Firstly, thank you for this amazing contribution! It is a feast for a NFL stats geek like me.

By any chance, can we incorporate the match official information into the NFLDB dump? Is that part of the NFL.com JSON API?

ochawkeye commented 9 years ago

There are data sources out there that contain the information you are looking for (see #30), but the JSON data being used by nfldb is not one of them.

Compare KC@OAK JSON used by nfldb vs KC@OAK gamebook

I don't believe that @BurntSushi has ever said that he was against incorporating alternate data sources. Just need someone to actually do it :scream:.
