  1. “I didn’t find it interesting”

    or: “you didn’t use this particular play that Peyton Manning [whoever that is! But I get the gist] is currently using, so it’s not worth a touchdown.”

    1. I expected to see Omaha* and didn’t. 10 yard penalty.

      *Omaha representing the technology we just purchased, the new textbook series, cooperative learning, etc. – whatever is the current district/school focus.

  2. Referee: “Your new style is different than how I played. But I’m worried about protecting my reputation (and ego) in my senescence. So I’m going to ask you to please leave the field and never return.”

  3. That’s hilarious! The idea of academic referees nitpicking like NFL refs is spot-on. It reminds me of agonizing over comma placement in my own thesis. To procrastinate (productively?), I often switch gears and play Geometry Dash. It’s a surprisingly good brain break – forces you to focus and react quickly! Anyone else find that a fast-paced game helps clear your head after intense work?
