Thanks to Mr. Irrelevant for grabbing this hilarious clip from the NC State-Maryland game. We spent a good portion of our evening discussing all that entails 'giving him the business.' Either way, apparently it's 15 yards.

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 93 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. (source: barber.wordpress.com)

That is the kind of business I would like.

Wasn't there an old time NFL ref that made the same call? I believe there was and that's where he got that from.

Had to give a thumbs up to that much research.

Just as a side note, Ron Cherry has to be one of the WORST officials in NCAA football.  He is horrible.
