My staffer is in his late twenties and will be wearing a Portland Trailblazer jersey and some shorts.

We've been talking about it and he knows that if he gives me any lip, I'll give him a technical. Oh yeah, I'll have to remember to soak my whistle in some antiseptic mouthwash the night before. Also - I"m giving T's out to anyone who doesn't give us candy.

There's a rumor going around that one of the nurses will be giving out morphine. Now that's a real treat!

When you mentioned uniform..I thought you were talking about DEPENDS

Zay gezunt Mark!

That's about the same as the most popular joke that goes around here:
"Do old men wear briefs or boxers? Depends."

If you think about it, wearing Depends during a game would eliminate the need for the First Rule of Officiating!

Well, it's finally Halloween. I went to put on my uniform this morning and I realized my whistle decided it should fit in with most of the people here. Now I have a Fox 80!
