The Temple Bar - No Mo' Drama.....UYMFA!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lila64]

In response - when no one has possession. Then the rule does not apply. We got that called on us. It was frickin' ridiculous. I'm always watching for the 3 second violation. The team we play tomorrow (tonight) has 2 stars, and the rest are filler, I do believe. I think they are weak on rebounding, and luckily we have that going for us. Now we just have to make our shots & the easy lay-ups.

Wow.

I'm a basketball ref. I hope, for the most part, that I don't suck.

 

[No spoken words]

You probably do suck, though.

 

[phillyfan26]

Most likely, unfortunately.

 

[No spoken words]

Here's my advice:

Lay off of the charge/blocking calls unless it's patently obvious.

 

[phillyfan26]

Generally, that's good advice.

Coaches usually only bitch to me for not making enough calls, though. It's amazing how many think a contested shot must be a shooting foul.

 

[No spoken words]

Coaches are people, and so, they're going to bitch about whatever you do. Sad fact. Call too many fouls? They'll complain. Not enough? Complaints. Thankless gig, being a ref.

 

[phillyfan26]

Except for, you know, the money.

The Wire: Season One: Episode 4: Best written hour of television I have ever had the privilege of watching.

Not the same kind of bitching, though.

It's been so long ago for me, so I do not recall the content of each episode.....however, you could apply that title to many episodes......glad you're digging it, it's awesome. Even Lord Douche liked it.

Still thankless. The $$$ is not a thank you. Not saying not to do it, you should do as much of it as you can. I did some softball umpiring when I was in college and it was odd to play a few nights a week but ump another.....liked the extra $$$ from it, in top of my retail gig, though.

The thing that impressed me about the episode is that nothing dramatic happened it is just well written.

 

[Dalton]

When I ump: the more a coach yells, the longer I take to make my calls. Boy does that piss them off.

I assume you're posting that because the Network that originally aired it, whose bug appears in the upper right did a magnificent job of capturing this?

Why, yes, of course.

 

[Dalton]

NSW, are you with the Big 10 network?

It's insanely well written. I tell you Dalton, choosing to watch this series was one of the best decisions you'll ever make....as it pertains to the world of entertainment, of course.

 

[No spoken words]

Huh? What gives you that impression?????

 

[No spoken words]

Why, yes, of course.

Yes, just checking.

 

[U2democrat]

Morning bar

I actually slept until 11. That was nice.

 

[Dalton]

Huh? What gives you that impression?????

Mostly cause I didn't go to college and don't know my right from left.

Should I take that as a 'no' or do you not share this info?

 

[Dalton]

BTW - Bubbles is one of the best characters ever.

 

[U2democrat]

Bubbles the powerpuff girl?

I usually prefer to specifically refer to it in a PM or something, rather than it living forever in a thread. You're not premium, cos you did not go to college and thus your earning potential is poor. All that being said, yup, I do perhaps maybe work there.

 

[phillyfan26]

Television series I haven't watched that make me feel like I'm missing out list:

The Wire
BBC Office
Lost

 

[No spoken words]

They're all great. Stringer Bell ranks up there for me.

 

[U2democrat]

I don't know about The Wire but BBC Office and Lost definitely

Do you want to spend 45 minutes bashing the shit out of Comcast with me?
