Call on the court = Block. Your opinion?

JRutledge: I apologize for making light of this. Even veteran Forum members can have a difficult time figuring out who the real good officials are on this Forum versus average, or poor officials. Some Forum members can "talk the talk, and walk the walk", others can just "talk the talk". And that's all we do here, is talk. Many of us who have been on the Forum for any length of time may sometimes disagree with you, but I'm sure that most of us realize that you are an official who can probably "walk the walk".

Rookie Forum members have absolutely no idea who can really "walk the walk". Not a clue. I thought for sure that when the new poster "called you out" that you would tear him to shreds, but you didn't, you're too polite, too patient, and too respectful. So it really wasn't very entertaining.

Maybe 7IronRef will eventually earn our respect, after we all get to know him better. Maybe, someday, he'll become an esteemed member, and then we will all look back on this and have a good laugh.

If Jurassic Referee had been around? Now, that would have been entertaining.

Billy,

You are right, if JR was here and a few others, he would have been called a lot more than what I said here for sure. And even if he caught me 7 or 8 years ago I might have done the same. If I have realized anything by this we are kind of in this together. We disagree as we are supposed to disagree. As I said before I use video at one of my association's meetings all the time where I am President, I would get part of the room say one thing and the other saying another. And many would not back down because they see one thing in the video and others see something else. And since I am wrong on one of the plays, it would not be the first time nor the last. Anyone that has been officiating for any length of time knows that.

Peace
