Why I Support The NFL Replacement Refs.

I want to register my opinion as soon as possible, before it becomes worthless by the imminent settlement between the Refs' Union and the NFL.

1- Paul Ryan wants the old refs back.

2- Scott Walker wants the old refs back.
The two union busters are just a couple of hypocrites, just because their precious Packers lost a game.

3- Who told the NFL not to train the new guys better? Why blame the new refs?

4- What if all the old refs were going to a refs convention and the plane crashes?
You'd need the new refs anyway.

5- Ten million Latinos are being disenfranchised from voting, and we're caring about a few lousy blown calls?

6- Too many people think they are the old refs. If you dressed them differently, say, in Renaissance Costumes, everyone would have better perspective.
And more forgiving.

7- The old refs made a lot of bad calls too. Maybe not so often, but maybe theee guys are just working out the kinks.

8- What's wrong with "Right-to-work states? Or a "Right to work country"?

9- These men are risking their lives out there. Aren't they entitled to be as brave as our G.I.s in Afghanistan?
Maybe they were turned down for flat feet.
Or poor eyesight.
That's probably more likely.
Not only can they get physically hurt by accident, but some of the players might lynch them.
This could be their only chance for valor for these substitute refs.
So cut 'em some slack.

10- I made some nice money on their blown calls.
Sunday night, when Baltimore got credit for a field goal that they missed, and Monday night, when they handed me the Seattle game.

Actually, you can forget about numbers 1 through 9.
Just number 10 works well enough for me.

See you Saturday.

My books ,"Show Runner" and it's sequel,"Show Runner Two", can be found at the Amazon Kindle Store.
Along with the newer ones, "The Man Is Dead", and "Report Cards".
You can search by typing in my name, Cindy Williams, Laverne & Shirley, The Odd Couple, or Happy Days.
Check them out.
You don't need a Kindle machine to download them.
Just get the free app from Kindle, and they can be downloaded to an IPhone, IPad, or Blackberry.
The paperback, "Mark Rothman's Essays" is still available for people without Kindle.
I have many readings and signings remaining, and the thing about Kindle is you can't sign one.
If you'd like one, contact me at macchus999@aol.com.
And now, we've got my reading of my "Laverne & Shirley Movie" screenplay on YouTube.

About Me

Hi. I am, according to my Wikipedia entry,(which I did not create) a noted television writer, playwright, screenwriter, and occasional actor. You can Google me or go to the IMDB to get my credits, and you can come here to get my opinions on things, which I'll try to express eloquently. Hopefully I'll succeed. You can also e-mail me at macchus999@aol.com. Perhaps my biggest claim to fame is being responsible, for about six months in 1975, while Head Writer for the "Happy Days" TV series, for Americans saying to each other "Sit on it."
