The tv camera people for the old XFL would down field along side wide receivers in really crazy football coverage. When one got into the huddle, the QB's play was broadacst on the big screens inside the stadium  so the defences could hear the play.The QB called a timeout to protest, the coach gave him holy hell.All theXFL teams were owned by the same person so it didn't really matter who won. Very Crazy.

A happy memory from covering Wpg. Police Special Olympics Torch Runs, not any easy thing to cover. I would park my car a few blocks ahead of the runners on the route, then walk up to meet them. Carrying just a 24mm in those days of film cameras, I would  join the run, running backwards. This was always a pretty big run with lots of police, EMT and fire, families and kids so there was no stopping. Anyway as I got just a head of the pack, running backwards, they made and exchange. I thought, cool this is different. Now this complicated the names, one guy was a short simple name the next not so much. How hard could that be getting a name using every letter in the alphabet and then checking with no, a 'z' instead of an 's' ,OK ,how's that again. Still running backwards , it is really getting comical,when one in the crowd yells out, hey this photog is running faster backwards than you guys are running forward. That was a  challenge to pick it up, and they all picked up the pace and they were gone. That's why they call it work,I guess. I forgot to get their ranks.
