Just think about this for a second!
We as officials hear some pretty strong comments about the way we call our game from the players, coaches, and fans. Some fans may even say things that are very personal.. For the most part we tune them out, we have to....It comes with the territory. Some people even strive on it.....The energy that it gives us......But here is my observation.....when people are posting on the board and either disagree, are sarcastic....joke about something.....We go from these thicked skinned officials....to wet paper bags......Thoughts, comments....and I will try not to take it personal!!!!! AK ref SE |
I really enjoy reading the postings on this board. We must, however, take all of them with a grain of salt. When an answer is based strictly on the rule book, it can be very enlightening. At times comments here are based on judgement, personal preferences, regional trends and customs, or even individual biases. These types of postings are less valuable but equally as interesting to me because it gives me an idea of how other officials in different parts of the country look at things. We are the sum of our experiences and this information is also helpful. Keep them all coming!

The "heated" discussions which come up occur because we all feel so passionately about what we are doing...nothing wrong with that...the only ones I have problems with is when the Yankees and Red Sox fans get going at each other - and that's only because I hate both teams...

He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!! BTW, AK ref SE, I'm glad to see you have a sense of humor because earlier today I almost wrote that I love Canada because without it there would be nothing between New York and Alaska. Not that I would ever write something like that...not me... |

As long as Python is the topic (loosely):
I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough water. I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries. |

You don't frighten us, English pig-dog! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your silly English kiniggets. |
I actually have the two CD set of Python's best stuff. Hours of material for warped minds.

Hmmmmm-
We do not have Shoe laces up here in Alaska they stick to the floors of our igloos....Wait now I remember there was an Editorial Comment back in 1963 That the Supreme Court ruled that if we had Rubberbands we could use them instead of shoe laces and it would be okay. 28 Foot line, In Alaska that is our Division Line.
