Rut, to quote one of your posts on another thread, stop it. I have to agree with Camron's take. If you wouldn't call a travel, that's fine. The way you're describing the situation, though, reminds me of Bill Clinton's "it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is" line from the Lewinsky hearings.

I could slow the video down a little more but that would just take up time. Burke caught the ball. Again, if you wouldn't call a travel that's cool. You're not the only one. This really isn't one of those plays where we need to go over the act of catching the ball like it's the Zapruder film.
