This pretty much proves you are NOT an official cause if you were you would know that some of the most ignorant folks when it comes to the rules of the game are the media writers and broadcasters.

Found asdf!!

"Normally used for punts, the rule stated that as long as the player receiving the snap was seven yards behind center, any teammate wearing the jersey of an eligible receiver (between Nos. 1 and 49 or 80 and 89) was permitted to go downfield. Bryan and Humphries had already been noodling with a 3-3-3 superspread base formation that had two sets of three receivers flushed out wide in "pods" close to the numbers, with a center inside flanked by two tight ends, in addition to two QBs in the backfield. Now the scrimmage kick formation rule was saying they could potentially send any of those 11 players out for passes." (An offensive revolution is coming to the NFL. Can anyone stop it? - ESPN The Magazine)

You are right, the first sentence is slightly confusing to that effect! What a gotcha moment!!! Who cares if it was clearly clarified in the very next sentence. We got him! This proves he's a sportswriter! How could someone make such a "major" mistake? Blasphemy!! Its almost as bad as confusing "legal" with "approved" (to give formal or official sanction)!

TXMike, can't wait to read your next masterpiece " The Snake Oil Sportswriter is at it again"!

zebra, Please stop. For the love of God, please stop. Whatever your agenda is, it doesn't work for those of us who actually go on the field as officials. Enough is enough.

I'm happy to point out to you anything to keep your blood pressure elevated. Like your brother in protest, you are an easy mark. I can envision you throwing folders across the room every time you see an "insult".

Mrs. Bryan, would you please get off the computer and fix Kurt some supper please?

This is my favorite post so far! He seems so excited that he found the "rule." In any event he just proved that he's not a football official.

Generally speaking, rules and laws don't tell you what you can do, they tell you what you can't do. That is the spirit of freedom.

A-11 is perfectly legal. I don't personally like it, but then, there are a lot of legal things being done in this country that I don't like.

Yeah, he's giving way to much intellectual credit to a sports writer.

I was going to point it out to a moderator off line early on, but it's almost as entertaining as the Illinois Senate Fuster Cluck.

Between that, and the NY Govenor situation last year, politics makes my head spin even more. Then again, we have Harper who calls an election only to have the country wish to form a coalition government and to avoid this, our PM shuts down parliament.
