re: Best picture of PP Interception

He does not have control in that pic.

the ball never moves out of his control once it hits his hands. He never bobbles the ball. Once it hit his hands, it stuck. He had control immediately

PP would have had to catch the ball with both hands, bring it into his chest, cover it with both arms and take at least two more steps inbounds.

No

send it to Pardon the Interruption. they aren't scared to be controversial.

From where I was sitting, I was blocked by the LSU sideline, but two things stood out to me at the time. The first was that when the ref announced on the stadium PA, his words were "The ruling on the field is -----" The stadium PA went out. No one in the stands knew what the ruling on the field was. Second, during the review, the bama fan sitting in front of me was listening to Eli Gold's broadcast of the game and he turned around and told everyone around us that Eli says its and interception.

Look at his left foot in that photo. It is clearly coming up off the ground right past the 31 yard line. If you look at other photos, this step (the one his left foot is coming up from) is his second step with the ball in his hands and is the same step as the one that left the infamous sod mark. This photo shows his right foot either already down or mere centimeters from stepping down, which is the second step with his right foot. This angle clears up any questions about whether his right foot came down in bounds or not. So, even if you argue that he did not have possession with the 1st in bounds step of his right foot or even with the first in bounds step of his left foot, he got a THIRD foot down in bounds. He did not juggle the ball at all, he caught it soundly in his hands and pulled it in just as a receiver would normally try to do to establish possession.

What an absolute travesty.

I don't give a rat's arse if he was standing right next to Julio when the play was made. It's perfectly understandable how the guys on the field could miss the call. It was a bang-bang play.

My problem with the entire episode is that some guy is paid to sit in a booth and watch SLOW MOTION REPLAYS of plays so that the correct call is made, yet he still can't get it right!!!! That's my beef.

It's not just this play, either. There have been dozens of others in SEC games over the last five or six years, and it seems to just get worse and worse.

It should have been an easy call to make. The overhead end zone view CBS had shows clearly that Peterson had his left foot in bounds. All the replay official has to do is ask the truck to freeze the frame at that moment then give him another view from that exact time code, and he can decide from another angle whether the catch was made.

It ain't rocket science. Believe me. I've worked dozens of ballgames, and the person who runs the replay for the game can sync up the views and give it to the replay booth in split screen if they want.

I don't know if it's just a case of not wanting to make the officials on the field look bad, or what, but when you have the luxury of getting to look at a play in SLOW MOTION, there is simply no excuse to still get it wrong unless you are brain-dead.
