As a football and basketball official, I have to work much more with partners and be on the same page with my partners.

So it cracks me up when a baseball umpire comes to a basketball board to talk about calls that are not close to anything in baseball. The game is not simple and black and white.

There are no ties. The runner has to beat the ball.

I have no desire to be b*tched at, whined at, and belittled more than a few months a year.

I'm now eagerly anticipate a flood of wife jokes

Which reminds me of this gem....
