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.

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.

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.

You were joking?

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

    • 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?

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

    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.

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

    It wasn't easy, but I persevered.
