NFL Adds New Clarifications to Catches, Still Has Me Confused

As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I am still a little butt hurt over a certain catch. You all know which one I am talking about to. The league added some stuff to the rule book this week, but it still doesn't help anything in my opinion.

The now infamous Dez Bryant catch has become a hot topic this offseason. When I have Eagles and Redskins fans coming up to me saying it was a catch, their is a serious problem. Apparently the rule is exactly the same, just terminology in the phrasing of the rule is changing. What the hell, thanks NFL.

A receiver, Dean Blandino said, must "clearly establish himself as a runner" in order for his catch to be considered a catch. This is the latest iteration in a concerted effort to apply reason to something that is hard to reason. At first, the receiver had to make "a football move," then it was a move "common to the game," and now it's "clearly establish himself as a runner."

I don't care what you tell me, Dez Bryant caught that ball. I am adopting what former Supreme Court justice adopted on a certain case. "I know it, when I see it" Potter Stewart. That was a damn catch and the Cowboys should have moved onto the NFC championship.
