During last night's Steelers-Bengals game, I tweeted that game referee Mike Carey is 64 years old. This stunned many of my followers, as you will see below. Several people were even skeptical, as if they were questioning my journalistic integrity.

This amusing video (sent by @PeterSowards) of a conversation between Carey and Brett Favre from three years ago is undisputed proof of Carey's age.
