I guess anyone can write a blog.

What makes it funny is that he actually believe what he writes.

I would've read closer if the guy could've put two sentences together without a spelling or grammar mistake. Some people just have no pride in their work.

My two favorites among the comments posted:
God only knows what over-the-back means anymore. .....these refs, aside from getting booed and heckled, get a free pass |
This has to be Padgett trying to string together as many cliches as possible into one post. I'd say more but I don't want to be considered arrogant.

Illinois guys, any truth to the "an official can only work state finals 3 times" part? Did he for get the "consecutive" in there?

No officials are so good that the tournament is markedly poorer but for their absence. One official or even a small group of officials are simply not that important. |

REF in all caps
So, JAR, was that you with the eloquent response near the end of all those comments, or was that a case of identity theft?

This was my favorite comment:
"By Refump on January 31, 2011 10:49 AM Anyone ever send this guy a note critical of his writing? Sports writers are great at ctiticising, but are HORRIBLE at taking criticism." I would love to know what "ctiticising" is. ;) |
That's when something's really bothering someone so much they need to get it off their chest

Is This Fallout From The Tim Donaghy Situation ???
"As an official, you can't go into a game, any game, with an agenda, other than to do the best job possible".
"It is apparent some refs have an agenda. It may be subconscious but it is obvious nonetheless". I give up. For the life of me I don't know of any officials having agendas other than to do the best job possible, especially in high school varsity games. Maybe, in some low level games, we get a few guys who want to get in, get out, and get paid, but that's the exception, not the rule. Just what agenda are they blogging about? Are they implying that some of us are cheating? If so, I can feel my shirt ripping ... http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbn...c481284c1107f1 |

Are there bad officials? Sure there are, just like there are bad coaches, players, doctors, salesmen, welders etc. It's been my experience that the bad ones don't last very long and that those of us who stick around awhile try very hard to improve and achieve excellence. To me that is the real beauty of officiating, being able to do a difficult task that most would be afraid to try, and to work well together as a crew and call a great game. People that have never worn a whistle don't understand what goes into it and never will. |
