The NFL has reportedly pulled an official from working Sunday's game between the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.
According to both ESPN and the NFL Network, Brian Stropolo was taken off his scheduled duties as a side judge because photos on his Facebook page prominently showed him wearing Saints apparel.
Stropolo worked the season-opening game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys in New Jersey.
