Bean Bag

[Bullycon]

No idea on the NFL reason, but it does remind me of a situation last week in a youth game.

B66 makes an interception. As he begins returing it, I see a beanbag come flying out to the spot of the interception, thrown by the referee. I was a little confused, but a few seconds later, I realized why he did it, and why I should have had a bean bag.

In our youth league, players must be below a certain weight to be legal ball carriers. This is represented by a helmet sticker. If he did not have a sticker, we would have come back to the spot where he gained possession. Most of the time, it's obvious the kid is a legal runner, but this was a pretty good sized boy.

Fortunately, he was legal.
