Does this site ever discuss football?

I don't know what impelled Fed to legislate against 2 forward passes in a down, but I bet it started with children's football. If these things stayed confined to children's play, Fed would see no need, but they percolate up to HS level.

I am not talking about just pushing an envelope, I am talking about having enough time and energy to know the current rules and find a loophole. Most coaches are not going to do that very well unless they have nothing else better to do than just coach. Youth coaches do not make a living only on coaching.
