What is a horse-collar tackle?

I am honestly starting to think this is a Lamesa area refereeing policy. Home team definitely gets a home field advantage, no matter where it is. Witnessed numerous games this year that were called very one sided. Point in case, last week saw a game in which the official on the visitor side threw his flag once all game, was going to be a bad, bad call against the visitors, but white hat waved it off. The official on the home side, though, called 9 penalties, and every single one of them were against the visiting team, calling back a touchdown and converting two fourth down stops by the visitors into first down for the home team. The official did not call a single penalty on the home team. I have played, coached and even reffed from houston to dallas and out to el paso, and i can say I have never seen such blatantly one sided calling. And before anyone tries to say, sour grapes, blah blah blah, I have been at some of these games just as an observer. I dont know if it is the fact that the refs personally know the coaches, or they have been offered an extra frito pie or what, but i have definitely noticed it around the lamesa area. Same goes for basketball. If any refs are reading this, it is bad form to sit by the home teams varsity coach during the j.v. game and chat. Just some advice.
