Damn I'm good!

Ever hear of a concept called "referee the defense?" That's what most non-rec league officials do, and it's how you don't screw up these types of calls. You watch the entire play from the defensive player. If the offense player then decides to throw an elbow or dip the shoulder, you can easily see it when it hits the defensive player. But yet, again, you decide to buck against the norm, or as you call it, the "kool-aid," and misapply well known officiating methods.

By the way, my favorite "kool-aid" flavor is lemonade...what about you guys?
