The Ten Commandments of Football

I Football is a wonderful game. There’s blocking and tackling and much, much more. Be enthusiastic. II Weddings, births, and vacations should take place during the off-seasons. 

III Remember the Hupmobile and the original meeting. 

IV All previous games are preparation for the next one.

V Obey the personal conduct policy. 

VI Work for the good of the league. 

VII Win championships with sportsmanship.

VIII You shall not criticize the officials. 

IX You shall not covet other teams’ players or coaches. 

X Game times are tentative and subject to flexible scheduling.
