I'm about to take on my first VAR game...

I suppose that is meaningful to some, but sayings like that always make me laugh. Why not break it down into 16 two minute sections. Why not break it down into 32 one minute sections. Or maybe, just concentrate for one big 32 minute section.

Yeah, I know.. I'm being sarcastic and the point is to maintain focus, but some of these "ref sayings" are pretty inane when you really think about them.

One time an official told me that the middle of the third quarter was the most important part of the game for us to set the tone. I'm still trying to figure that one out. Maybe I'm just too dense.
