Larks, this exchange just sounds like you provoked the situation. Telling guys that they haven't been playing seems insulting. I don't know what transpired before your comment, but I think the T could have been avoided by simply keeping quiet. We all do games where the quality of play is poor, but we can't tell the players they stink. And that's what you did -- or at least, that's how it was perceived. Rule of thumb: the less said, the better.

I'm not sure this comment is meant as an insult, but I do
hope Larks has taken it out of his list of quick one-liners.
The response he got is exactly what he deserved
I agree that the T was not deserved, if a player/coach
one-ups your wise*ss remark ya kinda have to smile &
take it, IMO, which is why you have to be careful with the
stock wise*ss remarks. But we go to camps to put ourselves
in new and exciting situations & learn from them!
