One of the issues that led the NFL to lock out its officials prior to the 2012 season was the league's interest in having officials work full time. Currently, officials have other full-time jobs and work three or four days a week during the season preparing for games. And according to an ESPN report from last summer, more than 90 percent of those officials aren't willing to leave their full-time jobs or the salaries that go with them. Those sentiments haven't changed, at least to hear Hochuli tell it. In an interview with 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime, the 62-year-old says he already works full-time hours as an official and squeezes in time to be a lawyer. “I am a full-time official,†Hochuli said (via PFT). “I'm as full-time as the coaches or the players or anybody could be. If they said, ‘Ed, you can't be a lawyer anymore, you can only do this,' there's nothing else that I could do.†Source: CBS Sports
Well we know one official that doesn't think he can do it full time...or maybe he wasn't offered a full time gig...
