We all can come up with examples of those that "fit the bill", but without knowing them, their motivations, why they officiate, their officiating experience and education, then any comments about them is just an assumption(and we know what that means, right?)

I know of officials who would probably work for free (enjoy the power, maybe?), but are slobs, have poor mechanics, ect. I also know others who are very good, I'm happy to work with them, but loudly complain off field about pay, # of mtgs to attend, ect.
The people I had in mind have flat out said to me, "I'm in it for the money." Verbatim. And it's these individuals who screw it up for the rest of us. Coincidence? Not at all.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Blechh. At least they're honest about it. Just keep them away from me because I think some of them work in my area too.
