I was watching the BC/ W Virg game yesterday when the BC QB threw to his reciever on the sideline, who made the catch and then went OB. The announcer then went on to say how it was clear that the BC player had gone out of bounds before he came back in to make the catch and that the officials had "flat missed it". He even stuck to this after the replays were shown. He then went on to explain the rule regarding offensive players going OB and being the first to touch the ball blah blah blah...

A few plays later, the sideline reporter reported that he was at that part of the field during the play and that the FJ had nailed it - the reciever was real close, but had stayed inbounds, therefore legal play.

Have any of you guys ever heard of or seen a commentator being absolutely wrong, even after seeing the play again, or misstating a rule?
This is great.
