Thursday night NFL Network debuted an "In Their Own Words" episode entirely about officials. If you haven't seen it, do so. If you don't have NFL Network, hopefully someone you know does. It's a good show.
You see some of the familiar ones like "over-officious jerk" and "If he's injured on every third down, you can get your M.D. tonight," but there are some clips I'd not seen before and some good interviews with former NFL officials including Jim Tunney.
There's also the all-time "He's givin' him the business down there," which I hadn't seen in full in a while, but which always cracks me up.
If you get a chance, definitely check it out.
