Mighty, you might want to check out who is putting himself on a pedestal!
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. My opinion (and I think shared by most on this board) is that Ed Hochuli is a great official. Is it only his explanations that you don't like?
The NFL encourages thier R's to provide explanations on the rulings to help the fans (and most announcers who are clueless) understand the rules. This is in contrast to R's at the collegiate and high school levels where officials are best when invisible to the fans. The difference is that the NFL is as much entertainment as football, whereas the lower levels are very little entertainment.
Mr. Hochuli is proficient at explaining his crew's calls and does the officiating community at large a service to be viewed as professional. Sorry you don't agree.
