When we were first married, Bonnie Jean made me chew gum when we went to bed.

Really? She tells me I don't need to.

Tried it, can't do it.

I voted "sometimes". I always chew it before the game and during the first half. I spit it out at halftime and don't chew it during the second half. Just a habit I've developed.

[fiasco]

Almost always.

I chew my whistle. Don't think I could manage gum without choking on it.

Fine for pre-game, but come game time, it's a little distracting. I guess what they say about walking and chewing gum is true.

Looks unprofessional IMO to be gnawing on gum while communicating with players and coaches. I don't...but to each his/her own.

I do the exact same thing.

I chew two pieces every game. I pop in one before we take the floor and change it out for a fresh piece at half time. I have found that my game is off without it. I know it is mental but I much rather have a piece in my mouth and feel comfortable and getting the calls right than not having it and feeling out of sorts and kicking a call or two... So I guess you could say it helps me stay in the game for 40 minutes...
