Thanks

PS- you guys will be getting a lot of basic questions from me this season. i'm a baseball umpire and will be migrating to football in a few years, so i'll occasionally poke my head in here to ask some questions to get a leg up for when i go do this for real.
I do, but I'll be honest when I say I'm a lot more careful about knowing the exact situation and the down before announcing on a microphone, since I'll have to tell "the world."
