habeas grabus
Habeas grabus is when the Steelers get held so bad it feels like the ref is in on it. It’s like being stuck in traffic when you’re late for a date with a hot dog.
"Habeas grabus! The ref is a Browns fan!", Tunch Ilken, 2003
"This holding is so bad, I think the ref has a second job as a mime.", Craig Wolfley, 2005
"I’d rather get tackled by a moose than take this holding penalty.", Myron Cope, 2007
