I'm getting hundreds of e-mails -- hate mail -- but I'm responding to it all," Hochuli wrote to several Chargers fans, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. "People deserve a response. You can rest assured that nothing anyone can say can make me feel worse than I already feel about my mistake on the fumble play. You have no idea ... Affecting the outcome of a game is a devastating feeling. Officials strive for perfection -- I failed miserably. Although it does no good to say it, I am very, very sorry.

He's standing tall and taking it like a man. Stay Strong, Ed....

Charger fans once again showing their class.

If this call would have been the other way round...

so that the Chargers where the Broncos in this case, nobody would talk about Eds mistake any more. And he would not receive those Mails!

@Chargers-Fans: Search elsewhere for reasons your team lost against an unstoppable Broncos-Offense!

I sincerely hope so....

Because Chargers fans are getting killed right now for having no lives. Ed Hochuli has stood up, admitted he was wrong, and for that the Chargers fans continue to send him e-mails….No-life having, booger eaters!!!

That has to be the official quote of la la land concerning the chargers.

P.S. This Friday college sucked.

College, as in the school I'm attending,

My brain is fried from two tests, an English Paper, and a Computer Program Report due.

I really really

dislike this course of action by Hochuli. Actually, I suppose it would be more fair to say that it evokes a lot of pity, not dislike.

He doesn’t owe a bunch of idiot fans spewing hatred anything. He answers to his employers, thats it. It is a good show of class to extend and apology to the Chargers and Broncos, since they were directly affected by the call, but everyone else is just making a punching bag of Ed to assuage their ill-founded self-esteem.

Really, really really don’t like this.

Mountains, forest, sea: these render man fierce, but yet do not destroy the man.

I was glad to hear on ESPN "The Heard"

him calling out the fans who are emailing Ed as a bunch of no life losers. lol Love it! Finally the entire nation is finding out how much San Diego sports fans suck!

That's what is happening...

This country loves to forgive…

Make a mistake, say your sorry, all is forgiven. Act like Bonds, or McGuire and feel the wrath…We are a forgiving society, but we don’t like being lied to…
