It sucks! Plain and simple. tom Brady fumbled the ball against Oakland. He didn't tuck it! I have enjoyed watching the Pats over the past few years don't get me wrong but the tuck rule is for sissies. And that other group that Bartman is a secret operative for.

...It's existence. It's hard, fast and requires no judgment.

<I><font color = cyan>Under the rule, a quarterback's throwing motion begins when he raises the ball in his hand and begins to move his arm forward; that motion doesn't end until the quarterback tucks the ball back against his body, making him a runner. If the ball comes loose any time in between, it's an incomplete pass, not a fumble. Only if the quarterback reloads -- and raises the ball again to start a new throwing motion -- can he fumble, as long as the ball is knocked loose before his arm begins to move forward again.</I></font>

There are body parts that fit that description, but that doesn't mean we have to see them...

(Wow, that cyan sure makes my eyes water!)

I meant it as a joke. I am from Boston and felt it was a fumble as did everyone I was watching the game with.

I know you were joking. It is hard to tell sometimes on here whether or not somebody is dead serious or joking. I figured you were joking as was I.

tuck rule, (hmmmm)

You were joking?

So, ...<LI>You think it's a good rule.<LI>You think Brady did not fumble?<LI>You think Brady tucked it?<LI>You have not enjoyed the Pats?<LI>You think the tuck rule is for real men?

Re: tuck rule, (hmmmm)
 

In terms of being upset that he said "What is wrong with the tuck rule" I was joking. But, I do not like the tuck rule, Brady fumbled (Oakland wins the superbowl, Bledsoe remains a Patriot, and the Cowboys are still wishing they didn't release Carter), the tuck rule is for sissies, and I have actually enjoyed the Patriots the past few years. They have done it the right way. Through the draft!!!

Are we on the same page now?

I wish I still was a kid!

Re: Re: tuck rule, (hmmmm)
 

Actually I think it was justice delayed. The Patriots got screwed by a couple of calls against Oakland in 1976.

Re: Re: tuck rule, (hmmmm)
 

Yeah, I was on your page before I wasted your time. ;)
I agree, with you about the Patriots.
And further, I still think they are the best "team" in any current professional sport.

There are body parts...umm...never mind.

Please note, for the record, that I very studiously ignored that one when it was posted.

It wasn't easy, but I persevered.

Getting back to the "baseball" thread - GO WHITE SOX!!!
