Refs are fans of the NFL as well, but it’s best if they keep that fandom internalized because this below video just looks bad.
Following the Tampa Bay Bucs loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, a video showed a ref stopping WR Mike Evans in the tunnel to get an autograph from the Tampa star.
If the Bucs had won this game, this would be a much bigger story. He is sure to hear from the league office to not ever do this again.

Evans secured nine of 15 targets for 96 yards in the Buccaneers’ 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
However, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers on the third play from scrimmage because of him.
Bucs quarterback Tom Brady launched a perfect deep ball to a wide-open Evans, who was streaking across the field all by himself, but he dropped the ball. It turned a would-be 64-yard touchdown into a soul-crushing incomplete pass.
Tampa Bay didn’t score a touchdown the entire game Sunday.
