Lol at you doing coverage for this semi-pro league. You sure have made it big time. LOL!Laley23;1170242 wrote:And for the record, to give an idea of how dangerous these leagues are, we were 2 hours into our broadcast with 5 minutes left in the first half. This was due to an injury after almost every 3rd play. 1 guy had already been taken to the hospital and the QB was getting drilled each time he threw.
Jay County had pop warner type helmets, some without inside padding like in NCAA and NFL, and they all had different colored helmets because they had to buy their own (basically, at that point, you assume they bought the cheapest). One guy was in sweatpants, so no leg padding. We were told that they practiced once a week for about an hour and then games on the weekend. Their bodies ARE NOT conditioned for football.
We joked that if the refs didnt go running clock, someone was gonna die out there. The joke turned sad 20 minutes later...It was almost inevitable. Just bad football, and no safety really.

Do I need to check the Warning box too? Or is it just redundant?
And to my surprise, no PM yet.

I think that's redundant. I'll check and make sure next time I'm on a computer.
