Did I cross the line?

Yes, you definitely crossed the line. It's sort of slightly mitigated by the fact that you asked a question vs. just pointing it out, or worse advocating for it. But yes, you crossed the line.

At the same time, as others have pointed out, it's not the most egregious line-crossing. If it's the worst you ever do, you'll be just fine. If it happens again, though, find a pressbox.

Well, except that's where the clock guy sits, and I'll be damned if I'm not poking him if he misses the wind the clock signal when there's 9 minutes left in a 35-7 game.

High school football game Friday night, and I'm on the sidelines taking notes and shooting photos. Team A has the ball on Team B's 28 yd. line, first down. First down pass fell incomplete. Second and 10. One of the refs spots the ball on the 29 yard line, effectively bringing up second and 11. The ref in front of me is straddling the 28 yard line, and the sticks on the other side of the field are on the 28 naturally, and the damned ball is spotted a yard from them. I said to the ref, "Are you going to let that spot stand?" Without hesitating he said, "Oh, thanks," blew his whistle and corrected the problem.

Should I have not intervened? Go ahead. I will take my lumps.
