GIVIN' HIM THE BUSINESS

The original “Givin’ Him The Business” was spewed by legendary NFL referee Ben Dreith in the 80’s.

It pains me greatly to say this….

MAO!

That is all. I’ll be over here crying in the corner.

It’s too bad the flag was on the home team — a call like that would have been met with much adulation if it were. Instead, it was OMG WE LOSE 15 YARDS BAD CALL REF

Man, this season has been like running through all the Shakespeare tragedies in succession; you’re going to need a bull-dozer to clear the bodies off the stage.

Great clip, second only to the ref’s explanation from a mid-late 90s Grambling-Southern game.

15 yd flag for ‘knockin the quarterback upside the head.’

Here’s the original call from the NFL it you’re interested

I like the conviction in his voice. He makes it sound ‘justified’ in a stern, diligent manner.

Ron Cherry is now my favorite ref of all time.

Over/under on the money Ron Cherry made for saying that in front of 70,000 people and a regional audience: $200

It was called on the State lineman, and I can assure they didn’t have 70K people in the stands in Raleigh, yesterday.

Ron Cherry, most ACC fans will agree, and his crew are the worst refs in the conference, and shocking that I would say this like every other fan from every other conference would say, and possibly the country.

The first time I heard this phrase, it was from this real cocky west indies guy I used to work with. He’d tell me about all the girlies sweatin’ his jock. One of them was whining about something and he said, in his St. Thomas island accent, “Shut uuuuup, and give me dee biznizz . . .”

Ron Cherry and Mike Carey = God’s gifts to the college and NFL officiating ranks

from now on, I can see each occuring personal foul being referred to as such…and that’s worth 100 johnnie walker blue’s on the rocks

Someone give that guy a raise. He obviously has a little captain in him.

I guess Tebow is Superman!

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has a broken right hand and will be in a cast for at least two weeks.

The Heisman Trophy hopeful sustained a non-displaced fracture in his non-throwing hand during his 5-yard touchdown run on the opening drive of the third quarter against Florida State, team spokesman Steve McClain said Sunday.

Team doctors looked at his hand and did some tests on the sideline, but Tebow said he was OK to play and stayed in the game.

X-rays following Florida’s 45-12 victory revealed the severity of injury.

The Gators (9-3) probably will play in either the Capital One Bowl in Orlando or the Outback Bowl in Tampa on New Year’s Day, and they expect Tebow to be back in time to play.

Cherry is reviled throughout the ACC, and I have to hope this was his little treat to himself in his last game. He is clearly trying to attract attention to himself by ripping off an NFL films tidbit. It would be one thing if it were his natural personality coming through, but this seems like a premeditated bid to get attention, and whenever officials try to make themselves part of the story, bad things happen. Very unprofessional — if I were the commish, I’d suspend him.

It’s 37-0 with nine minutes left and there are fans still there who have enough gas in the tank to boo the officiating crew? Are you kidding me?

Fesser- are you anti-Black?

damn NC State sucks. Betcha O’Brien wishes he would have stayed in Boston another year or two.

one observation…the announcers completely fucked that entire sequence up something fierce.

they said “holding” initially, then “block in the back.” Apparently they didn’t see the NCSt. lineman “givin’ him the business.” Retards.

Is the same guy who called an unsportsmanlike conduct on Virginia Tech last week and “explained” the call by moving his fingers and thumb together up and down to indicate that the VT DB had been mouthing off to the ref?

That was drop-dead funny.

Best Ron Cherry blurb was earlier this year in an FSU game.

He threw a flag, then waved it off, saying, “There is no flag for 12 men on the field. There were only 10.”

Alas, I can’t find it on Youtube…

I’d like to say that one time in the mid-90s I was watching the Bayou Classic on NBC…and the referee announced a personanl foul with the description of “smacked ’im upside tha head”. I was in awe.

God I can’t stop laughing…

spartymike,
I remember that too! Is there any video footage of that to be found anywhere?
The announcers were stunned too.
