Ben Drieth was a jr. high phys ed teacher. Supposedly, "give(ing) ____ the business" (me, him, etc.) was a trademark expression of his. He was also a bit of a maverick and on this one play, he was probably a bit charged up and this just came out.
According to Markbriet (sp??) in his book, Drieth wasn't criticized by the league because it was an accurate description. I just think they didn't want their R's to clown around while the mic was on, but I don't think they had to worry about that with Ben.
