Your best comebacks.

[Jeremy Hohn]

..this one happened just tonight. I had a fan that was really getting ugly to me, and I asked him during a dead ball period if he subscribed to the local paper. He then said no, and I told him he'd better request a subscription, because at the rate he was going he was going to have to READ about the rest of the game, because he sure wasn't going to watch it!

I didn't hear a word from him the rest of the game..


...and this is my favorite one I used last year. My co officials and I were calling a rival game together and were clamping down on them due to the hate level present, and one of the coaches tells me. "dang it Jeremy, you gotta give us a break!:

"Coach, do you think we have missed many calls tonight?"


"Heck yes! quite a few!"

"well coach, there were your breaks!"
