My point was/is/has been/always will be that Rut was bashing other officials with his "bear belly" comment. Am I the only one that felt this way? Everyone else thought is was just fine to downtalk other officials? In my association, you just don't do that. Yes, we have some fat asses. They know who they are. But we would NEVER compare our "slim, athletic" selves to these guys the way Rut did. Wouldn't it have been a little more professional to say that "we have some folks that could work on their conditioning a little."?
Guess the mole hill just got a little taller...

Big Dave,
That is just Rut.
He is who he is.
If they look like a fat duck, walk like a fat duck, quack like a fat duck, they probably are fat ducks... including the bear bellies.
