I just have some comments:
If Mark Cuban or someone like him said we did a great job officiating games would we still say it doesn't matter because he doesn't know about officiating or would we lap it up like thirsty dogs?
I can't remember which one but I have heard a NBA official say it is difficult to officiate Shaq. Just think how many foul shots he would shoot a game if "a foul is a foul" or whatever.
Off topic slightly: How many wins would Roger Clemens have if he had Greg Maddux's strike zone? I would say at least 25 more.
