NFL fans were saying the same thing about head referee Ronald Torbert during the Philadelphia Eagles-Green Bay Packers game in São Paulo, Brazil on Friday night.
Ronald Torbert and his crew were assigned to the first-ever NFL game in Brazil, featuring two NFC heavyweights. Incredibly, Mr. Torbert himself was one of the main talking points of the game—and it had nothing to do with his crew’s performance.
If an NFL official is a main talking point during or after any given game, it’s usually because they did a terrible job. But the veteran official went viral on social media thanks to the sound of his voice when he had to announce a call.
Is Torbert fighting a cold, or did he lose his voice from announcing too many penalties? You decide for yourself:
It was indeed a night filled with an alarming amount of penalty calls. The Packers committed 10 penalties for 71 yards, and the Eagles took seven penalties for 57 yards. Jalen Hurts’ group held on for a tight 34-29 to start out 1-0 for the fourth consecutive year.
The Eagles will make the trip back to Philadelphia and prepare for a Week 2 home tilt against Kirk Cousins’ Atlanta Falcons on “Monday Night Football.” The Packers, looking to avoid a disastrous 0-2 start, will host the Indianapolis Colts in their home opener next Sunday at Lambeau Field
As for Ronald Torbert, let’s hope that he will be able to take cough drops, chicken noodle soup and/or some hot tea on the flight back home.
Ronald Torbert Begins 15th Season As An NFL Official
Torbert has commenced his 15th season as an NFL official, having made it to the pros in 2010. The Michigan State and Harvard Law School graduate was the head official for Super Bowl 56, where the Los Angeles Rams outlasted the Cincinnati Bengals in a thriller at SoFi Stadium.
Social Media Is Pissed Off After Skip Bayless Claims LeBron James Shouldn’t Have Won MVP Over Stephen Curry

The 2024 Paris Olympics was Stephen Curry’s first ever appearance in the Paris Olympics. The Golden State Warriors star poured so much athleticism into his first appearance on the international stage that caught everyone’s attention, including popular NBA analyst Skip Bayless.
After Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Olympics final, LeBron James was crowned with the MVP title of the tournament. Soon after that, Bayless stirred controversy by posting on social media that LeBron should not win the MVP title. Rather, the sports analyst sees Curry as the real winner of the title.
“I’M SORRY, NOW THERE’S NO WAY LEBRON IS MVP. IT HAS TO BE STEPH. 17 THREES IN THE SEMI AND THE FINAL. WE WOULD NOT HAVE WON EITHER WITHOUT HIM,” Bayless wrote in an X post.
Curry scored 24 points in the final game against France. With his outstanding shooting skills, the Warriors star hit eight three-pointers, three of which came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. On the other hand, James contributed 14 points and 10 assists and shot an impressive 60% from the field.
