And just to add MY $0.02 to the Ed Rush thing...
I hope the league keeps him. It was a joke. Let's not turn it into more than what it was.
Ed is the consummate educator — he's 71 years old and could be doing lots of other things, but he loves officiating and officials and wants to keep making contributions to the game.
Every encounter I have ever had with Ed has been positive. When I was a young official he personally stuck his neck out for me in a situation he didn't have to — for no reason other than that he cares about officials. I'll have to consider telling the story sometime (it is a DOOZY) ... but that encounter told me everything that I need to know about Ed.
So, here's hoping the crazy-ass sports writers, coaches, and fans don't get their way based on their own perceptions of what occurred, conveniently molded to fit their preconceived notions.
