I never take any post personally (unlike some people here - I won't mention any names but his initials are, well, never mind), and I thought I was clear that my only issue was the comment about the officials determining the outcome of the game by "selling their calls".

In fact, I usually take issue with those who say that one "wrong" call determined the outcome of a game.

I do agree with you that there is a big difference between an official calling with confidence and one who showboats.

It reminds me of a comment Ed Hightower has made many times: "Be in control of the game without controlling the game." Very good advice.
