Sooooooo, The Lions game today, If you haven't seen it you have probably heard about it.
Calvin Johnson (one of the best, if not THE best WR) jumps above some dudes.
Catches the ball.
Lands on two feet.
Falls to the ground, his butt and left hand touch the ground.
Ball touches ground.
CJ leaves the ball on the ground and celebrates (rightfully so).
The ref closest to CJ calls it a touchdown and then goes to the booth for review and is called incomplete.
BULL
BULL
BULL
BULL
BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
Any little kid that has ever played two hand touch, would know that is a fair catch! I just couldn't believe it. First im yelling woo hoo! Then im yelling ****. Just crap, the rule is crap, the refs are crap, and anybody who thinks this was a good and fair ruling is crap.
