And to think I thought the High Schools I attended were big shots when they installed field turf and video screens. My only problem with the field turf is since a lot of High Schools have Football share with Spring sports like Lacrosse and Soccer that the lines for all sports are on the field year round. I imagine running across a field marked for Football isn't exactly a picnic for Soccer and LAX players either.


Though from what I can tell the basic outlines for LAX and Soccer are much lighter during football season.

Part of the reason I was pissed at the Redskins after the Seahawks playoff game was that virtually every High School in the area that I attended had installed field turf while one of the richest sport franchises in the world was dragging their feet with poorly maintained natural grass.

Also speaking of video screens:


I've thought this for a while now that the Franchise system needs to be tweaked a bit into more broad categories

Quarterbacks

Skilled Players - Running Back, Wide Receiver, Tight End, Fullback

Defensive Front 7 - DE, DT, ILB, MLB, OLB

Defensive Backs - CB, S

Specialists - K, P, LS
