Gene Steratore foul explanation during the Packers/Ravens game may be a record.

It was long but very helpful without the stammering that you often hear when a referee has to explain something odd that has happened.

Impressive, he accurately conveyed the information without any hesitation.

Steratore is a very good official (NFL and NCAA bball). One small flaw of his is he often is walking while he is delivering the call over the P.A. system. He also has a confident swagger on the field and the court.

His mic work is as good as Hochuli IMO.  He does have a swagger and air to him, almost like he's p'd off.  He is my favorite, although I like Carey on the mic too.

From the article:

"Nobody has a fantasy referees' league"

Guess he needs to pay a visit to Close Call sports sometimes.  ;D
