FIFY

Faking an injury is no more cheating than holding and not getting caught, trapping a ball and pretending you caught it or laying on the ball until the ref makes you get off of it to run more seconds off the clock because you know your team can't get another 1st down against the defense.

There is a 40 second play clock. You are allowed to snap the ball at any point, whether 1 second in or 39 seconds in, as long as the ball is marked ready for play. If you aren't going to get mad at a team and call it "cheap" for them to run the play clock to zero before snapping, you can't get mad at them for snapping it as fast as possible.

Neither are cheap. If your retarded arse players and coaches can't get set, that's their fault and a lack of preparation. It's not about manliness, it's about strategy.

This is as ridiculous as a spread team crying about you just lining up in 2 TE sets and running it down people's throats. "Wah, wah, they have to bully us with brute strength because they can't run as fast as we can or be as creative as we can."

When have you ever seen offsides penalty against someone who couldn't get to their side of the ball before a snap? You haven't. So what are you really complaining about?

That it is too confusing for them? Well lets ban reverses, counters and fake field goals.

That it makes them too tired? We should shorten the game to 3 quarters.
