Did his job become physically more demanding? Mentally? Did he just have to do more of the same work? Or did the work become more complicated? Is this correct: As a consequence of Morgan not doing his job, the job became harder for him to do. Then he started doing it proactively, and it became even harder for him to do. | ||

Was he an NBA center? And at 1:10 he was sitting on the bench due to foul trouble (let's say 3 if it's NCAA or 4 if it's NBA since they allow one more - it will make sense in a minute) and the backup center allowed the other team to make a ton of easy layups and take a huge lead? So it was harder for Morgan to do his job because his team was losing. Then at 2:23 his coach put him in and he tried to stop a layup and succeeded but picked up an additional foul meaning he couldn't foul anymore without fouling out? Which would make it harder for him to do his job? | ||

Did he not do his job, in that he did not take the snap? Or did he call a timeout? YES! ******* SPOILER ******* Morgan is an NFL quarterback. During the game, At 1:20PM, Morgan didn't get the play off and was penalized yardage for "Delay of Game." At 2:23PM Morgan moved during the snap-count and was penalized yardage for "False Start." NOTES: It was hard to form the original story without giving away the football element. I would have liked to make the times something like, "with 1:20 left in his work day", but I thought that might have been too obvious. I was also concerned about using the word "proactive." However, one definition is "acting in anticipation of future problems, needs, or changes", so Morgan may have caused the false start due to a future need to roll out of the pocket. Thanks To: Fortunate, Galfisk, Balin and Gregoryuconn for playing. | ||

Well, at least it wasn't 13 men on the field like Tennessee had against LSU two weeks ago. How do you manage that? It would have been even funnier if they couldn't stop LSU's 11 men. But they did, then got flagged, and gave up a game-winning touchdown. | ||
