Never thought of officiating as a way to pick up the ladies, but you might be on to something!!
Are you sure you were not just an extra and they were filiming Cougartown or Desperate Housewives at the game?

Actually, "Leverage" is filmed in Portland.

BTW - back in 1993, there was a movie entitled "The Temp" with Timothy Hutton and Lara Flynn Boyle that was filmed here in Portland. There were some scenes shot at a middle school and one of the scenes was of a basketball game. My brother-in-law Jim was a teacher at that school and they gave him the part of being the referee in the scene. He had never refereed but he is about 6'4" and looked the part (he was a football and baseball player in HS and college and played in the Mets organization). Unfortunately, he wasn't listed in the credits - but he did get paid pretty well. Oh yeah - he wore a collared shirt. I think that's all there was back then.

Also BTW - he and his wife (my wife's sister) are both retired now and they play golf virtually every day. What a life!

You've definitely been missing the boat.

Best referee pickup line I've heard yet - said to a hot mom in the stands before a girl's game: "So, which one of these girls is your.....sister?"
