BBR: I believe this is in the case book but I'm not 100% sure. I tried to look it up online (don't have the case book with me) AND I can't get online because I forgot my id.

I would take the scenario a step further to tell the fan inquiring that if he think's THAT'S a bad interpretation then make the scenario all that more crazy....

A's ball 4th and 10 on A45. The punter runs past the LOS to the A48 then circles back behind, punts the ball which goes beyond the LOS when a strong wind blows it back, he then catches his own punt at the A40, then throws a forward from the A38 which is caught at B's 45 and advanced for a TD.

I have a legal TD!

BBR...tell him that 'not liking a rule' and a 'bad interpretation' are two very different things!

Not in the online casebook. At least that I saw.

Maybe if you pasted in the rulebook section regarding "illegal forward passes," he might be able to read it.

Other than that, not much you can do. It's a "rules discussion" I've gotten into before - seems to me that it's a myth from somewhere, since no one believes the correct interpretation.
