I think it's Cardinal, or whoever had all the AAU games at the complex up there.

I know yes I do get a kick out of other people bragging about themselves getting to officiate a top high school team or something along those lines. But really am I the only one that gets told these things? It just annoys me to hear others bash the fellow officials. Especially if you have to work with this guy hs,rec,or whatever. I know it is offseason but by me there is a lot of work still going around with aau, adult leagues, rec ball, and anything in between! Anyway I can not be the only one in this situation!

Is your friend M&M in this organization?

There are many in the officiating avocation who seem to enjoy criticizing others. These officials tend to be insecure with how their career is progressing and find the need to pick everyone's game apart in order to make themself feel better about their lack of success, etc.

I choose NOT to associate myself with those indivdiuals. Just remember, it is easy to get all of your calls right from the stands. Not so easy when you are in the heat of battle.
