My guess is we'll learn from him how the NCAA and NBA are rigged as well.

Well the football guys kind of exposed your lack of knowledge. Watching games on TV gets you no points towards passing any rules test.

But it does let you have a opinion on other imortant parts of the Super Bowl.

Polls show the Budweiser Ads, Fetch and Clydesdale, finished one-two in popularity. You agree?

I liked Alec Baldwin for Hula and the Gossip Girl for Cheetos.

Let me guess, you could relate to the guy under the moose in the one for
Monsters.com?

I had money on Taco Bell for funniest ad. I think the polls are rigged for Budweiser, though.

Yeah, the "football guys" really showed me. Defend the NFL guys at all costs really put me in my place.

I guess playing football and being successful at it means I don't know anything about it.

Billy Packer was a pretty successful college basketball player. What does he know about officiating?

Theismann was a pretty good player. I wouldn't want him explaining the rules.

Joe Morgan was a pretty good baseball player. He's another that doesn't have a clue about the rules.

Shall we go on?

One of the funniest things an official can hear is when someone tells you they used to play the game and therefore they know the rules. LOL.

That's exactly right. Officiating isn't playing. Coaches and players all the time have no clue about the rules but think they have standing to argue them "cause they play."

How about this one, heard from an irate mom after an 6th grade AAU bb game. "My brother used to play for the Celtics, I know the rules."

Perfect example - Anyone remember Donovan McNabb's being surprised that a game can end in a tie?

Yeah, players - past and present - are all rules mavens.

You've got to include Tim McCarver in this list.

This list would be like an Oscar acceptance speech. There's just too many to mention.
