This happened during tonight's Monday Night game. Philadelphia is the offense, Minnesota is the defense. Phildelphia's QB (McNabb) received a hand-to-hand snap, threw a backward pass to a RB, and after the RB scrambled he threw a pass to McNabb (he wanted to throw to someone else, but I guess he was covered).
Apparently in the NFL if the QB received the snap under center, he is an not eligible receiver, but he is eligible if he receives a shot gun snap. What kind of rule is this? And I though the NF had a ton of crazy rules.

I'm watching the game as well, and my understanding is that the NFL has way more weird rules than other rulesets do. And if you thought that was bad, I've heard that the timing rule sn the NFL are very odd.

Looks like the long bomb TD to Owens was not a TD - he was down at the half yard line.
Edit: I wuz just gunna say what Michaels said - you should be able to look at a TD even after the PAT - as long as it's before the kick-off. [Edited by JugglingReferee on Sep 20th, 2004 at 11:44 PM]

Yet another oddity of NFL rulings:
There was just offsides on the Vikings (kicking team) and they enforced the 5 yard penalty at the end of the run instead of bringing it back and rekicking or giving the receiving team the option to decline the penalty and take the results. Yet more odd rules...

Actually, the offsides on the kicking team is being added to the end of the return in the NCAA as well. It happened to Georgia Southern Saturday (crushed Wofford! Wohoo!) and it freaked me out. "What the heck are they doing?!" I said at one point. Looked it up when I got home, and sure enough... it was right.
And you're correct, after an OOB play in the NFL the clock starts on the whistle with more than 5 minutes left in the game. I believe it's 2 minutes in the 1st half, but don't hold me to that.

Somehow my post got messed up so let me fix. I was saying that I thought that Ownes TD wasn't even a completion let alone a touch down, atleast IMO.
One other thing is I feel bad for the WH(Tony Corrente?) when he stuttered, I'm sure he was kicking himself in the locker room. I'd probaly be the same, talking infront of load of people in the stadium, not to mention the rest on the TV/Radio.
