We’ll see what happens. I certainly don’t think you’re wrong to be skeptical. But I like that there’s an extra UNC on hand for playoff games (i.e. situations where players and team staff are more likely to bend the rules because of the higher stakes), and that does seem to me at least a sign or signal that they might…

I can’t decide if I hate you more than I love you.

Matt Ryan does not belong on the “Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady” side of that sentence.

Yeah. I’m kind of amazed with the team-friendly extension he signed that he didn’t get a no-trade out of the deal, but I guess that’s why they negotiate terms.

I am similarly entertained by all this Last Jedi content and the split between people who are entertained by it and people who seem deeply, deeply offended by it.

I’ll give you another apparent reason: this might have been their last chance. As part of keeping him in the minors when everyone in baseball knew he belonged in the bigs during his rookie season, they kept him from accruing a year of service time. It appears that, had, they not fucked with him and his free agency…

While this is admittedly (barely) gaming news, isn’t the more interesting question “does it matter at all that this is Battlegrounds’ first official release”?

I can’t even. Oh god I’m dead.

Sure, but his feet being down (sideways, mind you) don’t make him a clearly established runner ... two feet down is only an issue with regards to whether or not you’re out of bounds. The Packers play falls under a different rule because the player caught the ball and kept running. James never became a runner…

The Lions fans have it the worst because that wasn’t even the fucking rule then. I don’t know why people call it the Dez Bryant rule, since it’s pretty obviously the Calvin Johnson rule.... and that’s what everyone was calling it until Dez Bryant lost his catch to that rule.

That’s the problem. If you change the rule so that the receiver has possession the moment he puts two hands on it and pulls it in to his chest, that’s a touchdown. You also start seeing 2-3 more fumbles a game, easily, because guys get blown up when they’re making the catch, and you probably increase dangerous hits on…

Sean, they said that before they watched the review. After that they were like “wait, I think they’re looking at the ball,” then watched it again (which is exactly what the officials were doing and were supposed to do) and said “oh wait, he doesn’t maintain possession, that one is probably coming back.”

It’s not even the same rule. The Packers play was under the rule about when a receiver has established possession and can fumble. The term “football move” persists because it used to be the standard, but they changed it years ago. Now you have to be “clearly established as a runner” to be able to fumble.

I mean, let’s be fair. Nothing about that play makes perfect sense.

After the way he insisted Cam Newton have no tattoos or piercings and keep his hair short, not surprising to find out he thinks other people’s bodies belong to him generally.

The Packers play involved a player catching the ball with his hands away from his body, tucking it under his arm into a running posture, turning upfield and taking two steps before it was punched out, and it was called a catch and fumble—not an incompletion.

He wasn’t touched, he can’t be down by contact. Knee down doesn’t matter if it’s down because you dove for the catch.

He went down untouched so he wasn’t down by contact.

The call was correct within the rules, and the analysts picked that out in TV after looking at the replay. The headline appropriately points out that the issue is the rule is shitty. I think everyone expects that rule to be changed because it’s stupid.
