@GeneSteratore absolute bs after the fact justification for a terrible - possibly rigged - ref job. cooks caught the ball, was down by contact. at worst, this was dual possession which goes to the offense. shameful and outrageous call. inexcusable. drives me away from the game.

At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time. When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame. For a catch: A) Secure control of the ball ✅ B) Two feet down in bounds ✅ C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so. C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule: If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds. Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.

@united claims severe weather was the cause for the delay. what BS. lightly raining at Dulles. so incompetent and now compounding the delay by LYING about the delay. Flight 330 to Paris. they can’t load cargo on the plane in a timely fashion WHEN WE HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE 2 HRS

@united seriously. this is such bad service. how many people are going to now miss their connections in Paris because you are sitting here at Dulles doing nothing. let’s go! flight 330 to Paris now delayed nearly 2 hours FOR NO GOOD REASON!

No one asked me, but it is fascinating watching Reading First get analyzed (again) on Sold a Story 20 years after it happened -- and my distinct sense is that we are in danger of the same thing happening again. My take, from someone who reported on it a lonnnnggg time ago 1/n

What a win by @UMichFootball! and oh, @gusjohnson is such an OSU homer. ridiculous how he spends more time hyping OSU players and less time actually calling the damn game. he got a number of calls wrong from an interception by Mich to wrong down and distance calls.

@GRR - the first deicing by truck is out of deicer. so where is the second truck? won’t start! so now they have to fill up the first truck and heat up the deicer. what the heck - this is keystone cops. meanwhile, they are not clearing the runways so we now have to wait for that

hey @GRR and @united why don’t you get your heads out of your asses and figure out how to get a plane in the air. have you ever seen snow? the most incompetent flight operations in a light snow imaginable.

This is what should be a daily reminder to all never to consider working with Banker's Life, which refuses to acknowledge the death of a client (my mother) to continue to bill the deceased monthly. The worst ever. Not even close. Please repost.
