Last night, I noticed that every player on My Plumber was wearing receivers` gloves, including linemen. Is this to aid in flag-pulling? We gave up a few long TD`s on plays where we had 2 or 3 guys around the ballcarrier plain old whiff on the flag-pulling part.

uhhhhh

;	Flag pulling just takes practice. I suppose the OL was wearing receivers gloves because their "eligible" and the gloves help them catch the ball -- That`s usually personal preference. I feel I catch better without receiver gloves. Depending on the glove, a lot of gloves -- if it is wet (rain, fog, dew, etc.) -- can actually make it more difficult to pull a flag. It just takes a few games to get the hang of pulling the flags. Some teams even practice it.

;	The lineman that are wearing gloves will have balls thrown their way. All of Plumbers lneman can move and they often send them out on routes since they usually play 4 wide and space the field. I play D most of the time but think gloves make it harder to pull flags because you can`t feel if they are definitely in your fingers. I wear them because I have hands of stone and drop balls thrown right at me.

not those guys

;	some people will post with their team and/or jersey number, but most are too afraid to do that. plus, since you just type in a name for your post, even if someone posts with a real name/#, you can`t always trust it. i think the commish leaves it like that because it people had to log in and have their names attached to their posts, they`d be too afraid to post and the board would get boring real fast.
