Refs seem to be getting a bad shake lately. If they’re not under investigation for something, they’re getting increasingly yelled at for crappy officiating. Well, Rannord A. Jones has one-upped Congress, the NBA, fans and everyone who’s been on the ref’s case. Over the weekend, Jones bit the ref officiating his rec league soccer game in the face. We bet a lot of the Spanish players were thinking about doing just that to the German referee during yesterday’s Euro match against Italy.

“The player was so enraged that he just savagely attacked the official, biting him almost in an animal manner about the chin,” Cpl. Trinidad Navarro said.

Yeah, that’s never good.

[Witness Rob] Traynor described what he saw: “The ref went down. He grabbed his chin and went down on one knee like he was hurt, and I thought he was almost like faking it. And then I looked, and there was blood pouring out.”

“You just don’t bite somebody like that,” said Dave Dease, a witness to the incident.

Yeah man. The ref has to at least book you twice with a red card in the season before you get to show the teeth.
