“You hear some form of this in virtually every broadcast, much to everyone’s regret. I am well aware that this language exists for a reason. We all want the act of catching a football to be simple, but it’s not always so clear cut. What if you land on a beaver BEFORE you hit the ground? What then?! Hence, you get things like “the process” and “the demonstration of runnerdom” coming up on every controversial replay. As always, the NFL wants to be fair and good, and in their idiotic nobility they have farted all over themselves by adhering to a bunch of clumsy overwrought bullshit.”– report by Dew Magary
