He's Givin' Him The Business!

This is possibly the greatest act of refereeing of all time. So great, in fact, that it became the title of this blog. Welcome to Givin' Him The Business, a site devoted to football. I have the misfortune of attending the University of Illinois and being a huge football fan, which may result in this site not being the cheeriest. Illinois' first five conference games of 2009 exemplify why I have not noticed a lot of football blogs by Illinois fans. I'm also a big fan of the pros, and despite being from the Chicagoland area, I'm a lifelong Packer Backer. Now that that's out of the way though, remember how I said the first link was the greatest act of refereeing of all time? Here are a few more great ones...

A respectable tribute to the classic, but I like the enthusiastic punching of the original.

I can't find a video of this, but in the 2010 Cotton Bowl, an Ole Miss player received a 15-yard penalty after scoring a touchdown for "Calling Attention to One's Self." That needs its own separate signal; ref does the Ickey Shuffle?

Honorable mention to the ref who tackled Stephen Garcia of the Cocks, but lest anyone forget, Rams RB Kenneth Darby got jacked up by an official. That's what you get for going over the middle against these refs!
