We played football today against some scac guys. On the whole, they were a pretty fun group. However, one guy did get on my nerves. On one touchdown pass, he's playing safety and calls our QB is past the line of scrimmage. I was on the sidelines keeping track of downs along with someone else and we tell him that the pass was legal. He kept arguing that it our QB was past the line even though he was in the endzone, saying that our boundry cones were crooked.
Him: The lines are crooked. If they were straight, he'd have been past.
Me: We were right on the line of scrimmage looking across the field and he wasn't past. (We were 10 feet away from the QB when he threw it.)
Him: He was past! (obviously he has super vision from 30 yards away with the wrong angle)
Me: Do you want to re-do the down?
His team: No it's ok.
Me: Do you want to move the cones so the lines are straight?
Him: No... (sullenly)
Me: Then quit complaining.
The next set of downs his team throws an interception on my side of the field and luckily I had the chance to start blocking for the cornerback and the complainer and I are running right at each other. My eyes get all big because I want to block him as hard as I can, but legally. I fold my arms across my chest and we hit arm to arms. I shove him backwards with my upperarms and go past him. He gets up and yells, 'Next time you guys block like that I'm going to start throwing punches!'
What... the... H-E-double-hockey-sticks? He's taking about throwning punches? This guy wants the throw down because he got blocked playing football? I ignore him.
Later that game he's rushing and one of our players smacks him in the face and he's starts screaming bloody murder. I didn't see the play but you're not supposed to have the hands above the shoulders if you're blocking. Supposedly he tried to duck a blocker and got clocked. We had to stop the game and re-do the rules for this one guy. GRRRRRRRR. Anyone else would have not mentioned it or just told the blocker to watch his hands, but this little, hot-headed kid ruined the game for the other 16 people there. Nice work guy.

yeah, ghetto, eh?
Of course, given the fact he was wacked by a certain guy... hahhaa.
Actually, that dude is really, really lucky I'm not a mean guy. I could have totally taken him out, but decided to split up the pain so he didn't have to end up in the hospital. Check out my blog if you want a more detailed recap :P
