Performance, mostly. Does the fanboy in you still come out, or are you more patient with your teams that aren't playing to potential?

All officiating has done has made me less tolerant of whining about calls. Other than that if a player stinks they stink. If they are good they are good in my mind.

Peace

It's made me more critical of television announcers.

I just hope my mother was wrong about my eyes sticking up there when I roll them.

+ 2. For example. Last night attending a local semi-pro baseball game with my family. Questionable call @ 1st base results in batter and base coach both ejected from game. I notice my spouse appluading along with other home teams fans. (home team playera and coach ejected). I asked her why she is condoning unsporting behavior. She of course had no good answer, and I gave my opinion on the subject. I got the "rolling of the eyes" and I let it drop.

I guess more critical...too many people use officiating as a scapegoat and I've gotten away from that line of thinking since I started officiating.
