I know I do, ever since I read Jon Diebler's article on the pay side about this. Actually I only work with guys who drive the same make/model/color/year car to the game as I do. This advice was given to me by Chuck (wait for it...who's Chuck?) Elias. I am so happy that white walled tires are not in fashion anymore!


I won't work with a bald ref.......we don't match.

I only referee with my siamese twin. Not only are we dressed completely the same, we also have the same brain.

Can't get much better than that!

Yeah, that's the other thing.

Need to coordinate eye color too. I have 3 sets of tinted contacts (brown, hazel & albino) so that's not a problem.

You misspelled "fabulous." (this is the edited version)

That is very silly. Considering that I have not worn belted pants since my first season that would be damn near impossible for me to match my partner's pants. I am not wearing the western front pants anymore whether you like it or not. I do not wear shoes based on what other people buy. If I tried to come close to matching shoes I would spend more money than I could afford just to be perfect as you think we should be. I guess every official I have worked with we look sloppy because of all the issues you would find a problem because we do not match they way you suggest. That is just plain stupid if you ask me.

I am sure the coordinators or evaluators did not have an issue with this. Considering I saw several times on TV there were similar uniform "issues" when I watched games this season. I am sure someone does not care.

Diebler takes a sheep with him to each game, shears, cleans, spins and dyes the thread, and weaves his own shirt to match his partner.

I don't care to know why JR takes a sheep with him to each game.

And, no, I don't want to see that sheep on the motorcycle picture again.

That would be the genetically modified sheep that produces a synthetic fiber?

I thought so.

What on earth would JR be doing with that kind of a sheep?



Oh. Never mind, I don't think I want to know.

Never wore western front pants..........never will. I have enough problems getting my calls right.

JRutledge Fri Mar 23, 2007 03:44pm

When you say you are trying to match pants, I am sure someone still wears them. There are D1 officials still wearing them. Not everyone likes the look of the pleated pants. Many guys think the pants make them look fat.
