Let me set the scene.

Championship game. Down 3 points, coach doesn't want to play or OT, so the offense goes out to score the game winning touchdown. I line up and look across from me, no one's there. They've left arguably the best player on the field wide open with the game on the line. A feeling of exhilaration falls upon me. I'm about to win the game for my team in, up until this point, is the biggest game of my career. Then a screeching noise breaks me out of my trance. The referee has deemed that one of the bonehead linemen decided to take my moment away from me and jump early. I'm furious, but there's still another chance to win the game. I line up, this time I'm covered, no big deal, I've been cooking DBs all season, lucky for me the ball is actually snapped, I juke a poor corner out of his shoes and catch a wide open touchdown.

Then I see it.

A yellow piece of fabric is own the ground.

I want to believe that it isn't....

It can't be....

But it is.

Holding.

My doofus Oline did it again. Now with the line messing up twice in a row, my coach doesn't trust the offense anymore and sends the filed goal unit out. I'm furious, but our kicker is pretty reliable, even though it's a decently difficult 44 yarder.

The long snapper snaps the ball

The backup QB bobbles the snap, but he's able to get it placed

But with all the time the kicker has lost all momentum and kicks the ball way short of the goal posts.

Game Over.

All in all I'd say refs are temporary, but OL messing things up are forever

So here im obviously going to write about the insane scandal that happened during Week seven of this seasons ISFL, where the sarasota sailfish played the yellowknife wraiths.
Never in my long career have I seen such obviously paid off refs, by god. Sarasota and non hall of fame GM frostbite were obviously very desperate to make it into the playoffs, but in my opinion they obviously crossed a line. Let me just quickly read you the penalty stats from this notorious game.
11 Penalties for a total of 96 yards against the yellowknife wraiths, while the sarasota sailfish garnered only one measly penalty should tell you the story pretty clearly. The refs placed the penalties against yellow knife so strategically to keep alive drives, kill important drives, that theres clearly no doubt in anyones mind that the sailfish paid off the refereeing team in this instance. The question that remains on everyones mind is, Is this the only instance in history that the sailfish administration have adhered to dirty tactics? Rumour has it that the reason the sailfish refused to scout bernd d brot for the recent ISFL draft is that they very well knew that Bernd is not one to play dirty, and wouldve most likely called them out on their foul tactics.
