I don't mean to start a controversy, but in the face of the Mitchell report doesn't it seem strange that no one has yet addressed potential steroid abuse among NFL referees. I mean we've had at least one living example for many years, arguably the most popular ref in the NFL, Ed Hochuli.

Ya can't tell me he's all natural. The man is 57 years old, a trial attorney and has six kids! Where did he find the strength for that? And now we also have a 61 year old referee, Jim Quirk, putting Green Bay linebacker, Nick Barnett, in a rear naked choke that Chuck Liddell would envy. Even more stunning is the fact that the player threatened to file a grievance because he was subdued by a man twice his age!

I just wanted to assure everyone that I am absolutely serious about my concern for this issue and this is not some feeble attempt at comic relief for us before a monumental game against our archrival. Honest.
