I got hit with the one part of a truck you never should see…..the top of the trailer.

Should be scared of both.
As a former truck driver, I fear the idiots on four wheels far worse.
Like Obama calling a drone strike on Americans?

Careful what you think up.

I threw a rule book at an SEC Official years ago…”Next time you go off half cocked, giving advice, read the rule book first. Your buddy almost got charged with a felony. RULE CHANGE….Two Sheriff’s Deputies on their way to cuff him and arrest him. I called them off.

Not only a rule change starting the game…..but a law change trying to keep the public’s hands off officials…..that included coaches.

Roughing the passer, hit below the knees is a new rule. First year out of committee.

Hint, if a defensive crosses the LOS, which causes an offensive lineman to jump…….I’ll throw the flag all day on the defensive player.

We are at a time out. Defensive Linebacker came over and was kidding about flags. I laughed and told him”35 flags in the first half alone? How about you try this? Stay out of the damned neutral zone?”

4 flags in the second half.

Simple….Never won a Super Bowl.
Whatever they list……

They want someone to pay for them being stupid.
Chicago O’Hare is insane. Delays and cancellations all day. I met and talked with Walter Peyton for over a hour.

Had met Lou Pinella several times in Tampa. Got trapped in a weather delay in Chicago. Two hours, I walk….walked past a bar “Ray! Get your butt in here! Drinks on me!”

We sat and talked for hours.I thought he didn’t remember my introducing myself in Tampa.
I saw the same you did. Only thing I can think of, the defense has an open shot, blocked or not makes no difference.

Have to see a field clinic on how the conference wants it called. Rules change constantly on points of interest each season.
Took my wife to Nashville to sit with Eddie Crook. He told her that she’s got a trained voice. Brother and Sister Gosple trio. Then wanted 10,000 to record her.

“My job is to make you sound great recorded. After that, it’s up to you.”

We decided not to invest. No manager. Thought I would grow rich, watch over the farm and collect the checks.
New rule hot shot. Effective this year. Have to learn to read what comes out of the committee each season.

One or two feet planted, act of throwing. Defender cannot hit passer below the knees. It says “unabated”

Penalty…..Roughing the passer.

Exactly what was called.
In that situation he was in the act of throwing. The hit was below the knees.

Roughing the passer.

Cannot be anymore clear.
Try again….you never read a rule book.
Inside slippers

Guess you had to live there to understand the full rule book.
Ever read the real breakdown on the armed forces of Venezuela?


Worse than a turkey shoot.

About 50 F-16’s…..only three work.
Start a war with who?

Ill equipped revolutionary force using pop guns?

Easier than taking Quebec.
This staff is not the entire problem.

We still don’t have an offensive line and definitely need a QB Coach and receivers coach.

BS they are slow compared to SEC defenses.

Stay in youth football where you belong.
Do you know anything? Or just make crap up?

You can’t hit the QB below the knees in the pocket. They are beauty queens.
