No it won't be helpful. No one cares what you have to say.

Were you serious when you said that? Or were you playing a friend

I think he meant, "No one at the captains' conference cares what you say at the captains' conference."

Got it...and agree with it. Hell, most of the time your partners aren't listening to you either.

And I'm not kidding when I say I take 10-15 seconds. At the end, I'll ask my partners if they have anything to add. It's rhetorical -- I really don't want them to add anything. Soon as that's over with, I spin on my heels and walk the 10 steps to the table to take care of my bidness there (which always starts with taking air out of the game ball that's *always* over-inflated and checking the possession arrow).

I hate it when my R is finishing his 1 minute conference saying "except on the endlines where it's orange :D " (which piques my interest) and follows with "do you have anything to add?" It always feels like grade school when the teacher asked me to read. I never knew where we were!

The answer to that question is always "no."

Exactly...

...when I'm not the R and asked if I have anything to add, I just say...

"Have Fun".

I would hate to have one that is unconscious.

True, but sometimes we settle for semi-conscious.
