Totally dork.

@slickrick740 @Brett_McMurphy You can’r be down until you first have, you know, possession. Bobbling a ball does not equal possession.

[jez @jezmiller]

@PRIMETIME_BUFF @abhirahmantx @UMichFootball @DTE_Energy Dumb. Freeze frame doesn’t show ball is still being bobbled at this point.

[jez @jezmiller]

@pryanbarnes @CoachCaption @MiekWeek @RedditCFB Easy example: if that same catch was made, but replace goal line with sideline, it would be ruled out of bounds.

[jez @jezmiller]

@pryanbarnes @CoachCaption @MiekWeek @RedditCFB He can complere the catch, but the catch doesn’t begin until “The ball is in player possession when a player has the ball firmly in his grasp by holding or controlling it with hand(s) or arm(s) while contacting the ground inbounds.”

A bobbled ball is not firmly in the grasp.

[jez @jezmiller]

@pryanbarnes @MiekWeek @RedditCFB The rule says “1. Secures firm control with the hand(s) or arm(s) of a live ball in flight
before the ball touches the ground” No firm control when receiver knee on ground, ball is bobbled. Firm control didn’t happen until wnd zone.

@Timcast Wrong. Omicron is a variant. Just like a flu shot (itself a cocktail of many flu virus strains) doesn’t protect against all forms of flu virus. However, protection from infection for one strain can minimize effects of another.

It was glorious to have the @timbersarmy return with 80% capacity. @MenInBlazers here’s hoping all #GFOPs get a chance at #PatchAtThePark soon!

@PeterBurnsESPN Thank you from every Pac-12/Big-10/Big-12 fan for making the point SEC wonks like you have dismissed for a decade. One more conference game means a guaranteed loss for 1/2 the conference, and one less guaranteed win against ARK junior college in November. #grewupinannarbor

@pflameslinger Perhaps if you listened to what @kingjebo and other Black people have to say about their own experiences with racism, and reposted Proud Boys less, then maybe you could stop being a self-righteous pedant on twitter. You might be happier with yourself if you did.

Just had the chorus to Lionel Richie’s “Hello” play in my head upon discovering a lefotver half of a burrito in the fridge, in case you are wondering how I’m handling the pandemic today.

Hey @mls, @PROreferees, @dongarber: how many #MLS refs get @FIFA gigs?

[jez @jezmiller]

Agian, this. https://t.co/PKLfuDCOUI If @TimbersFC miss playoffs by 2 points, just remember your @PROreferees decided this game. Also, don’t forget the 13-1 (yikes!!!) foul differential in our last home game!

[jez @jezmiller]

Hey @mls and @dongarber and especially @PROreferees. Take another look at the first @NERevolution goal. Does the the offside player affect the goalie and defender prior to goal? Uhm. You make the call? Oh wait, you SUCK at that.

[jez @jezmiller]

Hey @mls and @dongarber and especially @PROreferees. Your ref gave 2 redcards and 10 penalties in 16 matches. Those are “outlier” numbers to be charitable. In other words “incompetent”. No worries though, playoffs are irrelevant to @mls. Oh, wait…

[jez @jezmiller]

So glad you got it right, @mls, @dongarber and especially @PROreferees, any time a 6’ 2” 180lb player falls forward a second before a backward shirt tug that leads to nothing, you have to call it.

[jez @jezmiller]

Hey @mls and @dongarber and especially @PROreferees. This. This is what is keeping the league from moving forward. When @MLS refs stop being a joke domestically and internationally, maybe the league can earn respect. https://t.co/tcwt4VNyh9

@ErikBacharach The chair is an iBot wheelchair, invented in 2003 by the same guy who invented the segway. Toyota started producing them in 2016. Good summary here: https://t.co/JR0VB1xizx
