I said, you're right, it isn't the NFL.
Other than that, very smooth, nothing too major. I'm finding that using the intent rather than the letter of the rules makes the game smoother. My only issue was the coaching box. They were in it, but not interfering with me or the play. Only once did I do the "sideline bump" into a coach. I'm a big guy, he's a big guy. Next time I came to the line, everyone's saying, "back up, he'll take you out."
Oh, the love of the game. 10 weeks to go.

We had a DPI call that the L nailed. Defender arrived early and banged into the receiver before the ball arrived. Home coaches were yelling and all I could think as I was about to announce the penalty was that they'll change their minds if they ever watch the film.
