There is a difference between a "grammar" mistake and a typing mistake. At least I the spelling of the word "one" can be found in a dictionary. I do not think we can find the word "grammer" in any dictionary.

See what happens when you throw stones in a glass house. Your house falls apart.

Peace

(Actually, there IS a listing in Dictionary.com. It's a small town in Indiana, and the zip code is even listed: 47236.

Jeff, I know you're way above the kind of tit-for-tat that some of us "second childhood" folks find so satisfying. So I'll do it for you.)

Hey, Tigerbball, so who's "Grammer Guy"? I'm assuming he's the mayor of Grammer, IN? Is he a ref, too? Does he read the board?

LOL, whoops, he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Yep, I am just a stuped coch from Indianer. But it did get this discussion to light up.

By the way, I don't think One to Won is a typing error, just a mental mistake. We all make them, even refs.

A: I don't carry money with me, B: I am usually in the locker room at half time when the winning numbers are called, and C: with the money I make refing I already have all the money that I am ever going to need.

haha!

A)they usually hit you up on your way into the game before you get to the locker room

B)most schools do the draw in between the 3rd and 4th quarter to keep the people their longer so they can sell more tickets and concessions

C)you must work in another state from me, because with gas prices the way they are, we could all use a major raise!!

Oh well, I am human. We all make mistakes. Just as you could not spell the word "grammer" correctly, I made a mistake as well. I personally do not care if that was mental, officiating or typing mistake. It still was a mistake. It is called being a human being.

Peace

I would never buy one. As others have shown, it sends the wrong message if you win.

Keep yourself above all of that.

I understand making mistakes, I admitted mine. Didn't make excuses, laughed about it. The first thing I thought when the post came back at me was not anger or "I need to make an excuse", but laughing because I knew I set myself up. I just find it interesting to see how people handle situations like this and who has to have the last word. Who can admit mistakes. Who has trouble with them.

Now what I am waiting for is to see if you can let me have the last word.
