The 'what is a catch' rule grates on me....

And when I say 'grates' I mean I hate it. Several rulings in the last few years have proven to me, (obviously it doesn't bother others), that it's ridiculous.... the 'make a football move' IMHO is utter absurdity. Yes, it 'sounds' reasonable... but to me it's anything but.

And ME saying this is perhaps a bit hypocritical. Because being a 'defensive' guy I do not like the trend of making everything favor the offense. But in this one case... a catch is a catch. You have control or you don't... and to me if you have control then 'how long' you have control or what you do after you have control should not matter.

There is always 'judgement' involved with almost any penalty.... and that doesn't bother me. I'm ok with human error. But this rule.. again IMHO... leaves the judgement with such an incredibly huge range of interpretation that's it's ridiculous... and NOT needed... because it's almost ALWAYS possible to determine control... sure, a few exceptions.. big deal.

Geez, I don't rant all that often.... feels kind of good. I think I should do this more often.
