Is this the end for Ed Hochuli?

[Drip]

Referee Ed Hochuli was at the center of another questionable call Sunday, flagging Julius Peppers for a roughing-the-passer penalty that wiped out Carolina’s interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter against Atlanta.
After Matt Ryan’s pass was intercepted by Richard Marshall, Hochuli threw a flag and announced Peppers made a helmet-to-helmet hit on Ryan. It erased the touchdown and gave the Falcons a first down on a drive that ended with a punt.
Replays showed Peppers made contact as Ryan released the ball, and appeared to hit him first with his shoulder.
Fans booed loudly when the play was shown on the video boards at Bank of America Stadium.
Just two weeks ago, Hochuli’s missed call helped Denver’s comeback 39-38 win over San Diego.

My analysis: I have no idea what Drip's opinion is on this, AND he didn't even bother to credit AP for his blatant c&p.

In five years, this will be part of the origin story for the supervillain known simply as "The Ref".

Yes, I should have given credit to AP. 1,0000 and one pardons for such a sin. Thank you for being kind of enough to point out the error.

I think it was pretty obvious it was from the AP.

N.C...... not only does it stand for North Carolina. It also stands for No Comment. But I loved the post. SLOL

Still waiting for Drip's "analysis." What do you think, Drip? Is it the end for Ed Hochuli?

 

[dooley_womack1]

What the hell is SLOL?

There have been far too many umpires in MLB that teams have bitched about getting rid of for so damn long, that all of this with Hochuli is merely a blip on the screen.

I didn't know that Jerry Jones got bagged for $25k for blasting Hochuli. Mark Cuban thinks that's a weak ass fine.

What the hell is SLOL?

it's a backdoor way of saying lol.

 

[Smasher_Sloan]

ESPN's John Clayton reports this is not the end for Ed Hochuli.

 

[Write-brained]

I just saw Hochuli and his pythons on TV a couple of hours ago. He seemed fine to me.

 

[shockey]

no effin' way. the nfl wants their refs bending over backwards to protect QBs. hochuli's call will not be frowned upon.

 

[Write-brained]

If Jeff Triplette is still around, Hochuli is safe.

It's the good ol' boys club. He isn't going anywhere.
