There's not a single person that I'm aware of that would consider Tony Corrente a 'top official'. There's a huge difference between 'around the longest' and 'good'. In fact, only the fact that Jeff Triplette was a ref at the same time kept Corrente from being the league's WORST official. Now that Triplette retired, Corrente is head and shoulders above the rest as the worst. The Angel Hernandez of the NFL.
