Derock1986:

Just out of curiosity.

1..Does the "1986" note your birth year?

2..Do you not belong to a football officials' association where you learn rules and interpretations?

3..Does the "Derock" describe the condition of your skull?

Derock,

You will never get past youth ball and shouldn't even be there.

1. 1986 note the year I received the golden zebra award for being the best official in 7 states.

2. I write the rules in the association and then host a clinic at $200 a member.

3. Derock describes what I keep in my flag--Derock.

Dumb answers for dumb questions to satisfy dumb people.

Good one, Rock!

Hey, people will help you and yes, we're all learning all the time. I even believe we might be able to learn from you.

The deal is that many of your opinions on things like game sense, are not misguided in and of themselves. It's a combination of not becoming the complete official (rules, game sense, teachability, nonantagonsitic attitude) that put's you at arm's length on this board at times. Also, when the majority of the officials agree on a topic and try to reach you in multiple ways and then you continue to fight them without substance, you've got to reconsider your position. Then, even if you disagree, don't try to change everyone else and blather about game sense as a cure all.

I would suggest that most of the folks on this board understand the need to temper the rules with common sense on the field. But, knowledge of the rules has to come first. Let's focus on the rule application first, and then weave in a little game sense as needed.

Big D, let's all just get along....
