NEW YORK?
NFL Referee Tony Corrente has been fined one game check for uttering obscenities with his microphone on during the Nov. 4 game in Indianapolis between the Colts and Miami Dolphins.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Corrente inadvertently left his microphone open during a conference with members of the officiating crew.
Indy's defense had just been called for having 12 men on the field, and it appeared the question was about where to spot the ball.
As a second official called over to the referee, Corrente shouted "What in the f--- are you guys doing?"
That part was heard by the crowd of 66,479, but did not make it on the air.
The rest of the discussion did, including Corrente explaining the spot was correct by shouting "That was ? god---- it."
The fine was issued Friday by NFL officiating director Carl Johnson, who said the conduct ?is inappropriate for a game official.?
A referee of Corrente's experience earns approximately $9,000 a game.
Corrente has apologized to the Colts organization.
