If you do not like the opinions that I or anyone else gives, do not follow the damn advice or point of view. If you do not like the words that I have to say, do not use them. I personally do not give a rat's ***. I am not going to win an extra prize if you ignore what I have to say.

I told you that grumpiness comes with experience.
Just an observation, fwiw, before I get the popcorn out.
Most top officials that I have met have a few things in common. They are usually type A personalities who are very, very confident in their own abilities. They might act humble, but believe me, when it comes to their opinion of their own officiating ability, they aren't. Sometimes that self-confidence can be confused with arrogance. There's a big difference.
Was it Padgett that posted something like "Sometimes wrong but never uncertain"? That's usually the mark of a good official imo.
