NEW YORK — The NFL is looking into how a female television reporter was treated at New York Jets practice Saturday.
Ines Sainz, a reporter for Mexico's TV Azteca doing a story on quarterback Mark Sanchez, had footballs thrown in her direction by a Jets coach during practice, and players later called out to her in the team's locker room.
Just because it's a rule doesn't make it a good rule. I just don't see the efficiency of this rule when the player obviously caught the ball with two feet and an ass in the end zone, clearly having the ball in possession. As someone else said, it should be a different matter in the endzone as the play is dead as soon as possession exists in the endzone. And I think that just like in real football, the benefit of the doubt should be given to the attacker, yet in this case there wasn't any doubt about Calvin bringing the ball down under control. He did it. Everyone, including Bears fans, saw it.
While my rage has to do with the fact the ruling penalized my Lions, my opinion of the rule would be the same if it happened to the Steelers, for instance. I simply find it a stupid rule in my opinion, one which might hurt all the teams in the league. And again, I'm not known around here for bullshitting excuses for my team, ESPECIALLY the Lions.
Even 80% of Bears fans think it's a stupid rule, so it's not just Lions fans complaining.

Burke asked me what the best team in Munich was, this was probably in 2001. I told him Bayern. If I would have told him it was 1860, he would have believed it, but I could totally see him switching to Bayern once he figured out the truth.

What an odd dialogue
