Okay, I am going to apologize to Luke. I am sorry buddy, I was a little ornery this morning. You caught me before I had my corn flakes.
Luke I am not going to say anything bad about you, as you have endearing qualities. Why the very thought of you makes me hearken back to that piece of literature Of Mice and Men. You remind me very much so of Lenny, a gentle giant of sorts.
Anyhow, I would still like to pull you, though I would rather make it sooner. We should do it next month. You can have Bigwood and Carbone ref the match and there will be no straps used as that would be like taking candy from a baby. We will start (straight) and go, best 3 out of 5. What do ya say sonny?

Oh, and to Opitz, I think your comment about the CT team is rediculous. Ron Klemba, Josh Stark, Eric Stark, Reggie Ward, Ron Ermini, Guy Lasorsa and I would tend to disagree with your assessment of our performances at nationals. We all have some hardware at home. But nice try.
As for Chris Gangi, he can tell you himself that I have been upset with some of his calls in the past that he made against me. And I would have to see him at practice the following week. Trust me, there is a reason we call him firm but fair. The only referees I have met that are comparable are Keith Michel, Dave Hicks, Leonard Harkless, and Gary Wattles.

James, Why not just make this David vs Goliath at my place April 30th. I almost shed a tear because I wasn't included on your "Fair "referee list.  You micht want to check with Mr. Klemba and Mr Bresnan to get their assessment of "Fair referees." Even the Opitz brothers had some complaints after the PA state fair, but in the end they were more than satisfied with the "Fair" officiating. I know you're changing your personal or professional situation right now, but are you gonna make the 26th in MD? It should be a great time. If not definately look toward April 30th at my place. ;D You can bring Pete as long as he doesn't pick on Shrek tooooo much. ;D Keep traing, Jim |

Jim,
You know I love the way you ref.
I can count on consistency, except when you won't allow ME to cheat, I mean get what I want.
However, you can be anal at times, a stickler for detail
I guess that's a good thing, again, except when it doesn't help me!!
Because of you I am training to fight fair... Go figure eh?
I think any ref is crazy to even attempt to give someone the edge in a match. It is inviting trouble.
inpartial, fair and consistent is all one can hope for or expect.
Hope all is well
Be One, Ron

Jim, I do not have a calendar handy, but as long as April 30 is a day I have off, I would be more than happy to pull Luke for the cash.
