Those official books were excellent. Actual referees that moved around randomly and that you could block so they didn't see illegal plays, but they would immediately send off the blocking player once they stand up. I had to check BoardGameGeek to see that the book really existed, because even though I remember it, no-one I know remembers it. It existed, and for a couple years those rules aping actual NFL football were the way everyone played.
