay is good. Heck, if it wasn’t for the famed “Instant Replay Game” on Nov. 5, 1989, the Packers don’t beat the Bears 14-13 forcing Chicago coach Mike Ditka to look down in shame with his ugly flat cap.

But there is a line. I have heard plenty of people say that the strike zone in baseball should be decided by robots. I couldn’t disagree more. Human umpires are a fabric of the game. Is it perfect? No. But that is a part of the game.

What needs to happen, is people need to accept that sports aren’t going to be perfect. Just because we don’t see every blade of grass on a sideline toe-tap catch by Antonio Brown doesn’t mean he didn’t catch it. Or just because the ball might have changed its location after two frames of video, doesn’t mean that Rob Gronkowski didn’t catch it.

I like the fact that instant replay is in the NFL’s back pocket. The biggest fear for the NFL brass is that the Super Bowl gets decided by a call that could’ve been corrected. And now I think the biggest fear among fans are multiple calls that may or may not be right that bog the game down tremendously.

It’s time to pare instant replay back. First of all, eliminate the replay for every scoring play, because that is just a waste of time. Secondly, only let coaches throw the red flag once during a game. And even if you get your challenge right, you don’t get any more challenges.

From 1986-1991, only had 12.6 percent of calls were reversed. However, from 1999-2016, 37 percent were reversed. That tells me that modern refs have become lazy. They are relying on instant replay as another official, and that shouldn’t be the case. Watch an NFL game today and you’ll see many referees out of place, mainly because they know they will be bailed out by technology.

This isn’t an instant replay issue at all. It’s a referee issue. Just because the game has been digitized down to each frame doesn’t mean the refs can’t make a difference.

The referees keep the game flowing and make it watchable. If there are too many penalties, the flow is awful and it becomes unwatchable. Spend too much time waiting for an instant replay answer, the flow is lost and fans start to grumble.

As a society we have become too reliant on technology. I can’t remember the last time I’ve walked down the street and didn’t see someone poking around on their phone.

It’s time for the NFL to get out from the technology albatross. Have the guts to actually make a call on your own. It’s time for the NFL referee to take the game back.
