Instructions from the Expert:

When an official views a play he sees it with his eyes & processes it with reason through his mind; when a fan, coach or player views a play they see it with their eyes but processes through their “heart” with an emotional basis. I am an on field official & travel during the Football Season. Therefore there will be a slight delay answering questions posted Thursday-Sunday nights as I travel and work games August-December.

I will not dignify rude or disparaging comments with a response. I also will not entertain questions that use profanity. Football officials don't seek to “screw” any team Such an insinuation is ridiculous and ludicrous.
