You really want to start about Ahmad Carroll and officiating? There's too much potential for guffaws, don't you think?

Maybe he finally wants to learn what pass interference is.

I wish he would have gone to the "How not to be a Dumbass Academy" when we drafted him in '04.

How is he going to be able to throw a penalty flag wearing "boxing gloves" ? Mike Sherman had him practice with them on to try to get him out of the habit of grabbing people. Sherman was the worst GM in team history, not only with draft choices but free agents as well. Good thing Harlan stipped him of his duties. In all fairness he was a solid NFL and college coach but the best way to describe his GM capability was that he could not spot a QB at a Manning family reunion.
