waiting room TV was on the wrong channel today, some replay of a game I didn't have a rooting interest in, and I still sat there for twenty minutes charting the left tackle's feet. Settle the toughest place to play debate? It's not the loudest stadium, it's the one where your tackle can't hear the snap count and your center is pointing at a ghost. Crowd noise is a protection problem, and the numbers on false starts back it up. Anyone telling me it's about the fans' reputation instead of the silent count has never had to fix one.
