And, I hope you are not as a big of a pompous *** and as degrading of a jerk to your umpires as you are on this forum and other forum. Maybe next time I'm around certain folks who know you, I'll ask em. You cant possibly be as bad as you treat umpires on this forum and have worked your way up as high as you did; even as a big fish in a very little pond. IMO you should be ashamed of yourself at how you represent your umpires here and elsewhere online; but you are so arrogant, you arent. I represent me, a lowly up and coming umpire . You represent an entire state and all of their hard work.

Mike, wade, with all due respect, you're both losing everyone's respect around here for this bickering. In all honesty, I would greatly appreciate it if you would just go outside, knock yourselves silly for an hour, get it out of your systems and buy each other beers afterward.

Frankly, I expect better from both of you.

If your goal is to get all umpires in lock-step, drop the price. You'll gain much more interest in the product, and the knowledge (and hopefully the consistency!) will spread faster.

I don't get the complaint about the price.
Less than the fees for 2 games in my association( for the Plate Umpire DVD and the Case Book + shipping) and fully deductible as an expense for the IRS.

Returning from 10 days off line, I saw the length of this thread and immediately thought, "Mike and Wade must be at it again."

Agreed...as a matter of fact, it's so good, I wish I had thought of it!

*takes a small bow*

Opportunity was there, so I took it. I'm surprised it hadn't been said before, as it was just TOO perfect.

I even briefly considered the possibility that Mike and wade are actually one and the same person, presenting opposite viewpoints until somebody catches on to the joke.

Conspiracy theories...I love it!

Went to the NC ASA state clinic today, and our clinician made use of the DVD. Excellent production job. Man, I wish I'd had this DVD many years ago...
