Great job

You guys crack me up. The posts on this board are all over the spectrum from clueless, ignorant, informative, nasty, useful etc. Guess what.... so are the people who write the posts. I fell victim to the "sillyness" a couple of weeks back and now I just sit back and laugh about it. The key is to not only consider the source but also the writing CONTENT of that source.

I remember a guy who once told me... "Sal, I've been umpiring since you were in a crib" (about 25 yrs). At the time, I thought well I guess he really knows what he's talking about. As time went on and I got more training, I realized that this guy, who judged his ability and knowledge of umpiring according to the number of years on the field, had been making the SAME mistakes, over and over again, for the past 25+ years. Experience can be deceiving but what a man preaches and practices is not.

Your basketball example has already worn thin on all of us here.

The word is "risque". It is a cultured way of turning a simple phrase. I believe that if you were to ever leave your double wide, you may find that the world now has color TV and your Klan membership is a bad thing! Judging people and then chastising others for doing the same thing is pretty hypocritical.

Windy, maybe my basketball example has worn thin, but you're still very conveniently refusing to deal with the original argument. You stated that one basketball official could overrule another. Well, you got laughed off the basketball board on that one. That was after you got laughed off of the football forum too, right? Not trying to get a call right was NEVER a part of the ongoing argument, no matter how hard you try to make it.

"Klan Membership", Windy? "Klan Membership"? Uh, what race exactly am I? Do you really know and how do you really know? After the way that you've gone after Jeff all over the internet, and all the names that you've called him in the past, are you really sure that you shoulda brought something like that up? Name-calling doesn't win arguments, Windy, no matter how good you are at it. And you're world class.
