They Did What???

After a day of shooting news in Iberville Parish, excellent work Ms. Caroline told we would make it happen, it was time to shot just about everyone's passion, FOOTBALL!!!!!!!! Man, I was looking forward to this. But the journey to get there had a few bumps in the road. Because the assignment sheet wasn't clear I thought my first game was in St. Francisville. I get there and the stadium is empty. I call the Sports Dept. and I'm told sorry that's our bad, we forgot to indicate where the first one was. Full Speed back to Zachary. Everything's cool.

That is until I got the news.

Official walks up to me and asks, "Do you know about the new rule?" "What new rule", I reply. "You must be 2 yards from the sideline. And you cannot be in the player's box ". "Who thought of this", I said. "Some national people I guess, must be for safety reasons".

So I'm thinking to myself, "How am I suppose to get the In Ya Face feel of the game". That's what makes shooting this game different. You make the viewer at home feel like they are in the game. Man they must be taking notes from the NFL or something. Next they'll say we have to wear vests with some logo or something so we can be identified properly.

I'm not scared to take a hit. I remember it was Southern Lab v. Dunham where I got hit twice during the game. They were asking the players if were they all right. One player bounced off of me. People on the sideline were shocked that I didn't go down from the contact. Fans in the stands were wondering what just happened. Just shook it off and kept on shooting. So I ask where in the world did safety concerns come from?????

Then it hit me. Sorry D.
