I'm sure there are many. Most aren't board appropriate.

watch the left side of the screen and you'll see the OL guy "give him the business" pretty good :eek:

Back in the 80's there was an NFL official who made the same call. I think it may have been during a Jets/Dolphins game.:thinking:

I remember that. He actually got demoted to FJ or something & then later back to Ref. Can't think of his name.

found this about the NFL game...


Definition giving someone “the business”:
Ah yes, an easy one! “Giving him the business” is an expression I snatched out of pro football history. Back in 1986 during a game between the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills someone committed a rare kind of violent foul. The interesting twist here was that in a sport heralded for it’s harsh physicality, this play involved Buffalo’s quarterback! Of the dozens of different positions one can play in this game only three are granted any kind of significant protection by the rules of the game and quarterback is one of them.

It would have been the sweetest of irony if the quarterback, Jim Kelly, had been the one commiting the foul but poor Jim was on the receiving end. After being sacked (tackled to the ground),Marty Lyons, the Jets player, began repeatedly punching Jim in the head! Although it’s clearly against the rules there is no specific entry in the rulebook against “kicking that guy’s ass”, so the presiding referee expressed himself in the best way he knew how. He clicked on his mic and told the crowd this:

“Number 33 of the defense, after tackling the quarterback, was giving him the business down there!”

Hilarious. The line immediately became part of National Football League history.
