It's true, it's true......seriously too.

The Big Dawg has either seriously lost his street cred, or these are far enough out there that the cred has been permanently affixed.

JR used to be the second best ref in his association.

Everyone else was tied for first.

I think that I first heard that one in 1959 too.

You're just jealous 'cause you don't have alligator mittens too. I can get my wife to knit ya a pair though. $721 plus freight and handling-COD. Guaranteeed to keep your hands warm during your football games("Ooooo....nice mittens, Mr. Refereee, nice mittens").:D

I have worked with a guy that flagged the two in the same way Winston Churchill gave the "V for victory" sign!!!

He couldn't of been a child of the 60's overwise the 2 fingers facing a more appropriate direction would have been a natural. mind you, when I pointed out to him what he'd done in our post game, it was the source of much laughter!

I bet she will! :D The alligator mittens will match my alligator polo shirt.

I knew you read the beisbol forums, but I didn't know you read the football forum too.

End of October for me......Old Feller.:D

Did my first Varsity football game in September that year. Had my first communal post-game brown-pop <i>soiree</i> the same month. One of the Rites of Passage back then.
