More on the A-11

For all the wailing, shouting, threatening and begging that happens on sidelines all over, not very many considered rulings ever get changed. Desparate and stubborn people will do what desparate people do, not matter how unsuccessful all their finagaling is.

As has been observed long ago, many times over, those responsible for the rules of the game must be painfully aware of this controversey and are expected to respond to it, one way or the other. That decision is expected shortly, and one side or the other, will likely be unhappy with the decision.

There may be resulting wailing, shouting, threatening and begging, but it will likely suffer the same fate as all the "noise" that periodically rises from different sidelines. To paraphrase an old saying, "When "noise" from a sideline is simply ignored, does it make any sound?"

When long winded self indulgent posts are written that really have no point or anything of value to add to the discussion are ignored, will they continue to be written?

It always amazes me how some people can stand neck deep in water and not realize they are all wet.

Gee, I hope you're that quick on the field, Rich. Sometimes "long winded" can pose a problem, but responses that lean towards short and stupid have their own down side as well.

If it can't be said quickly, it has little value to most of the people listening.

That only applies when you're speaking to people with really short attention spans. You ever stop to wonder why God designed us with two ears and only one mouth?
