Chuck, I didn't read Larry as saying that I should see each game as MY most important game ever. Rather, he's asking us to give basic respect to the players of every game, and take THEIR investment seriously. I'd bet my bottom dollar you always do that, because that's the kind of guy you are. In fact, probably Larry's just preaching to the choir, since anyone who reads this board is likely going to be the kind of person who takes this avocation seriously, and wants to do well at everything. Jeff is agreeing with this, when he says that we should "officiate our best at all times." He simply doesn't take the lowerlevel games, since he doesn't want to give the kind of attention and care that these games deserve. That's just another form of respect.
