Runner OB (at the 14 1/2 it looks like). Remains blue ball (depending on down & distance). Officials are an integral part of the "playing field" and as we all know (especially us umpires) we do our best to stay out of the action, but, if we don't it does not change the result of the play.

To carry on a more serious tone that I thought I would garnish, there is no need whatsoever for the Back Judge to run to the deep sideline and push a guy OB! I'm not going to award a TD or extra yards, but I would fire the official.

Not enough officials to fire any, but would suggest an alternative of a mandatory mechanics "re-education".

I asked Donald Trump.

He said, "You're fired!"
