Man, the Dallas Cowboys sucked tonight. I sure hope they get their act together or it's going to be a LONG football season (SIGH!!!!).
I think your guys have license to murder Alex Barron.
Once upon a time, a man lived. This man was a man who really lived. He was the best there was at what he did, living. Living is what he did, and he did it well. In fact, he did it too well. He lived so well that he made other people stop living. That is why he had to be stopped. To stop him, they sent Rimo.

You cant expect 110% from others, when most times, they don't expect even 90% from themselves. -- Me.

I am loving college football over the NFL more and more every year. I saw some pretty bad football yesterday, and not just from my Raiders.

What rule, and what call?
The rule that states this: the receiver had to maintain possession of the ball throughout the entire process of the catch.

To me the receiver had caught the football. Had both feet inbound and was trying to stop from falling down. He did not lose the ball. He had his hand on it when allow it to touch the ground too break his fall.

The NFL is standing behind how a buzz-creating call was handled in the Detroit-Chicago game.

Lions coach Jim Schwartz refuses to make a fuss about it.


Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, though, wished referees could've used their own judgment to rule Calvin Johnson scored a touchdown.

"I'd like to see a little common sense injected into the officiating," Del Rio said Monday.

That's exactly what the league doesn't want.

"What we try to do with any rule is eliminate the gray area," NFL vice president of officiating Carl Johnson said.

Calvin Johnson leaped for a catch and got two feet and a knee in the end zone before the football hit the ground and he let it go. It was ruled incomplete, allowing the Bears to hold on for a 19-14 win Sunday.

Referee Gene Steratore said after the game that the receiver had to maintain possession of the ball throughout the entire process of the catch, and his boss backed him up the next day.

"I am extremely pleased how it was handled," Carl Johnson said. "I was watching it here in the command center, and am proud of the way our guys handled it."

Carl Johnson, though, wasn't surprised by the uproar.

"It reminds me of the tuck rule, which a lot of people didn't know," he said. "But it was properly ruled on the field. Now it is a nonevent because the fans know it.

at 8 p.m. ET.

"Now we can further educate the fans and media on what the proper requirements are for a catch."

Schwartz refused to criticize the call made by the officials on the field or give his opinion about the rule.

"It really doesn't matter, technically, what we think," he said.

"It's not my job to like any rule," he said. "I was a defensive coordinator for a long time; I didn't like defensive pass interference."

Bears coach Lovie Smith expressed a similar desire to defer to the official ruling.

"I like the rules we agreed on. To me, you can't get caught up in those things," Smith told reporters Monday. "You have rules, you go by them. The officials make calls based on that, cut and dry. All the rules we have in place are good rules. We've all thought about them and agreed upon them. I'm in total agreement on that rule like others we have."

Johnson wasn't in the locker room when reporters had access to it Monday, but running back Kevin Smith insisted the ruling wasn't a topic of conversation among his teammates.

"No one cares," Smith said. "It's over."

Receivers have to be prepared to make a diving catch to keep both feet in bounds in the endzone and fall however they land.

You always had to have control of the ball before you are "downed" in order for it to be a completion.

No doubt, the Lions got absolutely robbed yesterday. That rule's gotta change.
Once upon a time, a man lived. This man was a man who really lived. He was the best there was at what he did, living. Living is what he did, and he did it well. In fact, he did it too well. He lived so well that he made other people stop living. That is why he had to be stopped. To stop him, they sent Rimo.
