No "personal" skin to skin contact? No foul? Right? What difference does it make what comes between Brooke Shields and her jeans, or between two players, a jersey, a basketball, or nothing (skin to skin contact)? Does it, or doesn't it, matter, or make a difference?

Seriously Billy? The jersey pushes an opponent?
