they should have clarified it instead of saying the ball went out of bounds they should have said the ball hit an out of bounds player. they didn't say that though which makes that call BS

"clearly hit his forearm"

That is ridiculous. Nothing was clear about it. I doubt they would have overturned the call but it wasn't clear by any means.

Definitely hit his forearm, Ron. It was the right call, but I feel the Cards should have been able to challenge it just because I hate these dead ball rulings where the refs frick up and no one can fix it.

In other news, the return of McBlow is in fullswing. Somewhere Rush Limbaugh is laughing

So....you agree with him? I think you guys are reading what he said wrong. (Either that or I am.)

McNubb is sure good at throwing those 5 yard dump offs and screen passes.

The only thing ridiculous is people too blind to watch the ball change it's motion in mid air. The ball was lifting into the air without rotation. It hits the players arm, then starts spinning.

It's the exact same way people review tipped balls. If the motion of the ball changes, more than likely it was tipped. This was a huge change in motion of the ball.

Beyond seeing it hit the players arm, it can CONCLUSIVELY be determined it hit the player by watching the motion of the ball.
