Officials heckling officials

[grunewar]

I've had one game where a few refs from another Association were let's say "overly rambunctious." Pissed me off. Jerks!

Had one Friday night complaining about the "82" fouls we had called. And how long it was taking to play the game. I was thinking, "First, if those idiots would stop fouling, we would stop calling them. Second, if they shot better than 3 for 30 at the line, they would stop fouling. Third, if we DIDN'T call them, then we would have been letting kids get hurt out there. And, fourth, what a jerk, I hope word gets back to his assignor."

The guy was from another association. My partner indicated since overtures had been made to the school by his assn, that it would be best to not make waves.

Just tonight, in fact. A um....friend....yeah, friend, of mine was at a minor league hockey game sitting close enough to hear the players cursing at each other. My friend may have gotten a little too into the game and may have yelled at the linesman a little bit after one of the visiting players essentially sat on a home team player and held him down on the ice.

My...friend...now feels guilty and has to go to referee penance.

This is in addition to my Catholic duty.

A guy and his girlfriend were making out on the couch. Things were getting pretty hot and heavy when, all of a sudden, he pulled back and stopped. She said, "What's wrong?" He said, "I really can't, honey. It's Lent." She said, "Oh, OK......wait - to who and for how long?"

My Catholic joke is that "for Lent, I am giving up abstinence."

I find it embarrassing when I am watching a game, either as a fan or at a game before or after one that I work, and I see someone I know to be an official yelling about calls. They're the moral equivalent of scabs, and where I come from that's as low as you get.
