2. This statement makes no sense and isn't related to what I said. I'm not the one that said anything about bashing officials so I don't see how you can say I'm being hypocritical. You are making this up to be sensational without even bothering to connect the dots. Can you find a quote where I got "pissy" when someone said something about Teddy V? Teddy V's ability over the years speaks for itself. He isn't a perfect official, but he will go down as one of the great college officials of all time. Until something changes, Welmer's legacy will be 120+ games a year. I do not think of Welmer as an official who favors one team or another. I also don't think of Welmer as a horrible official - but I sure don't see him as an elite official either.

What I get from you is the opinion that if Burr calls it then it is right or if "Joe D1" calls it then it is the right call. You seem to condemn others if they say "Joe D1" screwed the pooch repeatedly whether it is true or not. My question was asked because of this type of opinion. I did not bring Welmer into this conversation because I wasn't thinking about him when I asked the original question. You are the one hanging on to this, not me. I said he (Welmer) is supposed to be a good guy, I said he makes the super obvious calls (primarily) and I said he - IMO - isn't among the elite. The results seem to be in line with what I'm saying. Maybe you should start to drink some of my Kool Aid!

2) See post of your's cited above. You didn't ask what was appropriate when it came to bashing officials? Someone must be posting under your name again. If you don't like the answers, don't ask the questions. 3) I don't have a clue where you get that from. I said many times that ANY official is going to blow a call sometimes. It's not about blowing individual calls. What bothers me is the fanboys and supposed officials that question another official's integrity or courage. I don't think that is appropriate when it comes to bashing officials. Iow, I just answered the question that you asked above. Again, if you don't happen to like that answer, too bad. |

officials as announcers
I seem to recall Mendy Rudolph having a brief career as an NBA analyst, back in the uuhhhhh, a long time ago. I was a kid, not qualified to critique anybody
or have opinions on important matters, or to know anything significant about most things........not much has changed......but I seem to recall him saying over and over, "good call by the official," notably moreso than any other analyst before or since. Anybody back me up on this or correct me?
