REPLY: Mike, Thanks for the kind words. Another (probably more typical) situation would be a punt where K bats the ball toward his goal line (legal) to keep it from entering R's endzone and it bangs off R's leg.
And just to go back to simpson's post. As he described it, yes, in most cases prior to 2004, because of the first touch, R's touching would be irrelevant. But it still would have been touching by R. Now for 2004, you completely ignore the touch. It never happened.
