NFL fans have spent much of the night criticizing and mocking NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who is responsible for bringing in replacement referees. Alas, some Twitter users are taking it too far:

Is it too much for me to call for Goodell's head on a spike? I mean literally I want to see it. Assassinate him.

In all honesty, why don't we take goodell, bettman, selig, and stern, put them through some type of tucked up and insane torture
— Knud G. Ferdinand (@kgferdy25) September 25, 2012
Somebody need to shoot goodell, these replacement refs, and get the real refs back on the field.
— Shane Falco (@WilbertDyn0mite) September 23, 2012
The Mob is well aware that Goodell is getting death threats. Some, following the lead of Wisconsin State Senator Jon Erpenbach are posting his phone number:
EVERYBODY CALL 212-450-2027 APPARENTLY IT'S Roger Goodell's NUMBER HE ABOUT TO GET MAD DEATH THREATS LOL
— Marcos Garcia (@GotDeportedYolo) September 25, 2012

Naturally, that prompted more death wishes for Goodell:
