    That’s against the rules? We did that all year on my team!

    I’d watch football if they could do stuff like that.

    Penalty, not enough men on the field. Offsetting penalties.

    Must be a Tech school, putting one of those “basic machines” to use……I think they need to adjust the fulcrum point a little, though.

    IF there was a rule for this, they’d be breaking it: No more than one man jumping on the see-saw!

    If its not in the rule book, then its not against the rules. So expect helmets with a sharp horn attached to it, to make its debut

    Some people seem to see politics in everything, even non-sensical sports humor.

    Judging by the “stellar” work by the “regular” officials on Thanksgiving day, I think I would rather have the replacements back. At least they had an excuse.

    I think it comes under assisting the ball carrier rule. At one time, they actually equipped the quarterback with handles and threw him over the line – thus the rule permitting blocking, but not moving the carrier directly.
