One of my new favorite internet finds:
Knee Jerk's NFL Monday Press Conference:
Jamie Porch, NY Nightly Times: Good morning, Knee. Week after week we come in here and discuss rules issues from the Sunday games -- the one that won't go away is the big "is it a catch?" question. Considering the Odell Beckham Jr. overturned touchdown yesterday against the Patriots, where do you stand on the job the NFL is doing on defining what is and isn't a catch?
Knee Jerk: The thing about a catch is...it depends on the...it obviously depends on the angle of the a...of the a...I mean, based on the interpretation of Rule 17 A......or B...it's clear that once a player has established the integrity of the...of the...keep in mind that control of the football before...before the defenseless player's crown...unless of course, the ground can't cause a football move. Then it's a catch. Simple.
To answer your question, the game has improved so much under Roger Goodell, words can't accurately describe the better-ness. The NFL is doing a super-terrific job on defining catches, frankly I'm surprised you needed to ask. The public just isn't smart enough to understand the awesomeness.
