Meeting Speaker for Tuesday, December 16, 2014

YOU MAKE THE CALL….my life in the NFL with Mike Pereira

Mike Pereira is the Rules Analyst for “NFL on Fox.”  He has been in that role since 2010 and is on hand throughout the broadcast day to provide insight into the officiating situation and process.  If you watch “NFL on Fox” you have seen Mike during many of those time outs when an instant replay is being analyzed and at other times when the rules are under review.  

Mike’s officiating career began in 1982 when he was an NCAA Division I official.  He spent fourteen years in the Big west Conference and the Western Athletic Conference before moving to the NFL in 1996.  There he rose through the ranks from Sideline Judge to Vice President of NFL Officiating. 

Mike plays golf at Del Paso Country Club and fly fishes the world.  He is an admitted rules junkie and studies the rules of many sports other than football.  Bring your questions and maybe you can “stump the Ump."

Mike is a native of Stockton and graduated from Santa Clara University.  He and his wife Gail live in Sacramento.
