Rules, Rules and More Stupid Rules.....

So I'm watching a football game today (big surprise, I know)....and it just seems like the rules keep getting dumber and dumber. Don't hit too hard, someone might get hurt. It's fucking FOOTBALL. Anyway, the "rule" I am referring to (and I use the term rule loosely) is this. The guy catches the ball....in the endzone, gets both feet on the ground, extends his full body length and hits the ground. Touchdown. The defender lands on him and the ball pops out. The referee runs up and signals an incomplete pass....WTF? How in the hell is that incomplete? The challenge flag is thrown and as the refs review the play, J and I debate how the call will go. I say TD. J says incomplete, "The guy didn't make a football like move." Again, WTF? Last time I checked catching the f-ing ball in the endzone would be considered football like. Much to my annoyance, of course J was right and the call stood as an imcomplete pass. And the referee actually used the words the receiver, "Did not make a football like move." while catching the ball. Seriously....the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. Just let the game be played. Throwing, catching, kicking and of course hitting. Stop with the bullshit, dumbass rules already.
