Why Would you Want to be a Referee?

1.) Seriously, who ARE these people?  Why in the world would anyone ever want to be a referee?  I can’t think of a more thankless job. During these NBA Finals, all I’ve heard is “These refs are calling too many fouls!  Just let them play!”  OK, fair argument. They are calling a ton of fouls.  But then last night, when Kevin Durant goes up for a shot with a chance to tie the game, he gets “fouled” by Lebron, the referee doesn’t call the foul, instead he let’s them play…which is what everyone has been calling for…and now everyone…

Slam Dunking on Some Reindeer

The winter solstice is upon us. Days are officially getting longer from here on out and I have to admit, after losing in not only our fantasy league, but in every other one, I’m about over football (until the playoffs start.)

Random Shallow Thoughts

“To me, clowns aren’t funny. In fact, they’re kinda scary. I’ve wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad” –Jack Handey     Get it, deep thoughts…shallow thoughts?  Clever Thoughts Number One: That NCAA tournament sucked.  The final four was terrible (bitter cause UK lost), UCONN are a bunch of snitchess and Kemba Walker isn’t that good. I’d rather watch back to back to back episodes of John from Cincinnati than have to look at that final match-up again. Number Two: The Phillies…
