""It's kinda suspicious because of its close proximity to the game, but he doesn't know if it was related to his duties as a referee, his job as a high school principal or if it was a random act of mischief," Stockton police Lt. Thomas Wells told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Wednesday. "

Hahaha.

EDWARD HOCHULI IS A LAWYER, AND HE IS THE BEST OFFICIAL EVER

i really hope he and his crew officiate the superbowl and one of the conference championships, hes fun to listen to

if anyone were to try to vandalize the Hochuli home, hed choke them out with his biceps

$1600 a game + ($100 x # of years of service) for regular and preseason games, all guaranteed 20 games

$11,000 a playoff game (If an official doesn't get a playoff game they get the probowl, 4 days in Hawaii + $3,000 for the game)

$25,000 for the superbowl

Once they retire they get $150 x # of years of service per month

But that was before the ref strike, I don't have a clue what they get now

This is hardly surprising. This is from the same team fans that vandalized Tommy Maddoxs' house
