Tee - sorry if I was confusing.

What I was trying to say was --- can you rule on the situation described? Assuming you can, don't you think that discussing the rules (not necessarily by number) in play will, in general, make those others reading the post better umpires? If not... oh well - I disagree.

PS - I'm not a football guy lurking on the baseball board. I'm a softball/baseball guy (20+ years) who has recently (only 3 years) taken up football officiating. And as a newbie over there, I can attest that discussing odd or possibly even impossible plays has helped me officiate the improbable plays that really do happen.

I guess my overall point in the past 3 or 4 posts is - there's nothing wrong with discussing the bizarro plays on a board. If you choose not to, fine - but there's no reason to denigrate those who do. If NO ONE wants to, well, the post will quickly filter its way down the page and out of sight. I, personally, think there is much to learn in discussing the odd plays. You, obviously differ - but there's no need to berate those that disagree with you.
