[OKREF]

All I know is it looks incredibly overt and on purpose.

If you work football, I doubt that would ever have been called until now.

If this was called we would have had an entirely different discussion. Then the media would have talked about how bad the rule was and how the Seahawks got screwed.

I do work football. It still looks overt and on purpose, the media would also be saying that the official made the right call according to the rule.

It did not look "overt" to me. Not with all the plays I have seen in football of a loose ball.

Oh, you mean the same media that said that the "tuck rule" was a horrible rule? Of when the media said Dez Bryant made a catch even the fact the rule says they did not make a catch?

Be careful what you think the media will support as we have very recent evidence the media likes to play the "This is what should have happened" game often when it involves things they do not understand.

K. J. Wright later admitted that he did it on purpose.
