If he had spiked it, it would have definitely established possession as he would have had to take the ball up then down, showing he had it. Colin Cowherd actually said that this morning, have you been listening to it?

Every announcer/analyst I've heard or read said it was the correct interpretation of the rule, although, I think it's a great rule in the open field, there should be a separate rule in the end zone.

How is it a great rule? You actually think that makes a lot of sense when it's obviously a catch?

You can't take a league and sport like this seriously with rules like these that ruin the game.

Also, this same EXACT thing happened last year to Green Bay, I didn't see anyone here complaining. Why? Because you don't care about them, in fact, the only forum member who does care about them is Pado, and he didn't make a huge stink about it.

If this had happened to the Colts, Saints, or Patriots, you would be sitting here laughing about it.

I don't see why this matters.

If it was WVU, you'd be pissed, too.

Dumb rule.

Burke, you didn't even go to WVU...

Who cares about what "ties" I have to them?

I've been a fan of those three for nearly 30 fucking years. I didn't know that there was some written rule somewhere that you either have had to A) Go to the school, or B) Are only required to support the hometown teams.

Then why did you ask about Bayern?

No I wouldn't, if it's the rule, then it's the rule...

EVERYBODY HAS TO PLAY BY IT, it's not as though it's unfairly used for and against some teams, everyone has to play by it.

I think it's a good rule because in the open field it defines that a player has to maintain control through the catch, so guys that fall out of bounds on the 30 have to have the ball in their chest, not dragging the ball under them while its in their hands.

Burke, you didn't even go to WVU...

...and you didn't go to Michigan, the team you supported for 18 years.

At least I applied and was accepted to WVU.

why you in a bad mood joe

Why did I ask about Bayern? Does the word "Glory Hunter" mean anything to you?

Don't throw stones when you live in an air conditioned Glass Villa.

You can ask Andy, it had nothing to do with how good they were.

Seriously, ask him.

That's two words, wopface.

 

[Enron]

In the open field, if a player puts the ball on the ground while running, as if he stumbled, the play is dead at that spot, but alas, that is a running situation, after showing possession.

That sounds like a fumble.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

No, with the ball in his hand, not letting go.

 

[Rollie]

That sounds like a fumble.

You know it. Unless he's being tackled on the play, that's a fumble.

 

[Enron]

No, with the ball in his hand, not letting go.

So it's like "downing" the ball? Like when QBs kill the game by downing the ball to wind down the clock?

 

[Rollie]

No, with the ball in his hand, not letting go.

He definitely has to be touched by a defender, right? Plenty of guys fall by themselves, the ball hits the ground, but they still have possession so they get up and start running again.

You guys are talking about college football maybe? Different rule?

 

[Enron]

No, it's the pro game we're talking about.

No, not college. In pro, if a running back (for example) runs through the line, then gets tripped up but does not fall, either by his doing or another player, if he uses the ball in his hand to keep him up, so as to steady, the ball is down there and the play is dead....

Looking like this after the snap as the player runs:

 

[Rollie]

No, it's the pro game we're talking about.

I think that Burkaka The Glory Hunter is wrong on this one.

Edit: Ahhh, maybe not. I've never seen that before buddy, actually, so I suppose that could be true...

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

If he does let go of it though, it is a fumble.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I think that Burkaka The Glory Hunter is wrong on this one.

No, I'm not, and I'm not nearly as much a glory hunter as Sergio.

 

[Rollie]

:wub:

Kidding man. By your definition, I'm a glory hunter, and unconcerned about it.

Started liking the Bruins when they were in the cup final.

Started liking the 9 when they were very good (because of Rice initially... before they won their last bowl though)

Started liking Oakland when they were a playoff team (Hate baseball now)

Started liking Juventus when they were already the most decorated team in Italy (domestically speaking).

For the Bruins and Oakland, in retrospect, some of it had to do with going against the current trends of the day (Jays were awesome, Canadians were cheering for Edmonton).

For the 9 it was because I loved the passing game.

For Juventus, it was because my great great grandfather was from Turin, and I would cheer for the Italian NT in major comps, because Canada was always absent. I'm 1/8th Italian... and yes, I realize that fact, along with my North Americanized last name (Rolle became Rollie) makes me less than Italien.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Meh okay, so you have more GH% than I do too...

 

[Rollie]

Meh okay, so you have more GH% than I do too...

Sounds like it.

Still, I always associated the GH thing more with bandwagon hoppers, or maybe people who are late to following certain sports and pick the dominant team just to be involved with the celebrations.

If you're a child, you just kind of like who you like - reasons vary. Once you've endured losing spells like the Bruins, 49ers, the relegation and deconstruction of Juventus, I think your GH label is absolved.

By that time, you've clearly demonstrated your dedication to the cause.

I have one good buddy who's 3 favorite baseball teams are the Yanks, Red Sox, and the Blue Jays, in that order. Not sure how that's even possible, as they're all in the same division. I'm not sure who he liked first, but I definitely smell some glory hunting there...

Anyway, I gotta run buddy; gotta go pick up my new bike. Have a good one...
