Refereed Cartoons and Comics

'What? ... Oh, come on, ref! I barely pressured him!'

'Well, I don't know if it's the greatest. But it's definitely one of the greatest seesaw battles I've ever witnessed.'

Thank you for not flying into a rage and pummeling the ref!!

'Are referees black with white stripes or white with black stripes?'

'Personal Fowl, number 83...'

Football on field mugging.

'Good news from the field, sire! Attila did not like the referee's call, so he's folding up his tents, taking his ball and going home!'

'Upon further review, it has been determined that the quarterback did not fumble the ball...'

His patience running thing, the ref pushes the mute button and ends the argument.

'I don't care who made the peaceful overture! Break it up and resume fighting!'

'We've got a personal hygiene foul! Number 70!... Fifteen yards!!'

Dominic walks onto the court, safe and secure in his new heckle proof body armor.

'Geez, Dad! You never scream your lungs out at the refs! Don't you love me?!'

Players from both teams charge into the seats and grab the belligerent fan.

'OK, here we go. In order to pinpoint the cause of violence in sports...'

'So, Henry. Just exactly how 'controversial' was that call you made in tonight's game?'

Well, Harold, the hecklers are on the front lawn again. What did I tell you about not bringing work home with you?'

'...60, 80 - whoa! - a hundred bucks! Okaaaay, you've got 20 minutes.'

'Get on the ground! Hands behind your head! Move! ... OK, anyone else feel like arguing with the ref?'

'Yeah, OK. So? He vaporized your guy. But I didn't see it, and I can't call what I don't see.'

'Uh-oh. That's the 'special' whistle. ... This is going to be a major penalty.'

The corporate ref slaps Vincent with a foul- and then a couple of quick technicals for arguing.

'Technically, that has to go down as a missed chance...'

'OK, Doug, don't tell Bill because he'll fire me, but everything a foot in front of my face is a blur.'

'Our coach telecommutes.'
