Don’t Like My Red Card? Let Me Grab My Gun …
Books, NFL, Soccer December 27th. 2007, 12:58pm
Only in Kuala Lumpur, people. Yup, that’s how it went down. Ref issues a red card. The players mob him. So the ref sprints to his car and grabs his gun. (Seems like a good time to mention this: he’s a part-time police officer.) Then, he fired a few warning shots in the air to scare off the angry natives. Order was restored and a few people were arrested.
The way Jim Quirk took down Nick Barnett of the Packers last weekend, it kind of makes you wonder – if Barnett had gone off on Quirk and things were getting dicey … does Quirk make a move for his gat? Is this going to be a hot trend in 2008? Referees carrying weapons?

i didn’t know there were part time cops. is he like a volunteer sheriff’s deputy like dwight schrute?
anyway being a soccer ref, people go nuts over the ref. in a playoff game i recently played in, the team of Jamaican gentlemen we played were pretty much chasing after the ref based on correct calls he made that went against their team. and this was WITH the league commish at the field. and i’ve heard first hand stories of parents assaulting referees at their car after a game. looks like i might have to pick up a piece for my next game to set the tone.

Great Schrute reference. Got seasons 1 and 2 of the Office for xmas and I’m about four episodes into the first season. Great, great stuff.

what is gexo? if it entertains me for even 30 seconds, ill die happy.
see, that’s why soccer is worthless. the game is defined by a VOLUNTARY lack of scoring despite the net being the size of a trailer, disputes over officiating and general pussiness abound (see: flopping).
if the US didn’t say, “fuck that shit, we’re making our own football.” then the rest of the world wouldnt be so attached to it.

well, TBL, don’t rush through The Office, since who knows when new ones are gonna be comin our way. but you can see all of what is out on season 4 online at nbc.com when you get that far, which if you follow the same pattern as me for watching the dvd’s, will prob be next week.
