Thread: And So It Begins

Time to engross myself in the rule book for the next several months in preparation for the upcoming season. The ironic part is that I'll still be accused of not knowing the rules as soon as I make a call somebody disagrees with.

Some calls you can't win (holding, interference, catch/no catch, in/out of bounds). Somebody is going to see it differently no matter how right you are.

Are you blind?!

"Get off your knees, ref, you're blowing the game"

Come on, people have gotten pregnant from less contact than that, REF!

Ref needs to get a wife so he'll stop screwing us.

Well, I actually got death threats from parents during a JV game. Hahahaha. As for funny, several years ago I was working a varsity game in a small town and my sideline was on offense. The game was coming to a close and my sideline was winning. As they were lining up getting ready to snap the ball a defensive lineman jumped into the neutral zone and the WR close to me moved so I threw a flag. Of course the coach wanted me to call it on the defense, but I explained to him that the WR couldn't react to the DL because he wasn't "threatened." The coach, totally deadpanned, "You don't know that kid. He's not very brave and easily threatened." I started laughing right there on the sideline and the coach winked at me.
