This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

his feet are on the ground as he starts to reach by jt

then he "goes weightless" (per the wording of the rule) and lands on the back of the players legs (and then rolls off).

You trust these refs to get this correct, on a bang-bang play like that? When they can't even call blatant holding penalties? When they can't even properly spot the ball?

I most certainly do not. Now, do I think that right now they would throw the flag for it? No, I think that they'll let the league enforce via fines. But then, what's the purpose for having rules to begin with? I suppose we could ask that about damn near any penalty now, to be fair.
