What do players do that makes no sense?

Camron,
That's one of my favorite segments of all movies I've seen.
Thanks for the memory.

What's wrong with being sloppy? The question I really have is why does the NF care about these things, except when they are safety issues? I suspect that NF thinks it's somehow a sportsmanship issue, that players who want to reflect their individuality are trying to intimidate or visually trash talk others.

Why does the NFL care about their players having uniformity? Saftey? Nah...Its so these millionaires can run around and actually look like a TEAM. Once in awhile you will see a player with his shirt untucked or a sock down...but you can rest assured he will be fined. The NFL has "uniform police" that watch for uniform infractions at each game. The officials don't have to worry about it.
Wouldn't it be nice if the NF could afford these "uniform police"? Since they can't...we as officials must enforce the non-sloppiness.
Again, I think basketball should be about the TEAM...if you want to stand out, do something spectacular on the court.
If you want individuality...sing Karoke or something.
BTW...I bet some of us remember when we played for a team in school and the dress code we abided by...remember, letterman jackets...ties...etc.

Does the poll respondant get to specify who adminsters the hug?

I'll let tomegun decide on that rule. Tom, who chooses the hugger?

[tomegun]

I don't care who gives the hug. I don't think a poll on this board would be an accurate way to decide who gets the hug though. I have the perfect way to decide but I don't think Rainmaker will agree to it.

Has anyone ever met a referee that really cared if a number on a shirt was less than 3/4" wide?

Yes!!

The uniforms our rec department bought for intramural play have numbers only on the front, and the digits are less than an inch tall. Very difficult to see - especially when you just T'd a player and now have to get his number.

I always thought the girls folded the waistband of the shorts over so that the tag wouldn't rub and irritate them, since it is now on the outside.

Of course, if the shirt is tucked in, they shouldn't have this problem . . .

The extreme of waistband-rolling has to be at my school. The bookstore sells shorts that are designed so that, when the waistband is flipped, the tag and name of the school show right-side up.
