Forde: "Hey ref ... give it a rest"

[sj]

Although I've been told that more often than not, I can't tell if you're taking a shot at me or not with that statement...
Please clarify.

****It was a shot.

Whatever crew I'm on (bball or football), we take care of bidness (as JR would say) but we have a good time in the process as well ie: first one to call a foul or throw a flag buys the beers after the game, last one to the gym has the burden of being referee vs. umpire, etc. Plus I have my guys back (wrong or right) until we get to our locker room that is. Yeah, I think I make a good partner.

****As long as you have your partners back in games you work then I'd have to take it back. But based on your comment, "Fellow officials my big = a joke," that's all I had to go on at the time.
