Talking "Brotha of another mother."

I had a football game about 3 years ago and worked with a guy that is white and happens to have my same last name. Well we were doing the first game of a double header and I am the Referee or white hat for the game. I was running the coin flip and was introducing the crew to the captains. Well my "brother" was the umpire and he was doing what umpires do and monitor the coin flip and right across from me. I intruduce my umpire and say to the captains, "this is my brother......Rutledge." There was silence and a pause. I say to the kids, I am kidding guys it was a joke, then they busted out laughing and had a kick out of it.

One of the funniest moments in my officiating career.

Peace
