Most people probably didn’t realize that “giving him the business” was a 15-yard penalty in American football. Even more people probably forgot that this wasn’t the first time the “giving him the business” penalty was ever called. Back in 1986, an NFL referee by the name of Ben Dreith introduced us to this obscure rule during a New York Jets v. Buffalo Bills game
