Say what??

This tag play was far from impossible. If, as others have stated, he hadn't been so close and so high above the play, and hadn't been moving at the time, chances are he would've easily seen it.

The propensity for these guys to be that danged close to a play never ceases to amaze me. Maybe they do it to convince fans and the media that they are "right on top of it", but they should know better that that isn't the best position.
