Refs often do a double take when they notice a turtle lined up at free safety. That double take turns into a shocked expression when they see that this reptile has wheels. This dichotomy between the expectations (and frankly an unfair negative stereotypes of my hard shelled brethren) and when they observe on the pitch results in some.... questionable calls. Often after observing Pasta leap several meters in the air to bat a pass down, or see him use his unstobbale spin move to penetrate opposition backfields, the only way refs are able to reconcile what they see is to throw a flag. Often it is just an opportunity for them to pause and deliberate upon what they saw, but unfortunately it frequently results in manufactured penalties. Indeed, they have been known to concoct stories which explain how the play was made. An interception becomes "pass interference" because they feel the only way I was able to get to the ball first was through the use of the dark arts.
