Well the thing with USBC rules, they usually only have authority in USBC sanctioned competitions and not before or after. Since it sounds like scoring hadn't started yet it would be a stretch to actually bring those rules into play.

I moved to Baltimore when the closest teams were the Eagles, Steelers and Redskins. I stuck with the team from the city I was born in, which the Losers shall remaIn nameless in this thread, unless sOmeoNe elSe names them. Even when the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens I stuck with my losers.

There are worse things than being a 'Skins fan though.

I don't think it would be too much of a stretch, actually. Sure, scoring hasn't taken place, but if you are there representing the league, then certainly 115a-1-a does apply. Of course, the idiot could be "put on notice" at the very least.

Erin, while there certainly is no "temperament class" (because I might've failed previously), that's not the point. While I'm glad the USBC is getting more stringent about who can coach in terms of background checks, I also think an incident such as this, while certainly not "absolutely damning" in terms of when it happened, does speak volumes about the person's character. My "attitude problem" isn't towards other people, it's always self-induced because I am a perfectionist and very critical of my own game and abilities. Does it make it right? No. But a drunken rage like that idiot went on, well, there's no excuse for that, either, and you know what they say; alcohol brings out your true personality.

I'll leave it at that.

HEY NOW! Let's don't go there. crying I may have to go off on a rant about the moronic lack of a playoff system in college football.

Yeah, like being a Rams, Raiders, Bengals, or Lions fan. Any of those could be worse.

BTW, anyone else watch the Steelers v. Ravens game? Ouch! seeingstars I've seen very few games that were as hard-hitting as that one.

At what point does one start or stop representing the league for the rule to be enforced?

I'm not disagreeing that something needs to be said to the guy, but trying to use a rule to justify it is a stretch. I think the center management might want to step up to address the situation.

Well I'm a Lions fan, but I was referring to the fans of the bandwagon teams.

I did watch half the of the Steelers/Ravens game, the first half. I was glad to hear the Steelers won in over time.

I was just remarking on the Rams who have lots of talent and now their management is all screwed up. The Raiders who were performing better this year than previous years, in my opinion, despite their record. And now their Head Coach is gone and that is going to affect them. The Lions well, because... actually it's already been discussed and Lions fans can hopefully breath a sigh of relief and look for things to improve. And Bengals fans who have to been dumbfounded. They amount of talent on both sides to the ball, but in particular the offensive side and an 0-4 record. Ouch! it begs the questions, WTF? What happened?
