Well, I hate the Fox 40 Classic! So there!

And my patent leather shoes aren't hot either!

Some of you guys have some strange idiosyncrasies.

It's called personal preference.

I use Fox40 classics for basketball and CMGs for football. I can't stand having the CMG whistle in my mouth all the time. I'm good for about one CMG whistle a football season and I guess about two basketball season for a Fox40 whistle. I bit through my last one at the end of the season, I guess I chew on them too much.

Love the 40 CMGs...

This just in....THEY ARE CHEAPER THAN AN ORDER OF WINGS AT FRIDAYS!!

No repair..just use 3 rotated and they will last a few seasons. When they fall apart...pitch and buy some new ones.

I do wish they would use black rubber as opposed to the "clear" rubber.

Is that an idiosyncrasy?

Probably.

I have enough Fox 40s in my bag to last the rest of my career, probably. Every clinic/camp I go to gives me a whistle. Gee, thanks.

I tried using an Acme Thunderer metal whistle for football and I didn't like it. Had to blow it out of the front of my mouth to get good sound out of it, and I was too used to a Fox 40 from using one for so long. So I gave those away.

I use the Fox 40 Classic and have used the same one for the last 5 years. Run it through the dishwasher every once in a while and it's fine (yes, carry a backup in games and have never had to use it). I tried the CMGs and didn't care for it at all.
