OK, so I realize this is all supposed to be in good fun and all...but what is there about your style that would make you call 3 seconds on a team down by 36 with 20 seconds left in the game?

What I meant was that I didn't even think about it - I just called it because it was there. Unlike some guys I work with, I don't get to a point in the game where I intentionally say to myself to stop calling it the way I've called it all night. I'm not trying to criticize those who do in certain situations such as a blow-out, I'm just saying I can't turn my instinct on and off.

The lobotomy was really thorough!

Yeah, but it took 5 of them before one "took".

BTW Juulie - the guy I worked with in the two games in which I filled in for you happens to be the ref coordinator for the youth rec league in the next town. We exchanged ideas about recruiting, training and scheduling and it was a very productive discussion. I also told him we got a sponsor for our season kick-off jamboree and he is going to call the store of that company that's in his city to do the same.

Thanks for calling me for those games.
