We had one during a BIG game last seasom. Home team goes ahead by 4 with maybe a minute left in fourth. Kick-off is TB. A is moving the sticks fairly well, using clock well, then drive starts to stutter at B's 40, after a running play, A then runs a pass play(clock about 10 seconds). QB rolls left toward his sideline and then intentionally ground it, R tosses hanky...A coaches go ape-crazy, fans too. R starts clock on snap, A gets play off, everybody heading for EZ, horn sounds, ball falls incomplete, game over. We meet at exit tunnel, fans are livid bout the call, yelling and cursing...we get to our little parking area and R says, "good thing I didn't judge intentional clock stoppage, by A for the grounding"

YES, good thing, we'd still be trying to escape!!!!!
