Motivated...Inspired...Amused...and Ready to Vent(*)

(there's a funny video at the end...hehehe)

A few posts [ago], I talked about the new "ADM", and I look at such stuff from the eyes of somebody who wants to really make changes in development of hockey referees.  There was a chance in those [posts] to sign up for a series of videos on how "My USA Hockey is Different from Yours".

That's the God's honest truth.  Nothing could mean more to me at this point going forward than righting a ship that seems to veer off course.  I proposed such action as "overhauling" the referee development world, and got the blessing from the Pope, the Bishop, and was even told to go light candles in my local parish for the "Good Ol' Boy Network", because they will be a dying breed (kind of like those 'Wiseguys' do in mob movies -hehehe).

What in the heck does all of this mean for you?

Well...if you are a "Good Ol' Boy", it is means you will be finished.  Kind of like Dan "the Common Man" Cole of KFAN, going off on how all of the competition in Major League Baseball is done, now that the MN Twins will sweep this weekend (toungue planted firmly in cheek).

Don't know the 'Common Man'?...Imagine you scream the team nickname, and me screaming the response.  Here goes:

Red Sox!....washed with a color-unsafe bleach!

Orioles!......de-habitated

Yankees.....Beaten by the South!

Blue Jays....Hawked!

Rays...........avenged by the "Crocodile Hunter" fans!

White Sox...Stained!

Royals........flushed!

Indians.......mistakenly labeled because Columbus thought he was going to India!

Tigers........de-clawed!

Angels.......demonized!

A's............moved to the end of the alphabet!

Mariners....lost at sea!

Rangers.....re-assigned to Border Patrol duty!

Marlins......blackened and served with rice pilaf!

Mets.........rural-ized!

Braves......coward-ed!

Phillies......Cheesesteak-ed!

Nationals..deported!

Cubs........tranquilized

Cardinals..demoted to Altar Boy!

Pirates......sunk!

Astros......Apollo I-ed!

Brewers...prohibitioned!

Reds........persecuted by McCarthy-ism!

Dodgers...Chevy-ed!

Rockies....foothill-ed!

Giants......dwarfed!

Padres.....translated!

D-Backs..made into Cowboy Boots!

"THEY'RE ALL DEAD!  NOTHING'S GOING TO STOP US NOW!" (IALTO)

Seriously, back to hockey...I was watching some tryout scrimmages last night, evaluating some local hockey referees, and I saw a Girls U12 and Bantam B tryout.  Some of these kids were "cooking with gas!"  It was fun...and it got me wondering, "Why don't more refs want it bad?!?"

I mean, I set up a Fitness Contest and I wonder why more people don't want to come out and just destroy the competition?!?  Does my brain have bad wiring?  Was I neglected as a child?  Was I raised by wolves?  I wonder stuff like this because I want to beat everyone in a competition....maybe I am unhealthy.  I don't know.  I thought I was like this guy:

Well, maybe you can help me...click on that link up there at the top to see my why "My USA Hockey is Different from Yours" on how I want to take as many hockey referees to Bigger and Better games as possible, doing it 'Herb Brooks-Style' (Caution: it will contain some adult content...it will be my attempt at seriousness and humor all-in-one...I will light a candle for myself when I go to my local parish while I am lighting candles for the "Good Ol' Boy" Network...stay tuned).
