I know the old Eddie Murphy routine about eating steak all the time...after a while it's just steak. But, if you can vary the level and fun/interest in that one sport, is that better than constantly switching gears and trying remember a myriad of different rules?

If I had a chance to work the levels of ball that you work, then I could see being a one sport official and being an all-sport fan.
I do not have that opportunity.
I am old. I am cold.
I hope I am not mediocre. I strive to be better than that.
I work very hard at my sports.
I learn. I change. I adjust.
I hope I am not an average official,
...but a lot of us are.
