Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 4141369, member: 1572"] I have this vision of NFL execs gathering in Miami holding coke-fueled meetings dreaming up crazy asinine rules that make no sense. My favorite is when the ball carrier dives for the pylon, fumbles out of the end zone and the other team - that never recovered the ball - not only gets possession but gets an extra 20 yards for their troubles. Meanwhile if he fumbled the ball out of bounds at the one he retains possession. Wha? Another somewhat new one is this notion that you've made a legal catch even if the ball hits the ground. Never used to be that way. Now we have this debate over whether the receiver has control despite the ball hitting the ground. A lot easier, and much less interpretation, if you just call it incomplete if it hits the ground. [/QUOTE]
