Is there a point here?

I would never say I have never blown a strike call. If you umpire that is something that is going to happen every now and then. I do not remember as a result that events afterwards happen as you state. I have had calls that I was all on top of and one of the coaches complained and made a big stink about the situation. Then to come back and claim I was right when there player told them what happen.

You are perfect and that is why you hang out here. To show us all how scary your talent is. When did you graduate from Pro School? When did you work in the Minors?

Your condescending nature is really getting old.
If you need to know I have never attended pro school because I am probably too old to want to become a pro umpire. Some of us also have jobs and responsibilities that would make becoming a pro umpire very difficult. I make a lot more than what they pay as a Minor League Umpire will make in several years of service. I have a very good job and have to put some children thru college sooner than later.

What major college conferences do you crew for? When you accomplish those things, you can second guess my advice.

You work in a major conference in Football? Which one, SEC, ACC or Big Ten? We are talking about football here right?

My name has to do with the fact that my kids have me playing PS2 a lot of the time. We have an XBOX, Playstation 2 and Game Cube. I happen to play a lot of Madden with my sons and my children play more of the other systems. I thought it was a funny name and I have many stories with my children because that is one of many things we do together.
My officiating career is something I did before I had them. I wanted a family, not to become the greatest official on this earth. I will say this that I might get some consideration soon at a higher level. I will keep most of that to myself and let you figure it out. The thing is it is not in baseball. I am sure I will make more in a few games than you will make in your entire minor league season if that comes to reality. That is not important but the rest of us are not idiots here. Many of us know what it takes to reach the levels we officiate. You are a sad individual that has all your identity invested in what level you work. I would rather be a good father and good husband and a person respected in the community. Officiating is something I do on the side. All those other things are much more important.
