Big Turk Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Was I the only one who was screaming at Nantz and Romo as they kept wondering aloud why that wasn't a catch and urging the Steelers to challenge? How do these announcers see so many games live, get paid to know things like why that wasn't a catch(basic rules) and STILL never seem to know these things?? It wasn't a catch because a hand being down DOES NOT count towards determining whether a player is in bounds or not. Has to be feet or a body part(wrist, elbow, butt, knee, etc) He clearly had one foot down in bounds and then his elbow came down out of bounds. Clear no catch. Easy rule to know. How do these announcers not know basic rules when they are paid to know this stuff?? Edited October 9, 2022 by Big Turk 1 1 1 2 Quote
Simon Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 I'd guess that most of us knew the rule and were rolling our eyes, but that yes, you were the only one screaming. 7 1 Quote

SoCal Deek Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 If that is the rule it’s another stupid one. 4 Quote
Freddie's Dead Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 It's amazing. Not like it used to be, when the rule book was proprietary. You can go to nfl.com and download the pdf. Easy peasy. They're paid millions of dollars to announce a game and they can't even be bothered to read the rulebook. Quote

Beast Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 I was howling in anguish at what Romo was saying as the Bills were up 38-3. Quote

Like is this a Bills home game or what? The talking up of the guy before he even threw a ball was nauseating. 1 Quote
