Because I was being pissy. No other reason.

Anyone who can continue being the best for 1500 years has my respect. Career longevity alone puts him in the H.O.F. for that feat.

I'm still looking for the rule that says players can't chew gum.

Asked a buddy about the rule, he says the reason we can't find it is because we aren't looking in the right place. Apparantly, the ruling can only be found in the Book of OOO, Chapter 17, Article 38 (pg 1037).

I asked how would he know that?

He said he still owns a copy from his early years of officiating

I think it may have been a Point of Emphasis in 1925.

As for me, I chew gum for the first 3 minutes of the game. Then I stick on on the bottom of the ball and tell a dribbler that if I see gum on his hand, I know that he carried the ball!!

On a more serious note, I've tried chewing gum while working a game a time or two and it just gets in the way.
