but I very much agree w your pt that Rod has clearly mellowed on us over the years (presuming our cantankerous fans don't reignite some of his past misgivings about us).

And I also agree with your gracious take on his professional position in calling that game. Of the two most egregious comments I remember him making "against us" last night — he backed off of both of them almost immediately. Iows --to put it in Mormon terms-- he REPENTED.

So call me frustrated & flabbergasted by the reaction of too many of our fans last night & today regarding Rod & his announcing. The fact some have gone to twitter & targeted Rod with their "outrage" is truly regrettable, imo.
