It takes a lot for a referee’s name to trend on Twitter when no games are in progress. Sure, it’s not uncommon in the NFL for a ref to anger a nation, causing the whole trending phenomenon. But it’s a Wednesday night, with nothing but baseball going on.
America is ready for Ed Hochuli
When a deal between the NFL and NFLRA was reportedly struck to end the lockout, one man stood above the rest, flexing and welcoming you back to The Gun Show.
