ah...yeah.....it was. My comment was softball umpire, or any other sports official, can easily get into a rut by working the same sport (let me say that again, SAME SPORT) continuously. Diversity is a good thing and I love getting new umpires who work other sports because they have, at least, some sense of an official's life. Of course, the biggest thing is getting them to forget the other sport.

I have two DI asst. baseball coaches looking to start working some softball. I've already told both that their first hurdle is to forget baseball (like that is going to happen).

In your Super Bowl dreams.....er, wait a minute. I guess I'll be pulling for the St Louis, er, Arizona Cardinals next week. After all, you have a Fightin' Blue Hen alum on that team.

But, I'm not THAT old... just a tidbit of information from one of the deluge of stories about the upcoming game...

They were the Chicago Cardinals thru 1959; speaking personally, that's not so old (50 years ago!!).

I think there are a fair number here at least that old, and Mike, if you aren't there yet, I'm betting you're awfully close.

I'm older than that, but it doesn't mean I was actually paying attention to or was even aware of professional football at the time.
