The curse of Phil Luckett strikes again (to jog the memory, he was the blower of the Vinny T sneak TD call and the infamous "I said Tails!" call on Thanksgiving for Jerome Bettis.)
Tom White is probably a goner after this year. He'll be demoted to line judge like ol' Phil did.
For some reason, I love knowing who the refs are by name. It's fun to guess who the ref is before they show his name, and it boggles the minds of people watching with you.
Some of my present ref favorites include "The Bouncer" Ed Hoculi, "Smooth" Johnny Grier, and "Gentleman" Gerry (Gerald) Austin.
My all time favorite refs have to be Jerry Markbriet (he was in the one NFL commercial as the ref taking the turkey out of the oven) because he almost always did all the San Fran games, and Red Cashion because when there was a penalty on the defense he would always yell, "FIRST DAAAHHHHNNNNN!"
