If you do not want to do it I am OK with that, but not just because we take our eyes off the players when we have to do that a lot in this sport.

If you asked me when the most extracurriculars happen I'd probably say during or at the end of long TD plays.
Yes, there are times we *need* to look away from players. This is not one of them.
