Weird stuff is going to happen, and you've got 22 men trying to fight over that ball in some way, shame, form, or fashion, and it's a game that's not officiated consistently, and so something that's legal in one game isn't legal in the next, and it's all over the place, and so I think just all those things combined, plus the schedule is weird, right?
