In all honesty...I can't name a UF long snapper in forever. I can name the third string of every position without a second thought and could for the last twenty years if asked that year. Could name most starters for the past 20 years without a second thought if asked right now on the spot.
Long Snappers? No fricking clue.

Most people think they could be a long snapper with some practice, so they give no credit for perfection.
But if that snap is just a bit off, "WTF you moron!!!"

Travel ball ump.
Every pitch results in Braxxtyn's mom or Jaxxyn's mom yelling at you.

Honestly a league commissioner has a pretty rough job.
You get zero credit if things are done well but all the blame if shite goes south.
The only time a league commissioner is thought of fondly is after he retires and his replacement is a moron.

My friend was actually the long snapper for Miami. The kid could shoot the ball over a house with insane accuracy snapping it, was incredible.
Yet when people asked him his position while we were hanging out and it came up, they would say "oh" quite often...then catch themselves and act like it was awesome

The Center. They are responsible for snapping the ball accurately every play, no matter if they have a nose tackle or a linebacker ready to smack them in the face.
Often times, the center is responsible for calling out blocking assignments on the o-line, call out blitzing linebackers, etc.
All 4 other lineman can put all their focus on exploding off their ball into their blocking set. The center has to first focus on snapping the ball accurately, while still being just as fast off the ball as the other lineman.
I might be biased. My coach tried me at center many times in practice. I tried but I could never get the hang of it ever.
