Uncatchable

[bisonlj]

What if the receiver gives up on the ball BEFORE he's interviewed with. Essentially saying it's not catchable or at least he's not going to try to catch it?

Heh...cute typo, hits home for job seekers.

Anyway, if the contact was against a team A player who wasn't attempting at that time to catch the pass, how does it qualify as interference, regardless of the catchability of the ball? If the contact was against a team B player during the down before the pass, it could still be interference because it would be silly to have to presume he was preparing for an interception of a ball that hadn't been thrown yet.
