1st & 25 Podcast
Episode 3: There’s no such thing as a late flag
We look at what fans call “a late flag,” when to penalize for verbal abuse, and—hey!—that ref’s got wheels!
In the third episode of the 1st & 25 podcast, Ben Austro, Mark Schultz, Cam Filipe, and Patrick Weber take a look at what fans and announcers might deem “a late flag,” and why this is a fallacy. A pivotal defensive pass interference call by side judge Lo van Pham on 4th & 16 is examined.
We also take a look at how referee Alex Kemp threw an unsportsmanlike conduct flag for verbal abuse. Where is the line between a flag and not a flag?
Finally, we look at the highlight of the week, and it wasn’t turned in by a player. Back judge Tyree Walton shows off the wheels on a 97-yard touchdown run.
