Oh, and I forgot the ruling where it's okay to hit Trent Green in the head during a slide, but it's not okay to do it for other quarterbacks (except maybe Charlie Frye).

We hadda nuther weird call in Oakland yesterday. Raider TE catches a long pass deep in Rams territory & spikes the ball in celebration. It bounces up & contacts a Rams player. 15 yards for taunting. I guess you can spike the ball unless it touches an opposing player afterwards.... in that case its a personal foul.

That rule of having to have a cover sheet for the TPS reports still boggles my mind.

I posted the following (about the blocked punt) in another thread but it fits here too:
"I think they should change the rule so that the ball has to travel at least 10 yards before it can be live by being touched. Such a rule would have rewarded us for the good play and penalized therm for the poor one, instead of the other way around. But once they adjust the rule like that, watch for us to have our punt blocked and not get the benefit of the current rule. It always seems to go against us and for the other team. In fact, except for the wierd ending in Cleveland a few years ago, I don't recall an obscure rule ever going in favor of the Chiefs." |

I didn't see that one, UD, but wasn't there another bizarre penalty against the Raiders in a recent game? I was wracking my brain trying to remember.

I think referees are intimidated by Marty since he's always on the competition committee and supposedly has a scholar's knowledge of the rules...
He probably pulled the jedi-mind trick a few times this year. Either way - his luck is about to run out in approximately 4 weeks....

The following play relates to #2 above:
Colquitt throwing the ball forward shovel-pass style and it's ruled a fumble. |

If the touch is the ruling, then any time anyone first blocks the punt, the ball is live and if the kicking team recovers, they should get the first down. The first contact the receiving team makes is on the block...
And Trent Green slid into a diving lineman. He should have known better. The lineman was giving himself up, much like Bart Simpson windmilling, closing his eyes, and walking forward, if you get hit, it's your fault. (That is sarcasm, so please don't take it seriously). |

Colquitt CLEARLY was attempting to pass. Jackson CLEARLY wasn't attempting to pass. The disparity in the calls is stupid. |
