Voice of reason? Nahhhhhh, I've never claimed that. Patient enough to see the facts come out? Yeah. I've grown far more patient over the years.

I also don't feel the need to hide behind a phony name. That's usually for people with something to hide.
I found it funny that all the talking heads (mainly on ESPN Radio) this morning were taking Bradley's side. As if the umpire should just thank his lucky stars he's on the field and should repeat to himself over and over "I'm not the show, I'm not the show."

The announcer world and the rest of the world is so anti-official it shouldn't surprise me. But Bradley *is* a major league a-hole and everyone knows that. So it surprised me when everyone started blaming the calm, collected umpire (only one person in that altercation didn't lose his cool and it wasn't Bradley).
