I've been lucky enough to go to Mickey Crowley's camp. He's funny and great to talk to. Before I went to his camp, he spoke at my association's annual banquet. In the course of his comments, he patted his midriff and said, "Gentlemen, you are looking at the last of the fat referees!" We laughed, but he was totally serious. Tim is right, athleticism is in demand at higher levels.
