While I was happy that the ESPN crew chose to compliment Johnny Grier, 
I'm afraid I didn't understand the reason given. I see very little 
difference between the way Grier handles the game and the way other NFL 
refs handle the game. Cause when you talk about how the ref handles the 
game (as opposed to the calls the ref makes), I really can't see much 
difference through the TV set -- most of the time you don't see the ref 
until he is making an announcement, you don't see the rest of his 
handling of the game. In fact, the biggest difference I see is that some 
refs are more verbose than Grier was last night. Is that what Mike 
Patrick meant?
