Marcus Rock says it was not a catch due to proper interpretation of the rule at the time

I laugh at that; you look at all the other catches in other games rule OK and they were often MUCH MORE QUESTIONABLE than this

The officials blew the call; and the League admitted it years later

He’s correct under the rule at the time it wasn’t a catch, which is why the call on the field was overturned in replay. The rule has since been changed, and it would now be a catch. I’m certainly not going to waste my time arguing it again. It was a horrible rule and that play led to the rule being changed.

MVP caliber actually but you just knew they were going to give it to Rodgers.

I cannot explain why but my fandom changed forever that day. I was never the nervous wreck, depressed, joyous, rabid fan I was my entire life after that game. Maybe I just finally matured, maybe it's Jerry, the league, or maybe something else I'm not aware of but it's just not the same.

You said this perfectly. My fandom was forever changed after that play.

I now only casually watch out of boredom and habit. I am no longer emotionally attached to sports (sports are really pointless in the grand scheme of things anyways).

If they win……fine. If they lose…..fine.
I don’t really care either way.

Wow, just the other day you were saying you were a "new poster" asking if I always defend the refs. Today you know my years of posting history here being "new" and all. That's kinda funny.

And you can laugh all you want but you surely can't explain a catch via the rules.

And the officials did not admit they blew the call later. You emotional people interpreted them changing the rule as admitting it was the wrong call as such but they merely changed the rule. Today it would be a catch, then it wasn't. If they admitted a wrong call, provide a link that it was anything other than changing the rule. You can't, so you won't. But I'll cut you a break since you're "new" and all. Lol. Can a liar be trusted to provide anything upright?
