I guess football referees at any level this year have had enough of players running them over. Sunday in the 49ers/Rams game, ref Garth DiFelice decided to deliver a right cross to the jaw of Kenneth Darby when Darby dared to try and knock him down.

That's a better punch than any that was landed in the Holyfield/Valuev fight on Saturday night. Here's video evidence of Darby getting dropped as well.

That, um, interesting move by DeFelice obviously brings back memories of that SEC official earlier this year who had a flashback and tackled South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia.

Man, at this rate I fully expect a ref to shoot a player in the leg during the Super Bowl.

It was like playing a game of chicken and at the last moment, they both moved the same direction, and then its like "Oh $^*@!"
