That's disgusting...don't post anymore disgusting stuff like that or we'll have to borrow JR's 2x4 and come visit you!:p

It does make one wonder about that. The great thing about the Internet is you can claim to be anything or anywhere. :rolleyes:

I'm not claiming to be anything. This post has gone the way most go here. Soemone post something, if others think it is wrong they respond in disagreement. If the original poster continues to say he/she is right and even backs it up with rules/definitions or state interps those who said he was wrong continue to tell him so. Then others chime in and start making a joke of it. So a post can go from a legit message into a thread that becomes worthless because instead of discussing the issue some choose to attack the poster. Why does who I am have anything to do with what I post? I could be Mary Struckoff for all you know, would I be right then? or do we still listen to the veterans of the discussion board?

Not necessarily. :p

But, in all seriousness, are you Mary Struckoff?

If you aren't, then why wouldn't people be more willing to listen to the ones that have proven their knowledge and expertise over time, as opposed to someone that just comes aboard in their first post to express a negative opinion about some of the members of this forum?

Veterans tend to be very wise in general & they provide rules knowledge/interps along with little tips that can't be found in rule books.
So ummm yeah I will always "listen" to 'em... without vets who would teach the next generation or should I say genration next :D

I agree with you that Vets always have something to offer. But in the world of officiating age doesn't always equal experience. There are plenty of guys who have been around a long time who have never gotten very far in officiating while others have gone a long ways in less time. So just because someone has been doing it a long time doesn't mean they know what they are talking about. Listen? Yes. Take what they give and use it in your game? Maybe. Say that because they've been doing it along time so they are always right? No.

Shut up.

Read situations 6 and 7 on the NFHS website and tell me if Mary is right or not. :rolleyes:

Try working Hackensack, Bayonne and pusillanimous in there too.

What do you mean "everyone"?

Maybe we should have a poll......

Good point.

Maybe he/she is Mary.

Sigh...go back and read post #15 again. That rockyroad guy is pretty smart for a young fella! :p Seriously, if you've been lurking around here "for years" as you claim, then you would know better than to make these statements. When proven wrong according to the actual rules - not someone's personal interpretation of those rules - every single one of the "veteran" posters has admitted they were wrong - and will continue to do so. But when some putz comes on here and starts spouting what they "think" or "feel" should be right, they will get treated with brutal - but empathetic - honesty.

And I have no freaking idea what pusilan...pussill...pusilll...whatever that word is, means. But it kinda reminds me of that one post that made rainmaker so mad!!:eek:

And when Dick Cheney got caught he called it "hunting".

When Bill Clinton got caught he called it another day at the office.

Finally (and I do mean finally)...did you hear the tragic news? Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge last night coming home from a party. His twinkie drowned.

Impossible. Twinkies float. Even when filled.

We might have to find another appellation, considering the way JJ has pitched. The lad is impressive as hell.
