A-11 is no longer legal.

The choice of the word practice was probably poor. My point was was that reports of sexual activity by catholic priests have been from all parts of the world and the subject as part of a plot line for a book is hardly shocking. In fact, sexual activity by religious figures of all faiths have appeared as story lines in hosts of books. Have you never read "Winesburg, Ohio"by Sherwood Anderson which is a frequent recommended novel for high school literature courses?

The plot line of a sexually active priest in Bryan's novel certainly is not an endorsement by him of that lifestyle anymore than Charles Dickens advocated the recruitment of kids into crime by writing "Oliver Twist".

Keep the argument focused on the A-11, not on Bryan's life as an author.
The two are not linked and trying to connect them only confuses the matter.

So you're saying you're just plain stupid? I think you owe everyone on this forum an appology for your bigoted remarks.

Apparently you're dumber than I thought. Never mind, just crawl back in your hole.

Let's call Jimmy Swaggert and have him make the apology. I love drama!

The petitions are now available. Kurt and Stan are leading the march on FED. A sampling:

"Is there room in America for more than one style of football offense now & in the future?

If you believe the answer is Yes; and your school, your league or your entire section wants to use the A-11 Offense or a Hybrid of it, please read below about how to submit this Dual Petition to your own State Association and the NFHS. Over the last two years, many hard-working coaches & student-athletes across the USA took a chance & tried something innovative in the game of football. Now, A-11 Offense concepts and strategies are here to stay in their true capacity, in a hybrid form, and/or in the new A-11 Camouflage attack for teams wanting to use different ideas."

So, without the A-11 there is only one style of offense. This will come as a complete surprise to every coach I know.

...and, for $149 you too can get my book on the advanced concepts of the A-11. And, I'll throw in a bottle of snake oil.

Just imagine, for only $149 you too can run this advanced offense and receive a bottle of snake oil.

Be the first in your state to run this truly remarkable offense, an offense that revolutionizes the game of football!!

I think you owe it to jimpiano to tell us which remarks you think are bigoted.
