@landahoy14 @jessielyneeeeee How do you like the “High Tide!” commercial?

[David Westol @Limberlost1]

@jessielyneeeeee FB officials—at least those who are concerned with propriety—are taught to always wear a black T-shirt under the stripes. White t-shirts are middle school.

Three Ingredients for Effective Performance Leadership https://t.co/ictUqNRXDq A number of humans, including our undergraduates, attempt to use the "Command and Control" approach to leadership. Instead, expect the best from yourself before expecting that from others.

@jessielyneeeeee Agreed, although IND is quiet at this point in time. It’s an “Entitlement” event— “I’m entitled to act like a jerk because it’s Mardi Gras/NYE/spring break/The Eclipse/et al”

@jessielyneeeeee Let’s see. 1) “I thought I did those but I’ll for sure get ‘em tonight” 2) “Dang USPS! They screwed up” 3) “I thought you were handling those!” 4) “ WTH, another day won’t hurt, right?” 5) “Hey, nobody important was in that group” 6) “You got me! What sounds good from Arby’s?”

@garrettpodell Garrett: RE: the article concerning the NFL officiating crew/Lions/Cowboys--it's "Officials", not "Referees" (sic). There is only one referee on an officiating crew--the official with the pale chapeau. Thanks--

@alyssa_gilles4 I tried to develop a narrative that used the ancient, "A broken clock is correct twice a day" for a broken pump but I failed. Let's hope he figured things out before next Monday. In the meantime, good restraint by you.

Scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken" Of course scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics.

@gregrakestraw @CathedralFBall @GiantAthletics @MyINDYtv @IHSAAtv Greg: Just a quick note--there is no "Side Judge" in high school football with five officials on a crew. That is the Line Judge is on the home team sideline; the Head Linesman on the visiting team sideline.

We all want progress. But … if you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case, the person who turns back soonest is the most progressive. C.S. Lewis

“...The Phoenix Syndrome, the mystical bird that became the symbol of rising from your own ashes,” as she reflected on a life punctuated by grief and defeat as well as triumph. “You’ve got to recover from your own ashes, many, many times.” Senator Dianne Feinstein

[David Westol @Limberlost1]

@jessielyneeeeee Just one thing dumber. A football official who attempts to separate two players who are punching each other. Stand back, get out your game card, take careful notes and GET THE NUMBERS. You're being compensated for officiating football, not boxing.
