Got any good quotes?

From Friday night. Coach addressing an official: "Why do we have our long gains always called back?" Official: "Because your kids are always holding."

I should have said, "You've had some short gains called back, too."

During our pre-game Friday, one coach advised us of this one: Defensive player lined up over that ball, Coach is asking the LJ if it is offsides. LJ's response: "Not now that you are telling me it is." This repeated for two plays. Coach stopped asking for the offsides on the third play and the LJ called the penalty.

Found a kid in a high school game here in WI on Friday night with a tinted visor/shield on his helmet.

Got the response you've all come to enjoy over the years...

"He's got a medical release for it..."

Then got everyone's favorite after we told them no such thing exists.

"Well.....they didn't say anything last week...."

Same team also tried pushing the "kicking ball" on us...specifically for FG's and EP's.

Classic.

I was working the box with a complete rookie on his first ever game in stripes (has college and a brief NFL playing career) working as HL in a Freshman game. After a couple of normal rookie mistakes, the coach has been getting furious and finally shouts "you're the worst official in the world!" Our rookie pauses for a moment, turns and looks right at him and says, "Yes coach, I am, and I'm the best one on your sideline."

Honestly, if you've not ever been 'the worst official in the history of football', you haven't done enough games yet.

I got my W.O.W. award for football during my second season around the time of Ed Hochuli's infamous IW against the Chargers. It was coincidentally the next weekend that I had my second and last IW. Near the end of the game, the coach had calmed down and politely asked me what my name is, I responded "Ed Hochuli". He was halfway through asking me how I spell that when he got the joke.

I never have been. But I have made "the worst ever!" a bunch of times!!
