JERRY JONES SAY HOCHULI IS “HIGHLY CRITICIZED”
Posted by Mike Florio on September 16, 2008, 9:36 p.m.
Although the general action in media and fan circles seems to be that referee Ed Hochuli deserves a break despite his badly blown call in Sunday’s game between the Chargers and the Broncos, our own MDS has pointed out that one of the league’s most influential owners is singing a different tune.
“That particular official gets a lot of criticism,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.
Ouch.
“He’s a highly criticized official in the NFL.”
Double ouch.
If Hochuli has that reputation in league circles, that reputation has never made its way outside of league circles. Until now.
But don’t look for Jones to be fined for his comments. As NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told us on Monday, fines are imposed only when criticizes the integrity of officiating. In this case, Jones is simply saying that Hochuli gets criticized a lot.
In other words, Jones isn’t questioning Hochuli’s integrity — he’s criticizing his ability.
