If he had any balls, he would let people comment.

Just throw some words out there and then go hide. Nice.

Ever heard of the /. effect?

Huh ????

There are some people to whom's opinion we should consider.

If they're proven to be successful in their field, perhaps using transferability of skills, they'll be successful in other areas, even those with not as much experience as others with more focused training.

Take Mark Cuban. He's a smart guy. How do we view his take on officiating?

Because he's smart in some areas, we should give credence to his very uninformed view of officiating? That's like looking to Shirley McClaine for spiritual advice, or to Richard Feynman for marriage counselling. They are both brilliant in their areas, but definitely not so wise in other things. Cuban has his strengths, sure, but I'm not sure evaluating officials is one of them.

If you realy wanted to speak to Feynman about your marriage you would need someone like McClaine to contact his spirit.

Yea, good one! But my point stands. I admire the heck out of Richard Feynman, but he sure didn't "get" women. That's okay, but my point is, it's just not true that because someone is very good at one thing, he or she is very good at everything else.

I can't comment on how well Feynman got women but I will say just because someone is very good at one thing doesn't mean he or she is NOT good at anything else.

How did Cuban's Dairy Queen gig turn out? I never heard how well or poorly he did.

A website is slashdotted when it is posted at the website slashdot.org. Often so many hits arise for the next few days that webmasters are forced to alter the content of their site, otherwise the web server will crash from all the traffic.

I totally agree. I mean, you are a great example of that right? YOu're really good at reffing and I've never doubted for a minute that there must be something else you're good at. Never doubted.

Okay, I"ll drop it then. I was being a little snide, but I apologize, and step back. Forget that I said it.
