NFL 2009-10 Season

[HD MM]

Did they put that one in yesterday ?

Read for youself. Along with an article mocking the fact that an NFL Announcer (Millen) doesn't know the rules, even though he was on the competition committee...

Millen was adamant the play would be overturned because the ball was outside the pylon and that the rule was changed a few years ago due to some play involving Michael Vick. He even talked about being there when the competition committee discussed it. He said something about "that 'goal line extended all around the world' thing isn't in the rule anymore. It has to be inbounds and break the plane."

The only problem is that he's wrong and that section of the rule only applies to airborne runners. I knew this, but I was hoping to find a play in the case book (a section of the rulebook where they draw up hypothetical plays and offer up what the result of the play should be with an explanation). I was not disappointed. In fact, the explanation given directly contradicts what Millen was saying.

Runner A1 takes handoff and runs down the sideline toward the goal line with the ball in his outside arm. He crosses the goal line plane standing with the ball to the outside of the pylon.
Ruling: Touchdown. Part of the ball crossing over or inside the pylon only applies to an airborne runner who lands out of bounds.

Well theres a rule they REALLY ought to look into changing to having to be in bounds when you cross the goal line.

The Steelers are the best 6-6 team in the league.... and THE defending Super Bowl Champs. Let's not count them out just yet....it is no different than people PREMATURELY printing playoff tickets....**cough** denver **cough**

Well, who's prematurely ejaculating from his mouth here?

Looks like Denver's in a good position to print playoff tickets. No one, including myself would have thought that in the offseason, but look where they are.

Where are the Raiders???? Oh yeah, in the cesspool of despair......once again.....

OK, I guess you would just prefer cesspool. I can agree with that.

 

[salsadancer7]

Nope....no cesspool either Sparky! Raider camp is one big happy family....

[salsadancer7]

Uh-huh, just like Jon & Kate Plus 8!!

[yaz96]

I guess if that's what it takes to rock the Raider nation these days.... "2 outta 3". woo-hoo!

Yeah you are right, I was thinking of the wrong play.

This is the one I was thinking of:

He didn't go through with his promise of blowing Ragnar's horn if he scored.

 

[SabresRule]

In the first half, Matt Schaub was 24 for 28 for 336 yards and 2 touchdowns.

He's MY fantasy QB!

 

[SabresRule]

Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, and Jamaal Charles have combined to give me 76 Fantasy Points!

 

[meStevo]

Dunno if you're watching the Bills game Sabres, but man this is boring. That Charles run was nice, but Zzzzz.

Brandon Marshall has tied the NFL record for most receptions in a game with 20.

Colts 21, Broncos 16 .................9:44 left in 4th

Saints lead the Falcons, 26-23 with 1:30 left in 4th................but Atlanta is driving..............

Heh, if the Broncos can't beat the Colts on a day where Manning throws 3 picks, they aren't going anywhere in the playoffs (if they can even make it there)
