Going to need a refill on this one.

Shut up. Just shut your stupid **** face, Blandino. I don't want to hear you **** up the definition of catch for a sixth ******* time.

 

[Tabascocat]

I never went to law school but do yas think I can get a seat on SCOTUS? If Blandino can pull off his position, I do not see why I can't!

I'm interesting in seeing how they are going to clear up this mess.

Control + 2 feet down = a catch.

What the hell was ever wrong with this simple and easy-to-apply definition?

Dean Blandummy happened...

I couldn't be any more uninterested at this point.

The rule-book definition of time is to have the ball long enough to clearly become a runner. That means you have the ability to ward off or avoid contact by a defender and advance the football.

It's reasonable to say that looks like a catch (so) it should be a catch. But again, it's when you get back to the consistency of the rule ... we're going to ultimately have plays where it looks like a catch but it isn't by rule.

Twenty-five hours, eight days a week.
Thirteen months outta year, is when you speak.
I'm tired of listening to the garbage you talk.
Why don't you find a short pier, and take a long walk.

You talk too much, then you never shut up!
I said you talk too much Homeboy, you never SHUT UP!

what you have here is a rule with the ability to change the outcome of games if you so desire.

Don't blame Blandino, blame the complicit owners who clearly want some element of subjective guesswork injected into the game. Apparently, controversial calls (and the attention they bring to the game) override any desire to create rules that, you know, make the game better.

Best post of the year thus far, LOL. RIP Jam Master Jay.

Blandino continues to prove he still doesn't get it everytime we venture into this subject.

 

[Jarv]

There is a reason they keep the rule subjective and it isn't good.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Still with the BS to cover up the botched ruling on the Dez catch. People need to be fired but our owner is no longer a maverick

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I miss the old days when no one knew or had reason to care who this idiot was.

Blandino emphasized that officials will continue to focus on a three-box checklist to validate a catch: control plus two feet down plus "a time element." But what that time element truly constitutes remains hazy.

"It's reasonable to say that looks like a catch (so) it should be a catch," Blandino said. "But again, it's when you get back to the consistency of the rule ... we're going to ultimately have plays where it looks like a catch but it isn't by rule."Continue reading...

That right there is the NFL's problem. If you have a play that looks like a catch, but, by rule, it isn't, then you have a bad rule. It's that simple. Blandino is an idiot and the NFL is run by a bunch of arrogant fools. I'm probably overreacting just a wee bit here, but they've gone so far out of their way to try to save face on this catch rule, that they actually just look like a bunch of clowns. I just have this vision of blandino playing his little flute and the competition committee just stumbling merrily along behind him.
