The NFL sent a memo to all 32 teams on Tuesday to remind players to “clearly” report as eligible receivers after a controversial officiating decision ended Saturday’s Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys game.
Not only is the process of the catch a thing, it took the owners 2.5 years AFTER the ref made up some bullshit on Calvin’s catch to make it a rule. Because it broke the whole passing game. They needed over 2 years to come up with some rule to fit the nonsense without killing modern football.
THAT is the length the NFL will go to cover up referee mistakes.
