[The Ref of OZ!!!]

AB, that is the first reasonable explaination of the All But One that I have ever heard. I've been officiating for 13 years, and have yet to hear it explained that way. Good job. It's interesting, I know all those principles, and how the penalties are enforced, but the way you explained it makes more sense.

Of course, I also have no desire to wear a white hat, so usually, when that section is covered during our yearly meetings, I tend to zone out! I'd rather run down the sidelines and talk to the coaches and chain crew, or stand between the linebackers. I leave the white hat duties to the guys who are too fat to run down the sidelines anymore!!!! I know my day is comming, but I'm going to avoid it for as long as possible.
