CBS hired former NFL referee Mike Carey in 2014 to be part of their broadcast team, and have him talk viewers through officiating issues while the actual refs did the same on the field, or during coach’s challenges. His work in the booth, however, has cast a pall on his work on the field in the years prior.

Carey, who was once considered a good referee, has been routinely roasted online for incorrectly predicting how game officials will decide on questionable plays. He’s been wrong often enough that some Las Vegas sports books were offering odds on whether or not he’d be wrong on a coaching challenge – and he didn’t last through the first quarter.

NFL fans seemed divided based on the poll in the above tweet, but Carey said he expected the referees to reverse their ruling of an incomplete pass. Unfortunately for him, he was wrong, and he heard all about it on Twitter.

It’s not just a Super Bowl overreaction either, because the same thing happened in the AFC Championship when he incorrectly predicted that officials would stand with their initial call of an incomplete pass.

And here’s the reaction from a regular season tilt between the Seahawks and Steelers.

It's a tough racket for Carey to be in, because many of the calls he's been "wrong" on, are either vague or inconclusive. For Carey to correctly predict many of these decision, he'd have to travel inside the officials' heads, which is impossible. It sure did seem like Cotchery caught that pass Sunday night.
