Did the league make a mistake allowing the big screen tv. I keep hearing how the kickers were having trouble avoiding it.

I assume you won't get a rekick so is it an advatage like how broncos at milehigh.

I think when it's a simultaneous event, where the knee and the ball touch. It goes where the ball is. But it was pretty clear that Crayton's knee touched before the ball did.

I could be wrong, though. But I always thought it was where the knee touches.

No. It's the ball, that's why the player's knee doesn't have to be in the endzone to score a TD.

Unless the knee clearly touches before the ball is extended. I can see in situations where the knee and the ball touch simultaneously. But it was pretty clear, at least to me, that Crayton's knee touched way before he extended the ball.

At any rate, it's no big deal. We converted anyway.

Well ya I would say he is better now because he is what 6 years younger then Gonzalez, but Gonzalez plays the same as he did when he was Witten's age. Hopefully when Witten is 33 he is still playing to the level he is today. But like most "experts" say on tv, Gonzalez is the best ever.

Well, I'd say that Witten is just as good as Gonzales was at this time in his career.

I'm not saying you're making a ridiculous argument or anything. But, I do think this is very subjective. I think a case could be made for either player, or a few others.

I disagree. If a player's knee touches and then the player extends the ball into the endzone, that won't be a touchdown.

Well duh... that's not at all what I was talking about.

It doesn't matter. When the knee hits, the position of the ball is where the new line of scrimmage will be. If the player hasn't extended prior to the knee being down then its where the ball is. If the player extended prior to the knee being down then its also where the ball is.
