Up here in the Greate White North, we call it "tourist hunting."

Happened in a game today, actually. Big, honkin' long run down the sideline, and some 40 yards from the play a linebacker is staring at what is certain to be a touchdown by the offence. He's just sittin' there, minding his own business, when he's smoked (legal block and all) by the quarterback.

In our game, that's an uneccessary roughness, and that's 15 yards from point ball held (if after yards gained.)

The ball was on the seven yard line.

In the end, the team lost by a touchdown.

All my fault of course, but you guys know that dance.
