I need some Purell...

...to sanitize me from tonight's game.

Some amazing sportsmanship (or lack of it) tonight.

Leading 18-0 late in the 4th quarter (and apparently frustrated it wasn't 40-0), the home team went to a no huddle hurry-up with about 2:30 left in the game -- eventually they scored another touchdown with 0:02 left.

On the try, the visiting team blocked the kick and the person blocking the kick went right into the holder. Unavoidable contact as the blocked kick was right near the holder. After the game, the home coach confronted the crew walking off and claimed someone got speared -- at first he was talking about the snapper and then the holder. I didn't know who he meant, but I know the play on the holder was clean due to the block of the kick (and there was no spear I saw). And my umpire is quite proactive about keeping the defense off the snapper. After the coach said for the second time he "demanded" an explanation, I told the crew to walk away and we left the field with the coach amazed we'd walk away from him.

Oh, did I mention that the home team tried an onside kick up 24-0 with 2 seconds left? The visiting team coaching staff wasn't exactly happy….
