We're surprised this doesn't happen more often, and maybe it does—but hearing popular NFL referee Ed Hochuli do it has a special flair.

Jay Cutler was concussed two weeks ago and was just named the starter for the Bears today. Rather than a ...
Man City Star Kolo Toure Carried On Affair For Two Years, Pretended He Was A Car Salesman Named Francois
This is just amazing. Stuck in our American-centric sports sphere, we often forget the mega-popularity of soccer and by extension the fame of those who play the game. Kolo Toure earns £90,000 a week.

Did Penn State Coach Bill O'Brien Call His Team "A Bunch Of Fuckers" In His Post-Game Interview?
Penn State closed out a difficult season with a memorable overtime win against Wisconsin, and a choked-up Bill O'Brien spoke fondly of his team in the post-game interview on ESPN2.
