A bean bag, so that's what that thing is! I knew it was blue and signaled a change of possession, but I always figured it was just another colored flag. This is a good, simple, and informative quiz that I'm sure will manage to surprise those who follow American football only casually.

@dfoliver: referees can toss players from games, but they can't toss them on the field. Except maybe Ed Hochuli, that guy's a beast

@Djibouti: And Wilbur Hackett Jr. He tossed Stephen Garcia onto the field pretty well in the South Carolina LSU game two years ago.

I agree add footballs, also it's called a coin "toss" so using the excuse that refs "toss" players from games isn't valid. I could see players being on this list, also it would be funny if "games" were given as a bonus answer.

@joshuao yeah, that play was what inspired this quiz, but they were joking when they said that (can't remember if it was Buck or Aikman). According to the rule book, the ref throws a flag, then his hat, then the bean bag

I added some suggestions as bonuses since they do technically fit the question as I worded it

What about the rubber bands that are dropped along the hash marks at approximately the first down spot that often determine whether measuring for the first down is even worth it?

Least guessed answer is 16% right now. I'm curious about how many more people got the bonus(es).

@dxdtdemon I've watched football for years, I used to work as a sportswriter, and my stepfather used to officiate high school football. That being said, I have never heard of or seen these rubber bands you're talking about.

Great bonus! Also tried "tantrum" and "fit" to no avail. ;-) This is like a Sporcle version of Family Feud!

I normally don't care about my comment score, but how did I get negative when two of my suggestions were included after I posted them?

The rubber band is tied around the penalty marker to keep the weights in it.
