Obviously you neither A) looked at this replay, nor B) have actually watched someone's feet as they run. MOST human beings, when sprinting, will have both of their feet (when the foot hits the ground) nearly directly under their center of gravity - ie: in a straight line. If they don't, they will lose balance or turn.
Football players running down the sideline only have to dance if they are out of balance (falling toward the sideline). I, for one, have run next to hundreds of players down a sideline, where said runner is not "dancing" - and seen both feet hitting the ground nearly in a straight line.
Further - if you would bother to look at the freakin' replay instead of just argue, you would see that he was on a bit of a slant at the end of the run. 5 steps before the ball hit him, his right foot was in the lane, then his left foot was in the lane on the left line, then his RIGHT foot was in the lane on the left line, then his LEFT foot was on the left side of the left line, but still on the line. As his right foot lands squarely on the line, and his left is about to step toward the base (OUTSIDE the lines, I'll add), the ball arrives.

Put a sock in it, kiddie. I looked at the replay in several different manners. I'm not "arguing." I just stated what I saw (and what apparently many others saw, according to many comments I heard on today's sports radio shows).
