Smitty,

I have enough of the high level games as my schedule and family will allow. I am not upset about my assignor and what games he gives me. What Iam saying is, you work your butt off to get to this level, clinics, films, working summer leagues to keep in shape etc. I have done what it takes to be a good and respected official. I have paid my dues. What gripes me is the fact I go to game see these 3 "fat officials" out of shape,out of position, etc. and yet they are doing a game they have not business doing and they know it. I have given up alot of family time to be the type of official I have become. I see these guys out there, and Iam thinking while Iam in a gym at 110 degrees in the summer away from my family putting in the time it takes to advance my skill level, these guys are sitting in the back yard having a cookout with their family eating, drinking and more eating and getting fatter and fatter.
