In week one this season we were playing the Baltimore Hawks. We were down a couple scores and our defense was starting to tighten up. On a huge third down, we got a bigtime stop as they were just getting over the 50. At least, we thought we had gotten a stop. The referee then proceeded to throw a flag for a horse collar tackle. Our whole defense was shocked... a great tackle had just been made by one of our linebackers and it had just been taken away by a ridiculous call. Everyone on the defense turned to each other which shocked expressions, confused about the horse collar flag when nothing of the such occurred. Thankfully, our defense took the high road and lined back up for the next play. The hawks however did score that same drive which killed our momentum for the rest of the game. We went on to lose by much more than we should have due to that horrific call.

Penalties do not affect the Cue. In fact, "penalties" are nothing more than mere recommendations that someone dressed in a zebra costume, that decided to get a whistle and one of them even has a microphone, tries to enforce.
Sometimes Cue stops the play and moves forward a few yards for a new set of downs, but sometimes the zebra guys try to make him start behind his last position? No idea what they want to be honest, but i just tell them no way we are going back, considering the end zone is the other way, and normally they shout a bit, throw a yellow cloth in the air (great spectacle to watch when there is a lot, looks like something out of Cirque du Soleil, very nice), try to tell me i need to "leave the field", but when i tell them i will not do that, they just go along with my wishes.
Funny thing this football penalties stuff.

Honky Tonk still remembers it like it was yesterday.  Season 29.  Week 16.  Philadelphia hosting the Yellowknife Wraiths.  An absolute slugfest for 4 quarters.  The Liberty lead for the majority of the game, taking a 12-10 lead thru halftime and late into the fourth until a 59-yard field goal put the Wraiths up, 13-12.  In response, young QB Ryan Negs drives his offense down the field and engineers a 4 minute drive resulting in a field goal to go back up, 15-13.  With the clock dwindling, the Wraiths offense began to sputter, and three straight incompletions brought up 4th and 10 with 50 seconds left in the game.  Wraiths’ QB Colby Jack takes a short drop, fires to WR Kai Sakura short of the sticks, who is wrapped up by CB Fieri.  TURNOVER ON DOWNS! Liberty Wi- wait…A flag is on the field! “After the play, unnecessary roughness, #40m defense.  The result of the play is an automatic first down.”  That’s right.  Haywood called for a game-saving penalty on a highly questionable call.  The Wraiths are able to pick up a couple more first downs and hit the game winning field goal.  A tough pill to swallow for a young Honky Tonk Haywood, but one that he clearly used as motivation to become a better player.

The first game that came to mind was Week 9 of Season 30, where the game was influenced by a bad no call. In the second quarter, Tugg Speedman caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from Sam Howitzer to extend the Silverbacks lead over the Butchers to 8. However, the touchdown should have been nullified due to Speedman's obvious taunting of the defense during the course of play prior to him breaking the plane of the end zone. The missed call did not change the outcome of the game as the Silverbacks would go on to win by a margin of 35, but it did leave an indelible mark on an otherwise mundane game. Much to the chagrin of the Butchers organization, the highlight has been frequently played in the community and is a top search result when looking for ISFL-related material online. For those unacquainted with the play, it can be seen in its original broadcast definition below.

Deshawn Penne is a saint and never commits penalties, so every single time the refs have thrown a flag on me have been an obvious mistake. Holding? That's a joke, if I'm blocking it is always with perfect technique. Penne's blocks are impeccable, beautiful, the best and are real highlight reel, training video type stuff. The times I have been called for holding this season can be chalked up to the referee just not being able to mentally comprehend how I was able to block the defender in the situation and can you really blame him? Offensive pass interference? Couldn't be me. The times I've been called for OPI are simply because the referee was not able to mentally comprehend how the defender's ankles were broken by my route, they just assume it was interference and can you really blame him? False start? Okay maybe I have false started a few times, oops.
