Hawkishowl20,

This is the 2nd time I have been involved in a discussion in which you have been flat out disrespectful and arrogant to many of the posters. You are a fan, who acts just as irrational as some fans at sporting events. You do not listen to anything that many quality officials on this site say. You don't even listen when it comes from the horses mouth.

There are no "tags" for the first 63 posts on this topic and then you start in and add the tags "coach mentality, non-officials, official fanboys, pereira worshipers, pig headed." That is so disrespectful to those of us who work very hard to improve our rules knowledge and such on this site. All of your "ugghhh" words make you sound like a little kid and how they sometimes are so immature in an arguement. You should take over as the supervisor of officials in the NFL, cuz you act as if you know more than what he does.

For the second time in the past few months (and the second time ever) I will not again respond to any of your comments regarding this issue because you have lost all credibility of discussing this in a rationale way. I hope my other brethren in stripes will do the same. Maybe we will have a decent discussion in a future post, but I'm done with this one.

Well someone's revealed his true colors...

To be fair, "coach mentality" and "non-officials" were my adds. The others were obviously his in response.

Frankly, I thought they would be more subtle than that and nobody would notice. :)

But, yeah, the poster in question simply does not want to listen. Best to not feed the troll.

hawkishowl20 -- I would change your tone and approach if you want to stick around here. You've been here two months and after reviewing your posts the majority of them seem to be antagonistic and combative.

We get enough grief on the field or the court -- we come here to discuss the games that we all enjoy and to get better as officials.

So, keep it professional and stick around or keep going with the status quo and be ejected.

Not all of the others were his. I added one and it wasn't meant for the majority.

Brad, thanks for taking care of this! Nice edit on his post, too. :D

hello

but one thing was interesting. pereira said clear to the devin hester play he first makes the catch/touch and then the foot goes out of bounds.
but what pereira "forgot" to mention - the call on the play during game 1 year ago was false. bears had fd on the 40y line instead fd on the 3y.

MJT,

So after I am done posting on this topic my post is edited (kind of a childish move.) Then you slander me. (I didn’t add any tags) It’s nice to see that corrected by those responsible and thanks to them. Apparently it is “irrational” to state facts in a most logical manor. Mocking the thought process that leads to a bad call may be “flat out disrespectful and arrogant” to you, but many find it to be “humorous.” Perhaps you could use humility in apologizing for the clear wrong you’ve done.

Hawk,

I edited your post. I thought that was clear along with the warning that I PMed you -- perhaps not.

I don't get involved with a lot of back and forth on the board, but when I see a problem I take care of it. This board's purpose is to provide sports officials and those interested in officiating a place to discuss things amicably. If you can do that you are welcome to stick around. If not, there are plenty of other places for you to post.
