No doubt about it

I'm a long-time coach, and if one of my kids did either of those things and didn't get tossed, the PU wouldn't be backing up what I try to teach, which is show up, shut up, and play. If there's any...

Mind-reader

Wow, Welpe, you must have ESPN!! I just posted to that effect on another thread, so I am impressed. Nobody cares who the umpires are, as long as they get it right.
