I'm sure that the intent is not to "big time" anybody, but. . .It just rubs me wrong.
Not Big Timing anybody ChuckElias. I was merely stating the point that we don't allow this behavior for sure at the high school level. It is tolerated a bit more at the college level.

PLEASE DON'T ACCUSE ME OF THIS!!!

as you could all see from my post I was a bit aggravated at ChuckElias' comments about me.
Well, I guess I'm not the only thin-skinned one. I guess I can feel a little better about that. If you look at the very beginning of my previous post, Barnaby, you'll see that I said that I didn't really think you were trying to "big time" us here. But that is, for better or for worse, the impression that I get from some of the posts made by Eli, and sometimes by tony and you. I know it's not an intentional, snobby thing. But sometimes it sounds that way. That's exactly why I said I didn't want to seem thin-skinned.

I didn't accuse you of anything. I was merely trying to point out that, while I understood the point you were making, that point should be irrelevant. It shouldn't matter whether we're discussing high school, college, big time college, or pro. That kind of language should not be tolerated at all, especially when directed at an opponent or official.

So, having said all that, I hope you too will sit back and enjoy the NFL today, have a Diet Coke and a smile. I'm blissfully serene today after staying up till 11:30 to see my Patriots prevail in OT (with a little help from the Referee!). WOO-HOO!!

Chuck
