| Quote: | NFL Referee Ed Hochuli.
By Amanda Cherrin
Ed Hochuli is one of the most respected officials in the NFL, and not just because he has been in the league for 16 years and worked 15 playoff games and two Super Bowls. "You look at him and it looks like he needs to be on our side of the ball, or on defense," says Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. "He stands on the sidelines looking like one of the linebackers." The 6'1", 215-pound Hochuli was a linebacker, at UTEP from 1969 to '72, before beginning a career in law. (The married father of six is a partner in a Phoenix firm that specializes in civil litigation.) "I never had a great deal of athletic talent, but I worked hard at it," says Hochuli. "The NFL was not an option. I'm small and I'm slow." He is also very fit. Hochuli, who officiated college games for years before joining the NFL, has run 12 marathons. Though he's given up long-distance running because he found it too time consuming, he still does an hour of cardiovascular training (usually on a stair machine or treadmill) each day. Four days a week he lifts weights as well. "It's something I need to do as a release," Hochuli says. "Something that gets me through the day." Here's his routine.

Nope, if he does, he can out-run them OR sue them. 
The full article is in last week's SI. I found it on some weight-lifter's site. They were ragging on him because he wasn't that buff and that he had an old-school routine. PUHLEEEZE. The guy does an hour of cardio every night on top of his lifting routine.
And he has 6 kids.
And he's a partner in a law firm.

chuck norris' disguise could do that. that's the brilliance of the chuck norris disguise.
except the only person that could destroy chuck norris IS chuck norris, therefore we'd know it was chuck norris... but it wouldn't matter because chuck norris doesn't NEED a disguise.

I've heard announcers refer to him as, Mr. Muscles.
He's a pretty good official too.

I think he's already been picked up for the Super Bowl.
It'll be his third.
