NFL vice president of officiating Al Riveron announced four moves among the league’s corps of officials on Twitter on Tuesday, among them that longtime referee Ed Hochuli is retiring.
Hochuli has become something of a cult figure among NFL writers, broadcasters and fans for his buff physique – and the too-tight striped shirt he wore to cover them, often opting for short sleeves even on the coldest of days.
A lawyer in his off-field life, the 67-year-old Hochuli has been an NFL referee since 1999, having began his career with the league as a back judge in 1990. He was the crew chief for 19 playoff games, including for Super Bowl XXXVIII between the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers.
The replacements for Hochuli and Triplette have been chosen, and one of them is a familiar name: side judge Alex Kemp and back judge Shawn Hochuli, Ed’s son.
Kemp is relatively new to the NFL; FootballZebras.com writes that he’s been with the NFL since 2014, but was with the Big Ten for a few years previously. He also has a family tie to NFL officiating: his later father, Stan, was also a side judge and referee in the league.
Shawn Hochuli also joined the NFL in 2014, after working as a back judge and referee in the Big 12 and Pac-12 conferences as well as the Arena Football League.
Both Kemp and Hochuli auditioned for the referee position during preseason games.
If his son is half the man his father is, take that into consideration when betting his games.

Sorry MB67.....wrong referee. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 20.0px 0.0px; line- font: 16.0px Georgia; color: #48494a; -webkit-text-stroke: #48494a; background-color: #ffffff} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} span.s2 {font-kerning: none; color: #0066cc; -webkit-text-stroke: 0px #0066cc} On Oct. 5, 1986, Ben Dreith made his famous "giving him the business" call during a New York Jets-Bills game. "Personal foul, No. 99 of the defense," Dreith announced. "After he tackled the quarterback, he was giving him the business down there." To emphasize it, Dreith gave a mini-demonstration, showing the world with his right arm what it looks like to give someone the business.I'll never forget that old c0dger of a referee saying that.Hilarious!Thanks for bringing that up MB67
Thanks for the correction Cooler - hard to believe that was 32 years ago time flys.
