Even as an official or a group of officials we have ongoing discussions about plays.

That is typical as I think fans focus too much on what we do and not enough on what the players or coaches are doing. It is just the way it is and often if I am with a group of officials people figure out we are officials by our talk. And the conversations I have heard form fans are very similar to what we hear from the stands when working, but more extensive. The same silly comments or ignorant comments about rules or situations that never are based on actual facts. It is comical and funny often and just makes me realize why I do not listen to fans in the first place.
