Are you talking about the tuck rule play???

As I recall, that game was during my freshman year of college. I graduated over a month ago.

Give it up!

Maybe he really has a dislike for the New England Patriots. The game with the infamous tuck rule didn't involve the STL Rams. It was Oakland vs New England in a playoff game.

I don't know if the tuck rule has been modified since that time, but it now reads something like this:

A player who begins an intentional movement of his arm forward and afterwards aborts the throw and tries to tuck the football and loses possession, it is ruled an incomplete forward pass. If he recocks his arm to throw and loses it, it is a fumble.
