Our sons are in school right now, but I know what they would say if they say the film and I would agree with them: What a dork!!

It was almost funny. It was obviously not a real playground game. If it had been, the ref would've been calling for an ambulance, instead of his mommy.

HBO was showing this for a while. I think it's pretty funny and barely entertaining.

I finally was able to watch this video at home this afternoon. It was horrible. I'm surprised the players didn't shoot this guy. I mean, if some jerk showed up at my playground and wanted to ref like this, I'd leave the game and go for a beer!

No, that's incorrect. This is NOT the short film that HBO was televising.

In the HBO short, a young official was trying to break in with the locl rec dept. However, they had already hired all the officials they needed. As he left the rec center, he started officiating a street ball game. After a while, one player disagrred with a call and pulled a gun on him. He didn't back down but the gunman did. The rec center supervisor heard about it and was impressed. She called and hired him.

This would seem to be a spoof of the HBO film.

Boring...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...what the heck is this the best that the zebra hunters can do for laughs? You give them an opportunity to dump on us officials and that is the best they can do? If I had the opportunity to make a short about psycho fans I would have gotten Jamie Kennedy!
