I guess we have different philosophies on how the game should be played and what we should and should not be calling. I do not look for that one in a lifetime occurrence on the field, I look for the spirit of the rules and the integrity of good sportsmanship. Slapping the snap is BS and needs to be called.

My philosophy is - call a foul when you see it. Don't assume.
If you'd rather call fouls according to your gut then by all means, go ahead.
