Hard to decide. I usually pick whichever one I just finished watching.

I think I would have agreed with you up until this past Sunday. The roughing the passer / helmet to helmet hits are totally arbitrary in their penalization. The Heath Miller concussion delivered by McClain should have warranted a flag, probably more than any other play I've seen this year. And the Suh roughing on Cutler call was totally confusing.
I hate defending NBA refs but I think I give them slightly more credit because NBA fouls are so difficult to call.

I feel like when the NFL refs miss a call they just simply missed it. I don't feel agendas. But after Donaghy, I believe the NBA refs treat the games as their own personal amusements. Unashamed start treatment and all other nonsense is obvious as well. Plenty of times they blow the whistle for a foul simply in anticipation of a foul. It makes the games hard to watch.

That's probably true, re: refs w/ vendettas. Even inexplicable ones like Crawford's (?) bizarre technicals against Tim Duncan.

Hockey refs are getting bad especially when the Red Wings are playing. In the Stanley Cup finals two years ago the calls were so bad that even the TV commentators were talking about it. Pitt had 6 players all in the Detroit zone for almost 30 seconds and not one ref called for too many men.
Can't stand to watch basketball as so many calls don't make sense; football might as well be flag football.
