The Texans are in search of an interim head coach following the dismissing Gary Kubiak during the season. Houston reported that they had a meeting with Madden 23 coins Lovie Smith earlier in the month.

It's great the Madden NFL 23 wants to make an effort to prevent its players from using racial slurs and slurs on the field. There will be occasions when mistakes happen and players are wrongly penalized. It's difficult to discern what a player -- likely wearing a mouthpiecespeaks in a stadium filled with loud music and 50.000 fans or more isn't exactly an easy job. In the NFL, there is a procedure that is in place to eliminate those errors , if they occur, as was apparently the case in this instance. Instead of eliminating the fine and saying there was that there was no harm in it, however, the Madden NFL 23 nevertheless fined Kaepernick in a way that a lot others do without penalty, including Tom Brady. Just another instance of the Madden NFL 23 being the Madden NFL 23.

Ed Hochuli has cultivated the biggest cult of any Madden NFL 23 official in the history of the sport. His drawn-out expository, almost fatherly explanations of rulings that are overturned are legendary league over, only eclipsed by his massive biceps. He's a tough act for any player to emulate, particularly when you're his own progeny. Shawn Hochuli will try his best next season. Hochuli's son was chosen as one of the 12 initial Madden NFL 23 official officials for the 2014 season.

Shawn Hochuli worked in the The Pac-12 Conference last season, as did court Judge John Jenkins, head linesman Patrick Turner and line judge Ed Walker. The fact that a large percentage of new officials come from Pac-12 is fascinating considering the poor reputation of the conference. In 2011. the Pac-12's officiating roster was reorganized, and this past season a Pac-12 crew was responsible for the highly-publicized gaffes in non-conference matchups that were played between Wisconsin as well as Arizona State, and Utah and BYU.

To be fair, the exact same team was in charge of both games and none of those officials will be making the leap into Madden NFL 23 this year.

There's no indication yet whether Hochuli will be permitted to work games alongside his father as the side judge. Peter King raised the possibility to Madden 23 ltds cards vice president of officiating Dean Blandino two months ago however Blandino did not respond.
