I'm not saying that to play oneupsmanship, but just to say that you can't know from your computer in DC where others have been, or who they're working with. You may be very good, and very right, and Rocky may also be the same. Ya gotta admit, his description of finding the match-up is very helpful.

I would be interested to know how high that level is. Not to compare, he is just here often and I don't have anything against anyone doing well in this business. More importantly, someone can't tell how good someone is on a computer, and I would go with the home team during an unbiased evaluation. Remember, the best don't always make it to the big time and those that are big time aren't always the best. I either get lucky everyday, or there is some skilled involved. EDIT - I just realized Rockyroad is on the women's side. A lot of differences exist...
uh, yeah. All comparisons would be a big N/A.
Back on point. Yes, his description of finding the matchup is good, but that is part of my point. We find the matchup and we referee the matchup. It is just that simple and I'm still waiting for someone to post otherwise. I'm still assuming we still catch violations and other things the offensive player does, right? So you have offensive player and defensive player, sounds like a matchup to me. Now, when a drive takes place, sure I referee the defense. I'm not disagreeing with refereeing the defense, I'm just saying there is more involved than that. I've also said this - without a contradicting post - refereeing the defense fits inside of refereeing the matchup, but refereeing the matchup does not fit inside of refereeing the defense. If the terms were a different way of saying the same thing, I don't think that would be the case.
The ability to laugh at situations in life is priceless!
