All moderating duties are now going to be handled by a selection committee consisting of all-time posters and people who have occasionally watched football.

The initial committee will be made up of El Penis, Andichu, Wheez's ghost, Sash!, got any sevens (who, at 2013, is the youngest of all the posters on the previous page), Gendo's beaten soul, and former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Aw man. :( Sucks losing MV as a mod. He peckersmacked me more than once (deserved).

Who the gently caress is modding now? No one?

Don't leave us though, MV. We need good posters here to balance me out. And Scionix. Mostly Scionix.

Lowtax stepped down from running the forums in 2008 if I remember right. I don't know for sure but I'd wager a guess that his recent return has probably caused some sort of internalized disagreement amongst mods and admins that caused a lot of people to say gently caress it and step away. Not really sure how right or wrong that is since because GBS is gone I haven't the slightest idea where to look to find a megathread talking about this stuff. That may be totally off base but it seems like mods had to pick sides so I'd guess his return wasn't entirely with open arms.

Speaking of OL play: what's the deal a few teams do -- Auburn, Oregon off the top of my head -- where when the defense jumps and it's a free play the OL will stay in place while the QB takes his home-run shot? Is it to emphasize that the defense was offside so the flag gets thrown? Are they just trained to not move under any circumstances until the snap count goes off? Even if it's a free play and there's no consequence to a sack or hurry wouldn't you want to protect the QB anyway just to make the deep ball more likely to succeed?
