Oooh I really like the idea of stickum again. We spent hours pretending to one hand catch as we fell into the end zone with the ball unnaturally stuck to our hands. Because that’s how it was in real life. But that was deep into the last century and everything was in black and white back then so...

Here’s my question: The ball clearly moved, but the fingers of his right hand were under it the whole time. They showed the replay 100 times and you can’t tell whether it came off his fingers and hit the grass. Since it was called a TD on the field, shouldn’t that have remained the call?

“ wait on replay to break it down frame-by-frame to see if it slightly jiggled.”

Many friends of mine said the same thing as we were watching last night. The NFL thinks it’s kneeling players that turn off fans when it’s really the fact games aren’t as fun to watch when almost every big play gets overturned and exciting catches are always met with skepticism under review.

+1 loss of religion

Said the same in the jamboroo this week.

When asked for his opinion on the situation, Russell Wilson glanced around nervously and pissed his pants before discussing the Seahawks positive locker room culture.

Hey, Tom
I wish you and all the Deadspin staff continued balling for the year to come.

Have you seen their gloves? Better than stickem

It’s amazing the extent to which the NFL can turn maybe this year’s most exciting two minutes of football, college or pro, into something that resembles a seminar on the federal tax code.

Christian McCaffery and Sterling Shepard shouldn’t be forgotten in this mess.

Stickum is messy. Instead, they should put a metallic coating on the ball and have players wear gloves that have magnets in them.

If it was only -some Saints fans, I’d still come out ahead

I mean, I wouldn’t point to this rule specifically, but the overlegislation of games is a huge reason why I’ve greatly curtailed my consumption. I imagine it’s the same for a lot of other people, but of course, let’s blame the players exercising free speech for why the game sucks now

Tony Dungy put it best after the game.

Well said. More time watching replays than watching the actual action. I can’t imagine who it serves. No commercials typically run b/c they’re out of slots at this point and fans are waiting around for the result along with players. Kills the energy and flow of action.

“The receiving player must maintain full control of the ball from the initial point of contact all the way through CTE diagnosis.”

I don’t know man, those three exclamation points after the hack claim are pretty convincing. If he’d only put one exclamation point, I’d be on the fence, but three? No doubt about it!!!

Richardson was apparently very disappointed to learn he had to sell the whole team rather than each player individually.

Edward G. Robinson is sure something isn’t Wright.
