My wife was watching Fox & Friends (I think) this morning and on the show they had the junior that made a touchdown then got a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct when he knelt and pointed skyward. He had done it before without any condemnation but this ref called him on it. They did go on to win the game. http://www.jsyk.com/2010/12/02/high-school-football-player-flagged-for-post-touchdown-prayer/ The point I am making is not about the call but the young man. He showed more poise and thought in his answers than any of the experts and congress people they've interviewed. He wouldn't blame anyone, he said comparing high school football to the NFL wasn't correct because there are different rules. He didn't condemn the ref. It was one of the best interviews I've ever seen and he could have easily passed as a man of 30 with experience. If this interview is anywhere on the net and you find it you will be impressed.
