NFL: Week 3 - "Ed Hochuli: We Need Your Guns"

By -

I think that the controversial call at the end of Monday night's Packers @ Seahawks game tells us one thing... "we need Hochuli to arm-wrestle someone and get the regular officials back calling the NFL games."

I know that he's been hitting the gym while he's been "off-duty," so I truly feel that it shouldn't be a problem for him to take down whoever he needs to in a winner-take-all arm-wrestling match.  The only person I might be worried about is Lincoln Hawk from the 1987 film, "Over the Top."

Bearing in mind the controversial call in the Sunday-nighter between the Pats and Ravens, this "Jennings-Tate" miscall shows that the time has never been more pressing - we need Hochuli and his biceps back in their proper place - on the NFL field.

Kudos to Packers coach, Mike McCarthy for refusing to get caught up in the controversy.  McCarthy calmly stated when asked if this will motivate his team in a good way, "I don't want to get into that drama."  This is balanced out with his quarterback's statement, "It was awful," in reference to the call.  Rogers has a right to be upset, and this may result in some punishment.  

All in all, this has been one hoot of a Week 3 in the NFL.

Coupled with the NHL lockout, it seems that baseball is presently the major sport with the least amount of scandal controversy.  This is odd given the recent history with performance enhancing drugs in "America's favourite pastime."  So Refs - get something figured out quickly before this season gets out of hand!

Arozarena And His Rays

If you somehow missed out on watching Game 4 of the 2020 World Series, I must tell you that you missed an all-time classic. There were a plethora of lead changes, momentum swings, and no shortage of heroes. Even though the hometown boy Brett Phillips delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 9th, Randy Arozarena continues to be the backbone of this incredible Tampa Bay Rays baseball club. So who is this phenom of a baseball player? I need to be upfront about how I haven't followed this baseball season as closely as normal because my Boston Red Sox's management decided to punt on the season by trotting out a rotation of minor league pitchers. This means that Randy Arozarena was unfamiliar to me until this postseason. Now I can decisively state that Arozarena   is one remarkable hitter of the baseball! Arozarena began his career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2019. He only appeared in 19 games and so he's still considered a rookie in 2020. Even though the sample s

How can three brothers all have stand out careers in Major League Baseball?  This seems to be so outlandish that it could not be true.  However, Bengie (born July 20, 1974 - age 38), Jose (born June 3, 1975 - age 37), and Yadier (born July 13, 1982 - age 30) are three brothers who are living this reality.  In fact, all three brother played and two continue to play the most gruelling position on the diamond, that being catcher. Benjamin (Bengie) or "Big Money" broke into the Majors on September 21st, 1998 for the Anaheim Angels.  He had a career batting average of .274, knocked out 144 home runs to go along with 711 RBI's.  He played for the Anaheim Angels and stayed with them as they became the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, then played for the Toronto Blue Jays (2006), the San Francisco Giants (2007–2010), and finished in the heat of Arlington with the Texas Rangers (2010).  He was a two time Gold Glove Award winner (2002, 2003), as well as a two time A.L. leader i
