My favorite part from @NavyFB Pro Day was all 32 NFL teams getting to witness “Evening Colors” at the @NavalAcademy. Full stop to the drill. Standing in reverence. A daily reminder these men & women are here to serve others. They just happen to be some ballers too🏈 #GoNavy

@CoachJones256 I’m hoping it’s because of it being rampant in the youth and HS level. Kids see and kids do

Question......are they worried about the safety of the athletes or are they more worried about players not being uniform and "falling in line" with dress code of how they feel a player should look?

Gene Steratore shares how he used missed calls -whether in life or the game. But then he realized: Dissecting imperfections isn't about self-criticism; it's about growth.. Full episode out Weds. Like, Comment, and Share! @GeneSteratore @DanaPappasNFHS #life #GrowthMindset #learn

Coach Emel!! My big fingers misspelt Coaches name. Sorry Coach!

Most coaches agree - officiating mechanics can make or break the game. Should a seven-man crew be the standard even in HS? Digital Play Clock? I asked Coach Emil @CoachKnowsBest about officiating. Tune in Weds on Whistle Talk to hear the full scoop. @GlazierClinics @NJFOA_SOUTH

@BadSportsRefs @franfraschilla If u get a chance to listen to my podcast, that is exactly what I am trying to do. Educate them. But you can only educate people who want to actually learn. Give it a shot. open.spotify.com/show/2T33vZ8nf…

@franfraschilla 1. Are you okay with 95%? Some people might think that’s low 2. Do you ever think that condescending posts like this might feed into this? Wouldn’t you rather show people why they’re wrong and educate them instead of just saying “lmao STFU morons”?

There is nothing more boring on X than fans bitching about officiating. First of all, in a nearly impossible job, officials get 95% of the calls correct. Secondly, most fans truly don’t know all of the rules. They couldn’t do that job in a 100 years. But fans(short for fanatics) don’t bitch about their power forward costing them a game shooting 59% from the line. Or their coach who spent 750K in the portal on a kid who can’t play dead in a cowboy movie. Do officials mess up a game on occasion? Yes, but at the same rate as your favorite players and coaches do. One more thing, you are the same people who bitch at the umpires at a Little League game, right?

@CoachShiffman Rule 9-4-7 stated that def players could not use the hand(s) to slap the blocker’s head. This year, By eliminating ‘defense’ and ‘blocker’s’ from the rule prohibiting slapping an opponent’s head, the prohibition now applies to all players,” said Bob Colgate, NFHS director

But if you miss, you’re toast!

@CoachShiffman It is a penalty. No head slaps
