Not everything at officiating.com should be seen as "varnished" by the same broadbrush. Despite nearl every other article being written by Rollie, one needs to fight the tempation of looking at the site as WiederaendersWorld. (Although in another thread the editor claims Weedy writes twice a week, in the week between June 21 and June 28, four of the five articles posted were by Rollie.)
Interspersed amongst the maze of misinformation there are some good articles.
Tee's articles continue to entertain and inform. Actually, "article" is not the proper word for Tee's pieces. Of the writers there, he is most like a true columnist. He writes anecdotally, but not simplistically so. Actually it would be better described as he "reports" what happened. Consequently, he gets his point across without preaching or getting syrupy.
Peter's recent diptych has him getting back closer to old form. He had wandered recently, but is back to good ol' Peter, entertaining some, informing others, and pi$$ing of most. What he writes rings true once you get used to his using his goggles, and that's what probably pi$$es off most people.
Even Carl is back up to snuff in a short series on appeals. Carl, probably due in part to the quantity of writing he imposes on himself, had been hit and miss over the past few months. His latest is much closer to "hit".
I'm still hoping for an explanation of why an article on FED Basketball changes was posted on the baseball site. (And still remains there) But, that doesn't distract from the better works, or add to the worst ones.

Officiating.com appreciates the comments.
But we count our weeks differently from you.
Our week runs from Monday through Friday. In the seven days you spoke of, that's part of two weeks:
20 to 24: 3 Roland pieces
27 to 1: 2 Roland pieces
Go to On Deck (a free section). Take a gander at the "Roland" dates for July and August, and you'll see he's averaging fewer than two pieces a week.
