You're doing exactly what you said you wouldn't do in the last idiotic thread you started - instead of asking for specific analysis of a particular play, or asking general questions about philosophy of game management, etc, you have chosen to dump on three specific officials who have an immeasurable amount more experience and knowledge than you.

It's simple, really - around here you're either with us or against us. You appear to have chosen the latter.

Exactly. There isn't one of us who hasn't missed a call, made a terrible call or had a bad game. And nobody feels worse than an official when he's been in that situation. And we all have been. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting an honest critique or evaluation at those times. Hopefully, we can learn something from it.

When you just haphazardly dump over a complete officiating crew without giving any real tangible or credible reason for doing so however, you've gone way too far imo. And when you repeatedly do so, it becomes very telling. If the officials missed a call, explain the call and why you think it was missed. If the officials are out of position, give examples. When you just say "phantom fouls" and "whistle happy", you're simply moving into fanboy territory. We take enough crap from know-nothing fans without having so-called fellow officials doing exactly the same thing.

Come on guys, I think we all need to lighten up a little on our Little Breeze...it is patently obvious that the system in California is fatally flawed and officials were chosen who screwed the whole thing up by making phantom calls and trying to decide the game instead of just letting the players play. Wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't some betting on the side - you know how those refs are about gambling on their games! If only Li'l Breezy had been picked to ref that game, THEN we would have seen some incredible judgement calls and one helluva well reffed game!!

That post seemed a little long-winded.

Wow, you got it!

I guess thin-skinned people are less likely to get jokes.

Or, maybe it just went over his head.
