Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: Not a great post to start the New Year. I would have much rather read a post about one of your beloved Ohio football teams. We keep reminding ourselves, and stressing to newbies, to never touch the players, now we know why. There must either be a fine line, or maybe it's a gray area, where beyond the line, or in the gray area, officials are allowed to defend themselves, especially when dealing with a player who is larger than the official, is wearing sharp skates, protective gear, including a helmet and visor, and is holding a large stick in their hand. Difficult situation.

Happy New Year.
