Having been a ref in two sports (HS football and hockey), I've been in the position of putting my money where my mouth is. I'd bet many of you fools calling for Ed's head couldn't ref your way out of a paper bag. Even at my lowly local level of amateur sports, we spend hours and hours of training and learning the rules. I dare you to get a football rule book and try to learn them all. I learned enough to pass the annual test, but I still feel like I know little compared to what is out there. I guess it boils down to this: put your money where your mouth is. Learn how to ref (even on the local level) and get out there and do it. I'll bet you'd do a little worse than many of the veteran zebras (as bad as you think they are). Let's see who's calling for suspensions and other sanctions then. I'm out.

This is the first time or even the 20th time he's been involved in game changing controversial calls. I decided long ago to stop watching games he's officiating be cause to me it was blatantly obvious Hochuli is on the take. The Integrity of the NFL has been taken down another notch. Im an AFC fan so to me either team wining was fine , but I despise it when Hochuli tampers with the outcome of the games. He's done it before and he'll continue to do it until someone investigates him and decides to put him on the curb. Congress doesnt mind investigating baseball. I cant think of whats worse the players juicing or a Ref thats on the take. The ladder is despicable and is happening right in front of everyone. If I were a coach I would refuse to play a game that he's officiating. Imagine if al coaches decided to stick to that action. The NFL really needs to let Hochuli go.
