Wikipedia says:

Dreith is also known among football fans for his unique explanation of a personal foul penalty during a 1986 game between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. After the Jets' Marty Lyons (misidentified as Mark Gastineau during Dreith's call) tackled Bills quarterback Jim Kelly to the ground and started to repeatedly punch him in the head, Dreith announced to the crowd: "There's a personal foul, on number 99 (Lyons actually wore 93) of the defense — after he tackled the quarterback, he's givin' him the business down there, that's a 15-yard penalty." [3] Dreith's call also involved an improvised hand signal of a repeated punching action.

What would a person need to sacrifice for the gods to change out this guy with Cheffers. My guess would be if we sacrifice Carl fucking Cheffers to the Gods he will no longer have the power to screw KC over again. Who’s going with me???

EVERY OTHER REF ON EARTH SHOULD FOLLOW HIS LEAD!!!!!
