HE said he was sorry

Here’s a clipping of the sports article I told you about the incident that happened in NFL last weekend.

No one was more upset about the call than me, I promise you. I was driving to a friend’s house after the game, and had to stop at a local convenience store so I could throw a child-like fit and kick inanimate objects. I said things about Ed Hochuli in the hours after the loss that could’ve gotten me arrested. Eventually, my grief took the form of a letter from Ed’s dog.

But knowing now that Hochuli feels so bad about it, it sort of takes some of the venom out of me. It’s hard to hate a guy who knows he screwed up and feels bad about it.

It’s just so hard to understand why he blew that whistle. A ball went flying backwards out of the quarterback’s hand. In what way would that lead anyone to believe that a play should be blown dead? Why would it even occur to him to blow the whistle?
