REPLY: Right! Ask Jerry Markbreit about his call (non-call) with Oakland's Kenny Stabler's intentional 'fumble' against San Diego some years back. According to Markbreit who thought it was truly fumbled because he was behind Stabler, it ended up about 30yards downfield in SD's end zone where Dave Casper jumped on it. It was the play that added the "Markbreit Rule" to the NFL rule book, which is the genesis of the NCAA and NFL 4th down fumble and fumble OOB rules. I admit, I don't fully know the NFL rule. Hope I never have a rule named after me!
