    Article on Andre Proulx

    We don't often get to hear from the officials but I enjoyed Proulx's comments in this article: http://www.torontosun.com/2014/11/28...cult-following

    IMO, Proulx and Kim Murphy are the best head referees - and, not surprisingly, they are the head referee and the substitute referee respectively for this year's Grey Cup - followed by Tom Vallesi, Al Bradbury and Dave Foxcroft. BTW, whatever happened to Murray Clarke? I don't believe that he refereed a game this year although he is still listed as a head referee on the the CFL officials' site: http://cflofficials.ca/officials.asp
    Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    I think I've seen Clarke in other positions on the field this season. Don't know if that means he was demoted from referee or chose to move to one of the other spots. I basically agree with your ratings of the refs, Ravi.

    I agree with your ratings for the most part, too. Only I would put Bradbury ahead of Vallesi. Vallesi and Foxcroft to me are total embarrassments to the league. As head referees, it so sad the way they both often get confused when explaining their penalty calls on the field.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Andre did all right I guess, just should have dropped his flag for the TV audience and crowd stating "dere was no infraction on the play". If he had done that about three more times it would have been a perfectly called game. lol
