You don't think he had the ball secured in his palm and forearm?

See I disagree with you (at least in the instance of this particular play) that it's unclear whether or not there is possession and I think that's why you're being attacked as much as you are right now even by people who understand the rule. I think when he makes his last lunge he's already managed to secure the ball…

That's fair, but I'd argue you could still manage to take subjectiveness out of the referees hands even if you discarded the 'falling to the ground' aspect of the rule. If someone secures control of the ball and has two feet down inbounds, regardless of what happens after that or whether or not they're falling to the…

I know you've been defending the call all afternoon in other threads, so let me ask you this. Do you agree with the rule itself?

Asked by Leitch about his successor, Craggs demurred at first, and then named Marchman. He seemed at first to be joking, and Leitch responded with a laugh.

It's really weird looking at the ones from like 2006 and seeing Barry Petchesky with goofy rambling little quip comments on each one...

Also... the joke did go over my head because I honestly did think you were just making a silly pun. Is it supposed to be you're punishing someone by making them have gluten? Or is there some kinda reference I'm missing? Now I just wanna know.

I regretted posting my douchebag reply the second I did it... apologies

I love the fact that you didn't even set this one up. Just rushed down to the comments and word puked out this dumb pun. I'm not even being sarcastic either. At first I was mad (because I wanted to do it), but then I couldn't help but laugh at it. It's like sitting with your uncle at the VFW and listening to the…

It depends on what the setup of the newsroom is and that more often than not depends on how big the market is. A smaller market like Dayton or Toledo would probably have the anchor producing his/her entire sportscast, so they would be putting in the text for the 'over the shoulder' graphic.

Giangreco is the same guy who called out Walter Payton for being skin and bones when he was dying of cancer. Giangreco didn't know of Payton's condition (nobody did yet) and felt awful about it (Payton later called him to say not to worry about it, which Giangreco emotionally recounted in Payton's SportsCentury), but…

The celebrity 2 on 2 basketball tournament continued on through the scorching hot San Jose summer afternoon. The finals had arrived and in one corner stood the most unlikely duo.... Kobe Bryant and Andrew Luck.

I use some of Peter Gammons' tweets to break the ice at bars sometimes.... The girls always just think I'm having a stroke though...
