Foul without contact?

Do not miss the point. Pictures are bad examples of just about anything as to what should or should not be called. There is a reason we use video on this site to illustrate many kinds of plays in the first place. At least with video we can see the way things were done and should be called.

And just because Parrot or anyone says they are not using the picture as an exact example, does not mean that everyone including me has to agree with that take.

BTW, one of the moderators took issue with the picture. I just agree with him that it is a bad form to use and one of the pictures did not even show any contact. If you are wrong that is on you at this point.

First - I told you.

Second - please notice the "s" on the end of a$$hats...was never talking about just you.

I had this in a girl's freshman game but I called an intentional foul. She clubbed her opponent in the face using the ball like a weapon. tomegun yelled at me for not tossing her.

Boy y'all get grumpy when your seasons wind down.

And one of the other moderators agreed with rocky.

In related news, the price of tea in China is rising.

You could not have been talking about me because I did not make any comment about the picture until your comment.

How come every conversation eventually turns to the price of tea in China?

I'm adding this to Godwin's Law.

I'm more interested in the price of GOOG. It's slid down to below the point where I jumped in...
