My partner told me in our pre-game not to ever call anything in his area. Sorry." Coaches do not tend to react well to that line of thinking.
Mr Pea,

I believe as you start to work your way through the many threads on this board you'll find that not everyone agrees with you (and me) that our only job is to get it right. In fact, I'm more than a little discouraged by how many people are fond of saying (in so many words) "Yeah but who was watching YOUR primary while you were helping your partner get it right".

Anyway...nice to meet ya.

BTW Footlocker, cute jokes. Got any that are not 30 years old?
