Ref said to the crowd...

[number5]

"Don't worry, no flags today!"

[steve dave]

I hope the crowd told him to go eff himself to set the tone

[Pett]

JFC number5, you bring worse news by the day.

[number5]

Don't shoot the messenger.

[Dugout DickStone]

Don't shoot the messenger.

Why not?  Seems logical

[steve dave]

Don't shoot the messenger.

Why not?  Seems logical

If the person isn't there to shoot seems like the closest connection to said person is the messenger who you obviously shoot.

[WillieWatanabe]

look #5, I appreciate the insider info, but this crap better get better. Otherwise, yeah, you need shot.

[AbeFroman]

I would have said "Yeah, but you don't need flags to be a shitty ref in basketball"

You always shoot the messenger and then send your own messenger with the message to the original message sender that you shot the messenger and if they shoot your messenger then you know it's on.

Always more fun to strap a bomb onto the messenger and use him to send a new message back to the original message sender.  Postage Due!

the tall ref was a delight.  winking at the crowd, cracking wise with judge, nudging coaches.  fantastic personality.

[_33]

Short ref seemed like a real dick though.

Precisely.  Also, what if the so-called messenger is actually the person sending the message and he is using the "messenger" tag to hide behind the purported "don't shoot the messenger" rule?  If you ace the messenger in his face, you got both the messenger and sometimes the person stating the message.
