Parker's First Technical Foul

The dream of an undefeated season died last night. We lost by three points. Here's the killer. What really hurt us was a technical on my son in the fourth quarter. Here's how he got it. The front of his jersey was #24. The back of his jersey was #25. Can you believe that? We've gone the entire season and never noticed it. The ref called a technical and they hit a foul shot that put them up for good with two minutes left. Craziness!

The good news is that Parker had a couple great baskets and our kids played their hearts out. I don't mind losing if we played hard. Alright, I'm lying. I still hate losing. But it makes it a little easier to swallow.

Just tell the ref he's actually number 24.5, but you had a bit of a rounding error!

Be American, sue the uniform company. Minor compensatory but huge potential punitive (mental anguish) damages.
