Many NFL executives are furious with the NFL after a video surfaced of the NFL's Vice President of officiating, Dean Blandino partying with the Dallas Cowboys on their personal party bus.

According to TMZ Sports, a video they obtained contains footage of Blandino partying with Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones's son Stephen among others.
CSB Sports’ Jason La Canfora spoke to many executives around the league and they are livid at the idea of the head of officiating socializing with an owner of a team. The executives choose to remain anonymous to protect their identities after their scrutiny of the league.
"It's total hypocrisy. This is a league where some people are above the law, but if you are a coach or a player or a low-level team employee, look out — they'll throw the book at you. They take away your pension. I'll give Stephen credit, at least they took a bus. (Colts owner Jim) Irsay should have got a bus a long time ago. Have they gotten around to disciplining him yet?”
" There shouldn't be any situation like this going on that could cloud his judgment. How is this protecting the shield? The league loves to throw that term around when it applies to players. So how is this not an issue now?”
Raiders to San Antonio Legitimate
The NFL has yet to comment on the situation, but it is believed that it will be dealt with before the start of the NFL season. In a league where everyone is looking for a competitive edge, it looks like the Cowboys found a way to find a friend in a very high place.
