HAHA!!! LOL!!!! they should make a special personal foul ref signal just for that! hilarious! thanks for posting aubie!
My friend relayed a story to me about the Bayou Classic several years ago...there is a personal foul called, and when the ref described the penalty to the crowd he said "personal foul, ### - going upside the head". lol...I'm not sure if I got the quote exactly right, but I'm sure some of you were there and heard it.
:rofl: Just about fell off the couch.:rofl: It was an NFL ref who used that line originally, a long time ago. Can't remember the game but I've seen it in NFL Films specials before.
Found it, from Wikipedia Ben Dreith Dreith is also known among football fans for his unique explanation of a personal foul penalty during a 1986 game between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. After the Jets' Marty Lyons (misidentified as Mark Gastineau during Dreith's call) tackled Bills quarterback Jim Kelly to the ground and started to repeatedly punch him in the head, Dreith announced to the crowd: We have a personal foul, on number 99 of the defense, after he tackled the quarterback, he's giving him the business down there, that's a 15-yard penalty Also found the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zkom-6wMnw
That's awesome. "Giving him the business" is normally a GOOD thing. :hihi: On the related links for that video, there was a tutorial on how to deal with streakers. No security involved...just a lonely, humiliating walk off the field. Of course, I'm horrified that the title references an "NFL pitch" which implies that football is played on the same field as that horrible, horrible, barely sport of soccer.

<--- Remeber's Ben Drieth's call. <--- Can't get these videos here at work. I do have an idea though. With all the refs deciding game results, why not give the coaches a few extra red flags to challenge the refs calls. Maybe not to challenge no calls but to challenge stupid holding calls and the like. I'd like to see the refs under even closer scrutiny. Only call things they actually see. :dis:
