Great, NFL: You're going to make the problem WORSE???

I know there are many more important things to talk about, especially it still being July.

That said, though, there are some things that are done that are such head-scratchers (and lead to such obvious results) that something needs to be said.

Like this Yardbarker article about the new interpretation of the NFL's infamous rule that retired Megatron, the Calvin Johnson Rule...

The new rule, at least as best we can understand it, now adds a third condition to the old interpretation:

You must catch the ball, you must have two feet in bounds or equivalent, and you now must (if possible -- otherwise you can't score a catch on your back) be able to become a runner.

Basically, when in doubt, wave it off as incomplete.

So you now, effectively, need FOUR feet in bounds (the two to gain the catch, and two to become a runner), or you risk having the catch waved off.

Gee, someone might want to ask the mafioso running the referees Mr. Blandino about the Super Bowl XLIII winning catch by Santonio Holmes.  There's no way, under the current interpretation, that could be a catch!
