Hate it worked out for the Eagles but those were catches to me
clement in no way was a catch.

It was per the rule. I thought the same at first, but the rules say that there can be slight movement of the ball.clement in no way was a catch.
yep.Since that doesn’t involve the CBA as long as the majority of owners don’t have an issue with it then it’s kind of a moot point
That is incorrect.
Yeah, and smokin what they're rollin.Forget it, they're rollin'.
I'll be surprised if that turns out to be true. There are a lot of things that go on behind the scenes that fans know nothing about.
Right?The NFL often officiates games with specific agendas, so why would this garner national attention?

yup, the NFL is WWE and Roger Goodell is Vincent K Macmahon.
Watch how many bad first half calls in games have the effect of keeping the score close, which means more viewers and more ad revenue to the NFL.
Then watch DLaw getting held on every other play last year, beginning right after Jerry challenged Goodell's new contract and the Zeke suspension.
Then tell me you are shocked, shocked that they don't make the rules up as they go along.
Why would anyone follow a sport if they actually believe all of that?

"... speculation that officials were “legislating on the fly” and using the new catch rule doesn’t seem to hold much water, because both rules would’ve had the same result."

Further, there's this on the Clement catch from that "article."
'Referee Gene Steratore, who was mic’d up for the game, said this when explaining the decision to another official, said this:
“It sticks here and then it goes there, but he never loses control. Is there a little ball movement? Yes. But that does not deem
loss of control. You know? It goes from here, sticks on the forearm, right back to the hand, touchdown.” '
If that quote is true, Steratore is quoting the current catch rule that states:
"Note: If a player has control of the ball, a slight movement of the ball will not be considered a loss of possession. He must
lose control of the ball in order to rule that there has been a loss of possession."

But never let the facts get in the way of a CONSPIRACY!
You spend 98% of your time scoffing and trying to disprove conspiracy theories, but it's not getting you anywhere. NO ONE has changed their minds.
Most folks KNOW we don't live in a black and white world. Most folks KNOW the wealthiest 2% have an agenda. Most folks KNOW there are too many coincidences.
Is this particular subject "fishy"? One could easily assume "yes", but who knows?
