 Of course, the ground can actually cause a fumble!  If a guy goes airborn and the first thing to hit the ground is the ball and it pops out, the ground did cause the fumble!
I do hate it when I hear people say the ground can't cause a fumble.  I know announcers have a job to do and generally they do a good job but they don't understand the rules and spread things like this too often.
