"aha, that may be the most hilarious post I've seen in a while"

Why? Priv has 6TD's and 1 INT for the season. All I said is that the 1 INT is BS, meaning he should have 6TD's and 0 INT's instead.

NFL to give Hochuli lower grades after call in Chargers-Broncos game:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3589407

also, apparently replay wouldn't have helped with that first quarter 'interception':

yesterday was a tough day to be a chargers fan

9/15/2008 6:20:45 PM

The chargers suck. Nice way to blame the refs for your loss.

It's the broncos guys. The broncos for gods sake.

I still think Mike Carey (skinny black guy - I think that is his name) is the best NFL referee.

oh you mean like how 100% of the sports broadcasting world is blaming this loss on the refs and how this game was taken from them?

9/16/2008 3:58:52 PM

bet he can woop your ass

that picture is totally [evan]

well at least he feels bad about it. i think he knows how well known he is and feels like he let not only football fans down, but his own fans as well.

9/18/2008 6:05:32 PM

yeah

he'll be remembered as the goat of that game

and not cromartie, who looked like me playing CB

9/18/2008 6:35:32 PM

i was just listening to Doug Gottlieb on sports radio

apparently (and not surprisingly) Hochuli has been getting a ton of hate mail in his personal email account about the bad call

the surprising thing is he's literally responding to the emails and saying he failed miserably and he screwed up

thats a +1 for him in my book

he's getting too much shit for a bad ball imo (if i was a chargers fan i'd probably be mad, but still)

HAHAHAHAHA

Mike Carey sucks. He was rated as one of the worst refs last season by NFL coaches. He was the ref in the Carolina-Dallas game last season that was a total hack job.

9/18/2008 10:20:30 PM

I for one think Hochuli is still a good ref and I feel for the guy.

9/18/2008 10:23:26 PM

his main problem isnt missing that call, its wearing shirts 2 sizes too small

9/18/2008 10:24:15 PM

9/18/2008 10:50:06 PM

yeah mike carey is one of two refs (besides ed) that i'd want reffing a game. not sure where you heard all that smack about him

plus i think he was the ref in that spitting incident with sean taylor, and he handled that like i would

Wilbon hits the nail on the head, in my opinion:

LOL

Ed's son Shawn just blew a call in the UConn-Baylor game. Ruled the Baylor QB sacked at the 1 inch line instead of safety.

9/19/2008 10:51:12 PM

he evened it out with that BS kick catching interference

9/19/2008 10:53:58 PM

And again on that personal foul after the touchdown. Horrible officiating.

9/19/2008 10:57:49 PM

The worst call was 0.3 second late hit... and that cost them 7...

9/19/2008 11:01:26 PM

not the man... again

way to take away a clean pick 6

9/28/2008 1:07:19 PM

bump for Panthers game

9/28/2008 1:07:41 PM

man he's not doing himself any favors

9/28/2008 1:10:17 PM

there's already an AP story on cnnsi.com about it

9/28/2008 3:19:31 PM

I didn't think it was a great call, but I can see where someone could make it. The call against san diego was just a screw-up for the ages. Not sure that call deserves a lead story on yahoo

Ahaha Ed and his homies missed another one.

10/6/2008 9:39:22 PM

Missed a face mask call

[Edited on October 6, 2008 at 9:39 PM. Reason : ^ lol GG]

10/6/2008 9:39:33 PM

they're piling up on this crew, facemask not really on him though

oh yea go vikes this week

thats a slick football

10/6/2008 9:45:53 PM

Yeah that is obviously a fumble and recovery... I hate how they blow that shit dead all the time... let the play run on and review it for god's sake.

10/6/2008 10:14:44 PM

wtf Ed?!!?!

10/6/2008 10:15:00 PM

i predict sean payton gets a fine from the nfl this week

10/6/2008 10:16:22 PM

good call

10/6/2008 10:16:24 PM

good lord i don't think I've ever heard a false start penalty explained that much.

10/6/2008 11:03:16 PM

Ed Hochuli

Changing the outcomes of games since Week 2

10/7/2008 12:06:07 AM

Gerry Austin is my favorite official.

This is seriously like his 30th year in the NFL.

10/7/2008 12:17:34 AM

he's from greensboro too

10/7/2008 12:24:21 AM

haha

Hochuli is officiating the Lions/Packers games

i guess they figured it was the safest game to put him in

12/28/2008 3:42:55 PM

they shouldve plugged him into tonight's game
