Check out this month Referee Magazine. If you look real hard you’ll see one of our very own board regulars has been published. Congratulations Mike. YOU DA KIND!

REPLY: Under the "Your Call" feature, REFEREE asked "What's the best job in officiating and why?" Mike answered, "Football umpire because you have to be a combination of good psychologist, communicator, and coordinator...and it's the closest thing to running with the bulls at Pamplona."

Smile Thanks guys!

I did not receive my issue yet... I better send in my dues!

When I was in high school my best friend Myles and I were big Ernest Hemingway fans. We must of read "The Sun Also Rises" at least a dozen times. It was our dream to go to Spain and run with the bulls, drink wine, and wear berets. Perhaps someday...

Uncle Ernie Hemingway was a big inspiration to me in my formative years. I always remembered his definition of courage as "grace under pressure". This really applies to football officiating.

Its just an honor and a pleasure to be associated with a great game and most importantly a great group of guys such as yourselves.

Would Mike travel east or west to get to Spain from "way over there"?

Smile Let's all sing along!

Good question!

Well I've never been to Spain.

But I kind of like the music...
