Sometimes you wonder why we do this job.

I will work some youth football, but I'm very picky. It's only at smaller, rural towns where the teams/parents/coaches are thrilled to have you. I've gone to some other places once only to think to myself "never again."

But in the end, I do these games for one reason only -- the paycheck. I'd be lying if I said otherwise. And, truth be told, I haven't done one of these in 2 years now.
