For me, rec league or no, the "F" gets him a generic T. The "you" upgrades it to a flagrant.

I'd eject him without much thought or fanfare. No way I'm taking that -- anywhere.

Agreed. And ANY official who doesn't toss a player that behaves like that is doing a disservice to anybody working games in that league in the future.

For you newbies - this is why we call these games "wreck league".

So, if someone says, "Have a nice day," do I say, "Hey!"

No. Sometimes we need some fanfare. Too bad the NFHS doesn't give us the "heave ho" signal, like they have in baseball.

That hasn't stopped me from using it. Official or not, it leaves no doubt as to what just happened.

An F--- you gets a ticket punched in my not so little corner of Southeast Texas.

So? The good people that live in the southeastern corner of Texas actually call it Southeast Texas? It's not called Houstonland? Interesting. Very interesting.

Well there's Houston, which covers a pretty large swath of area and then there's Southeast Texas which includes areas outside of Houston.

Thanks for this video. It has been around for a couple of years now and it never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Having a moderator say to Mark T. DeNucci, Sr., "You Are Gone", after one of his lengthy posts, as he goes down memory lane, now, that would bring a smile to my face.

+1

For me, FU is the succinct superlative of the cuss-out, reserved for those you wished dead. Easy flagrant.
