One thing I noticed when watching the world cup, is all the refs wear head sets allowing them to talk to other refs w/o stopping the game or huddling up. 

I think the NFL should adopt the same practice.  Granted that won't elevate the need to stop the game clock between plays but could allow the refs to discuss what ever it is they discuss when they huddle without taking the time to get out of position, meet, and get back in position.

Agree, disagree?  comments.

Seems like a common sense idea to me. It does raise a question though. Who in the hell is the NFL's technology vendor? How many times have you seen a ref announcing a penalty only to have the microphone no working?
