Jeez, Tony, don't you read all of our little tangents? OOO = omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. Obviously, Ballen is worried that people will think he has a God-complex.

Or, he might be worried that he's obviously overly officious. Either way.

I reckon I jus' ain't hip to it.

Right....overly officious. It's just that I don't see anyone else issuing warnings.

I tell the thrower spot or run.

I tell the defender not to break the plane.

It's preventive officiating.

Over Officious Oaf.

The sentence uses it incorrectly.

I was aware of the change a few weeks ago, when Bob J mentioned it over on the McGriff board. But I didn't have my books at that point. Then I forgot about it until a couple weeks ago when somebody brought it up over here. So I pulled out the book, looked at the Penalty section, and saw the change. No, I wasn't keeping it a secret. See http://www.officialforum.com/thread/11134

And my reaction was that the rules committee realized that previously Camron and I were right; under the old ruling it would've been a T. They didn't want it to be a T, so they changed the wording of the penalty, so that the play is now legal.

You can expect to be fined by Paul Tagliabue.

That depends on what Tony found and where was he looking? His wife might not want to know that he "found it".
