Yeah....you guys make it sound easy. Some partners are tough. My first partner was a guy named Vinny Carmungellino from Brookyln. Heavily connected in the Gambino Crime Family. The guy was 5'-3", 280 pounds and all muscle. My first game, Vinny says to me,
"Kid...yoose make me luk bad....yoose end up in da sidewalk sumwheres. Capise?"
Vinny was a bad Ref but a great friend. I even helped him whack a guy after a Game once. (It paid better than the CYO gigs we were blowing and all I had to do was stir the concrete.) I don't think that I'd be doing Varsity Games, now, unless Vinny had hung the Assigner out his 64th story window by his wing-tips.
Vinny and I haven't worked together since he entered the Witness Protection Program a few years back. If you ever read a Story about a yappy Coach that mysteriously goes missing.....safe bet that Vinny is working that District.
