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.
Lol at you doing coverage for this semi-pro league. You sure have made it big time. LOL!

Actually no. I hate twinkies. Try again. Nice to see my joke went over your head. I was making fun of myself and the bright society failed to realize this.

LOL! I just read the thread concerning the new rules and boy, did you get called out on that one? Are you still tense from not understanding how you had personal attacks on there?

I already got my warning from wildcats for the first two posts. My last post was a serious question. Are we not allowed to laugh while asking a serious question?

For the record, I derailed this thread on purpose before knowing these new "rules". I promise it will be much more subtle in the future.

You had to accept the rules before you posted.

Did I have to read them? No. I believe I even mentioned in a recent post when I finally read them. Anything else?
