Four years ago it was the way guys dressed. I got so tired of going to games with ELMER FUDD wannabees....:)

I wasn't mad, just a little upset that he didn't point her out to me. :rolleyes:

BTW - this guy is in his 5th year, I think.

It takes a few years before an official is experienced enough to be able to relax and really take in all the atmosphere of the game site. :D

Whats wrong with enjoying the scenery from time to time....Hell, isn't that supposed to be one of the perks of the job?

My pet peeve is working with a partner who thinks that watching the "scenery" is one of the perks of the job.

Welcome back, Juulie. Where ya' been, sweetheart? Happy Valentine's Day.

Of course, when you work with Juulie, she is the scenery. :)

Freddy and I have a lot of the same pet peeves. Perhaps we could work well together.

You're darn right there are. And if you make a call against their little baby, they transform immediately from hot babe to somebody's irate old lady :)
What a bummer!

I usually scan the crowd in pre-game so I know right where to look during dead balls. :D
