OT - Should I watch for dunking during warmups?

[Mark Padgett]

Tonight I have a "competitive" league 6th grade girls game. Out of all the levels in this league, this one has the "worst" parents. Of course, their daughters never foul anyone but any time another player even looks at their kid cross-eyed when they have the ball, it's gotta be a shooting foul, probably flagrant.

Over the years, I've found out that even my best meds don't help. That's why I've taken to wearing earplugs to these games. I emailed my partner and told him to bring a pair.

Oh yeah - we're required to wear the gray shirts with the thin black stripes to games in this league. I have no idea why. I had to buy one from Honigs.

The good news is that we're expecting some snow and freezing rain here later today. Maybe the game will be canceled. Just kidding about that being good news - I could use the cash because I have to buy more meds for this coming weekend's games. In this league, they pay us at halftime, usually in cash.

BTW - the girls games in this league usually take a long time to play due to the 10,000,000 jump ball calls.
