He gets the job done. That's all that matters.

Just my take......

PS- I have to add that I didn't see him call any game-interrupters either.

I made another post to that effect on another thread, based on the venue, magnitude of game, a zillion viewers, I'd rather have more sizzle and showmanship than the the other way and bottom line is he gets it done.

My 'sigh' was wishing it could be me.........

I'll give you that he knew that he would run into the shooter. But at the speed of the play do you think he knew, or seriously expected, the outcome?

My first reaction was flagrant, maybe I changed my mind with the way he helped the guy to his feet after the play? I know that's not the right way to call the came, just making an observation.

Flagrant? You would have thrown out the offender for that foul?

Are you a new official or perhaps not an official at all?

I have no doubt the defender knew. As for helping him up, I, also, can be remorseful.
If you have millions of fans watching, you don't want a label.

A label? Like "cynic"? Wow.

No, just stupid. All the drugs I have to take for my liver cancer are clogging my brain. I'll have to read this post at least four times to make sure it makes sense and then put it in word so I can correct the spelling mistakes.

I have some additional syndrome that I can't remember nouns. (Yes, it is a real thing.) From time to time I can't remember names of people I know very well. And then some words are in there but I can't get them out of the filing cabinet of the brain. So I'll use the wrong word from time to time. It's like I'm sitting here right now and can't remember the name of the brain syndrome.

I'll have to call the doctor and ask him.

Are you serious about this?? This isn't some kind of smart-*** comment, is it? If you truly have liver cancer, my thoughts and prayers are with you. That's a serious fight you have on your hands.

I was thinking the very same thing. If that is serious I pray that things work out for the best.

Peace

I'm going out on a limb here and letting everyone know that TSU2457 pm'd me and told me that yes, indeed, he/she is battling liver cancer. So let's all make sure we throw some prayers/positive thoughts out his/her way!!One of our officiating "family" needs them!

[JRutledge]

My God Bless TSU2457 and his/her family. You will be in my prayers that you can overcome this.

[mick]

Good luck with that, TSU2457 !

[MikeK27]

TSU2457 you will be in my family's prayers. I wish you the best.

Good question. I was asking it on behalf of my dad and brother that saw the play while I was cooking something and missed it. I told them I would ask for them to get some opinions. I didn't know either way.
