C'mon chseagle. You're slipping. This was a softball for you. You should have knocked it out of the park.

Others have commented on the meaning of that statement.

I would like to commend you on using the proper "have" instead of your usual "of" in this situation.

Thank you.

Maybe I missed it...

A1 holds ball over boundry line on an AP throw in and was tied up.

So mechanically, I see 99.999995% of officials kill it before chopping and going immediately into a held ball signal.

Most timers arent going to pluck the "start clock" thingy on and off real quick in this sitch.

No way anyone has knowledge of time consumed.

Without knowledge, how are we addressing this aspect of the OP by rule?

We're addressing it by 5-9-4 (I think you missed it). Clock does not start here.

yeah yeah....

Its funny how you read something 3 or 4 times and miss a word.

Happens to my wife all the time....I'll e-mail her on game day: "Honey, after the game tonight were having a couple beers and then I'll be home". Funny, all she picks up is "After the game I'll be home".

Of course I've learned from this..."What time will you be home?" I'm asked. the answer is always...."yes."

It's a sin for wimmen to get between their husbands and their wings'n'brownpop.

Or even their apres-game tofu'n'diet coke if it's some short-azz, scum-sucking Bo-Sox fan living under a bridge up around Springfield, MASS.

I think that's written in the Bible someplace.

It's true, it's true.....

It's true, it's true.....

I happen to know that at least one diminutive, under-bridge dwelling Bo-Sox fan from Springfield enjoys regular coke, straight from a classic Coke-shaped bottle. With fish and chips. I don't think that's in the bible anywhere, but I'm sure the angels have recorded it in heaven.

It's true, it's true..... :)

I read that wrong, and at first thought you were suggesting he likes to drink the New Coke out of a Classic Coke bottle. All I could think of is, "where's the integrity?"

Well, he is a Bo-Sox fan. So I can see how you'd feel immediately compelled to question his integrity. ;)

At least I struck out swinging & trying to understand.

Nope, you should try to understand by asking questions, not answering them.

So sayeth the kinder, gentler JR....

chseagle Fri Nov 12, 2010 08:50pm

I was both asking & answering questions.

As soon as I can get things better with my knee, I am looking at joining the ranks of Floor Officials.

My wife is wanting to become a floor official as well.

So now you're a Brontosaurus instead of a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Call me, I'd loooooove to work the table!

I'd give you some pointers during the game.....whether you want to hear them or not! :rolleyes:
