I might be reading "between the lines" a bit here, Al... but I think your post is perhaps more restrained, positive and polite than something I might have been tempted to post.
Kudos to the inspector who found the steel rod inside the pool noodles for not immediately using said foam-covered rods to deliver a brief and brutal lesson on bumpers!
I mean, I'm having a hard time believing that a team really didn't know what was going on here. I remember being a clueless rookie, but this year's bumper rules are pretty hard to miss... or misunderstand.
