Checks And Balances ...
I know. Thanks. You're one of the "checks" that "balances" me.
Watch my posts today, I'm really going to try to stay on topic, but it will be "one day at a time".
Not counting this response...

Coach Tendencies ...
Our interpreter just discussed the "clean slate" issue at our meeting on Sunday. He discouraged us from "keeping one in our pocket".
Truth is, pregame conversations often include topics of team...

Pulp Fiction On The Forum ...
Agree. I post and then I reflect. I should reflect and then post. Saying I agree doesn't mean that I can do it, but at least I agree with you, and can try.
I'm Irish, I love to talk, which in the...

Slow Down ...
But it may slow me down. I do read everybody's posts. And such posts may not be posted in vain. I do occasionally need a friendly (or not so friendly) reminder to back off a little (or a lot).

See What I Did There ...
If somebody is, just type a bunch of asterisks to let us know.

Lots Of Choices ...
While it's nice of you to pay so much attention my posts, enough to actually read them, and count them, but I'm sure that it's been more than two days, probably as far back as my retirement back in...

Everything, either relevant, or irrelevant would have been missed by those online in the intervening thirty minutes. In this specific case of attempting a quip, nothing important. But once the first...

No Late Additions ...
No. I actually did that, but then realized that if anyone had already read my earlier post and then moved down the line, they wouldn't see my edit. I've learned not to make any additions to one's...

Whack ...
I once had a high school varsity game where a habit-wearing Catholic nun was the assistant coach.
Remembering the Saint Anselm story, I couldn't wait to bang her.

A Clerical Collar Wearing Catholic Priest ...
Back in the day, one of our college guys ejected the Saint Anselm College team chaplain. He ejected a clerical collar wearing Catholic priest.
As an additional penalty to the ejection, the team...

My skin is a little thicker, I would have waited for the grade and tape comment, and then the technical foul would come "fast as lightning", with a possible "finger breaker" signal.

Agree. But sometimes when we're pissed off we say things that we shouldn't. Experienced officials should be able to control that, but sometimes stuff slips out. We're only human.
