I LOVE NFL DOUCHEBAGS ROSTER: PART I, ED HOCHULI

Was Norv supposed to say "hey no worries". It's not like he has a reputation as a firey guy. I think he would have been crucified if he didn't say something.

Also, AFC championship game last year. Just sayin'.

I thought it was peyton who had a sac removed, and the chargers d was just missing two or three ligaments

i noticed that in another big game that ldt was nowhere to be found. seems like he has some a-rod in him. so to speak.

ade still OTM

Norv has every reason to be pissed, but that's why they call 'em "road games"

you guys are absolutely retarded if you read my comment as "norv turner had no right to be irritated over this call" and not "i don't give a shit about this call considering the fact that hochuli makes horrible calls every second he is on a football field, and i don't see why you should, either"

hi tombot are you rooting for the jaguars or what?

I LOVE NFL DOUCHEBAGS ROSTER: PART II, DEION SANDERS

^^^shall i start this thread?

except i mean it. i love him.

I have yet to venture out to a joint what has sunday ticket, for fear of ultra-liver-damage GET, so really no I haven't been exactly rooting for the jags. perhaps if I can watch them play, ever, they will win?

i have to go to the bar to watch the Bills play, and I find that if i start with a bloody mary i end up drinking less! except this season the Bills are all winning and stuff so there are rounds of shots like every quarter. looks like that is not a problem for Jacksonville fans thus far, tho lol.

Jacksonville fans break out their Foot Locker credit cards at halftime.

horseshoe, do you still go to delilah's to watch the game?

yeah! <3 that place.

I thought I was agreeing with that, except for hochuli's really not that bad. As a victim of some spectacularly bad calls (Andre Reed vs. Mike Carey 9/2/98 NEVAR FORGET), I'm not sure why Jints fans feel entitled to specific hochuljihad.

In fact, Broncos fans are at least as entitled, which may be why this is the first Broncos game he's officiated in SEVEN YEARS!

(btw that's 1/2/98 obv but it seemed a little weak without the 9)

....

ok seriously dude what is wrong with you that you think that giants fans feel "entitled" to specifically hate this dude, i was under the impression everyone except for bob costas and a mr. "adrian langston" hated this dude.

fwiw i don't even remember the giants play being referred to in the top portion of this thread -- i've basically always thought this dude was a whorebaby.

There's low, and then there's that shit. Note that Pennsylvania is a critical swing state.

[quote]I was about to say ARE YOU GUYS HIGH but then i remembered "giants fans lmbo"

he's the best ref in the league, seriously. he explains shit as well as anyone, he does a good job, and he's like the only ref who DOESN'T come off as a huge dbag. anyway this is the worst football i've seen all year (both teams), and i watched an oakland game too.

nfl all-dbag team captains: fucken fagets on the giants who keep doing that "ballin" shit

lol ok i was clearly the one who was high

wtf happened to the quote tags

hochuli to be graded down

[quote]also, as another general commentary, i cannot bring myself to care at all about this, given the amount of horrible calls that happen every fucking sunday that no one cares about. no accountability! omg but norv turner is angwy so now we should give a shit? ;_;

whatever! i mean jesus you guys were the ones that gave up 500 points prior to that play, get over yourselves.

this is also otm though i dont understand why anyone ever cares about blown calls, i mean i guess it sucks if it happens to ur team but still *shrug* ¯\(°_o)/¯

yeah, totally. football outsiders are always bitching about blown calls in their audibles. it's annoying.

blown calls are about 87% of the game is the thing. it's fun to be angry about them when they happen but if yr the type of dude who holds a long-time grudge over ONE CALL (coughcoughseattlefanscough) i mean...don't you have some laundry to do or something? i care when it happens and then immediately forget, unless they're particularly L.O.L.

i can see why coaches bitch about them, i mean their livelihood is riding on the outcome of the games but any fan who has seen more than four games should realize there are at least three blown calls a game, right? who the fuck can bitch about it if you aren't drawing a salary from the nfl in some way?

situations like sea-pit are the only time i will make a special dispensation, just because there's no way you can 'even out' calls blowing a superbowl. but i mean they still lost fair and square tho so w/e!!!

I liked the thing with Cutler after the game. He was like 'I haven't seen it but oh yeah, it was a fumble' very nonchalant.

that is the thing, it is pretty rare that a call is so heinous that it actually costs a team a game, and you can make the argument that even in those situations, no team worth its gatorade should be in a situation where one single bad call would cost them a victory (ie the whole "if the bills were so great, then they shouldn't have been kicking that field goal anyway" argument that my dad loves to use whenever i say "the bills should've won that game").

no team worth its gatorade should be in a situation where one single bad call would cost them a victory

Someone put this on a wood-carved sign for the clubhouse bathroom (to hang next to the Harley calendar).

Even if SD got fucked by Hercules (who I thought was A-OK as a ref, tho I never really noticed anything besides his guns) and malfunctioning replay equipment, they should've, at the very least, been able to stop a 2-point conversion attempt that, from what I could tell, looked EXACTLY LIKE the play that scored the TD. (I think I repeated what's already been said, but fuck it.)

Can't wait for the totally justified Cutler hype to reach Farve levels of fun.

OTM. I can't believe that Hochuli getting "graded down" has been a front page ESPN story for two days now. He's a good ref. It was a bad call. I saw 2 or 3 other calls in Week 2 that were just as bad (though not in similarly game-breaking situations).

i openly lol'd when i saw the "graded down" announcement during last night's arena football game. it's like oooh demerits, does he go to detention too?

They should make him officiate the Area bowl next year ("The Wild Thunder have chosen to accept the opening kickoff").

Arena

oh, good; i was worried the Steelers-Browns game killed you, brownie!

I lost power at 6:30pm on sunday and probably won't have it back for the rest of the week.

oh no! because of the storm? that sucks!

yeah, you should've seen me scrambling like Stabler to watch the game.

6:30pm on sunday

personal 9/11 btw

it is hard to be a Browns fan.

did you guys listen to kornheiser last night? so annoying

there was a comment or two about him in the week two thread. the general feeling leaned towards the negative.

He's brutal, especially contrasted with Jaws who's totally reasonable about everything. With like 5 minutes left in the game Kornheiser was all like "a team that wants to be a Super Bowl contender MUST WIN this game" and Jaws was like "No. It's week 2."

kornheiser made some vaguely racist comment after the telemundo switcheroo for a minute (??? seriously why were they doing this, why were they mindlessly jabbering VAQUEROS CONTRA AGUILAS VAQUEROS VAQUEROS COMO SE DICE VAQUEROS over and over again, please don't drag my people into your hellish broadcast ever again, espn) and i was just like oh my god no he did not just say that sounded like him asking for his laundry to be picked up, wtf?

i wish jaws would murder him.

I missed that and then heard him apologizing in a really pronounced way and the other guys trying to get on with the game. I have no idea how he can be so sharp on PTI and such a fucking deadweight idiot in the booth.

wow i totally missed kornheiser hates mexicans moment.

I wish I could turn Kornheiser off in the manner I can turn Collinsworth off in Madden. I still want my precious crowd noise.

"a team that wants to be a Super Bowl contender MUST WIN this game"

see yeah that's what got me paying attention to how annoying he is. WTF, second game of the season a must-win? dallas 1st playoff game is a must-win

wow. tony korneiser=lucille bluth.

but not at all awesome.

I can see SD fans being mad about the call, but they still gave up the TD on FOURTH down and then gave up a TWO POINT CONVERSION. Sometimes you got to nut up and just deal, criminy its week two not the AFC title game. You get the Broncos back at home in a few weeks.

cu ed

man this thread is an artefact of another time

Man, what the fuck happened to I Love NFL? This place used to be fun.

i’d say the answer is lack of love for the nfl.

otm

i didn't watch a single game last season or the season before.

i still mod this place, but just for comedic purposes.

NFL’s more popular than ever wtf you drips.

i meant among the ilx posting community bro

cad is bored of winning and i guess snrub never gets tired of losing

and I live in Los Angeles

i stopped watching football

winning rules; if i didn't follow a winning team i'd have been out ages ago. football is a fantastic game that is totally unsafe to play, and the nfl is a shitty institution. i don't love the fact that i still pay attention to it.

ed hochuli was in my dream last night

he was reffing a college game because he missed the action

no idea why i would dream this; i watch even less college football than i do nfl
