The CMG (Cushioned Mouth Grip) allows whistles to last much much longer. They're great!

Hate the CMG. I've used the same 2 whistles for 3 seasons now. Teeth marks, yes, but the whistles still work fine.

Remember Ref, when I think he hit me across my wrist like this, you're suppose to blow your whistle.

I'm more likely to lose a whistle than break one.

Since when are you able to tell me what I am more likely to do?

You're right, it was a poor attempt at a joke.

I was actually going to add, later, that we have enough things that we need to conform with; the back and forth on this was just funny.

I used to crack a regular Fox 40 every season. No such problem with the CMG. And I can't afford to lose a 6-8 dollar whistle.

You're more of a chewer than I am. I had a basketball partner have to work with a cracked Fox40 for almost an entire half this past season. He showed me at the quarter break and the only response I could make was to laugh at him.

I got it. And laughed. But maybe that actually proves your point.

There is a new Fox40 whistle coming out that has a black mouthguard.

I have enough whistles to (likely) last the rest of my career. I've used the same whistle for football now for the last 5 seasons.

I go through several whistles in a year. I would never use the same whistle for years, that is just nasty to me. Eventually I would want something clean or more clean to use. With all the times you touch a whistle and a basketball (and in my case football as well) I really do not want to continue using that over that extended period of time.

BTW, I hate the CMG whistles and really do not like to use them.

Peace
