I've had 2 ever. The first was in my 10th game or so, and was just like yours. Half-hearted timid whistle that I knew was wrong as soon as I blew it. Got the same speech, "If you blow it, BLOW it." etc.
The second was last Saturday. PW game, offense down by 2 TDs with seconds to go. Dive play up the middle, runner hits the pack, bounces out, sweeps right as I follow, and gets tackled. Blow the whistle. OOOOOPS - my guy didn't have the ball. Apparently they'd practiced this numerous times, and when he hit the pack, he handed it back to the QB, facing away from the defense, who just stood there.
He was free and clear to the EZ when I blew it. I felt AWFUL - but it would have been worse had they been down by just 1 TD.
We all have them - and hopefully we all learn from them. I know I did.
