Don't criticize officials in my town, buddy.
I was trying to find something on the net and I came across an archive of letters to the editor for our local paper here in Portland, "The Oregonian". I know that years ago, I used to write letters to them occasionally and I found one I had written regarding some criticism of sports officials. Just thought you might like to read it.

Well Put Mark Padgett ...
"There are only two people in the entire gym who don't care who wins the game -- themselves and their officiating partner."
This (above) should be Mark Padgett's First Rule Of Officiating, not that other First Rule Of Officiating.

Be sure to write this down
OK - for all you newbies, the real first rule of officiating is:
TUCK YOUR WHISTLE IN YOUR JERSEY BEFORE YOU TAKE A LEAK. This applies to both male and female officials.
