Here's the question I have on this.
In 2002, the NFL changed the rule involing the pylon. The old rule stated that a player was out of bounds if he touched the pylon (no matter where he is on the field).
I'm confused on what the new rule says (I have two links that counter each other).
"A player will be ruled in bounds if he touches the pylon at the goal line before going out of bounds. For example, a pass would be considered complete if one foot touches the pylon and the other foot is in bounds."

"A player no longer can be ruled out of bounds when he touches a pylon unless he already touched the boundary line."

Here's a picture of the play
Is a play a catch, if a player catches the ball, one foot touches in bounds and the other touches the pylon.
