Can refute! Detroit fan here. That was b.s. However that was 2010. The refs screwed the team in 2012, 2014 (twice in the season, a third time in the playoffs), 2015, and 2017. By either refusing to make obvious penalty calls, refusing to see the obvious that a player was down, or mis-interpretation of a rule. The 2010 game may be the first and most well known nationally, but it's been overshadowed.
I was on the fence with the Calvin Johnson Rule until you brought up the point about the Cowboys. Its hard for me to be against any rule that screws them.
I agree with the rule on the home plate collisions. I saw Ray Fosse's career die when Rose catapulted into him at home during an All-Star game. Wonder how many kids emulated Rose?
1. Catch rule 2. Catch rule 3. Catch rule 4. What's a catch 5. What's a technical or flagrant 6. What's a catch. 7. Can I know what a catch is. 8. Roger Goodell what's a catch 9. WHATS A CATCH 10. And last but not least. Kneeling for the anthem. Syke. What's a catch.
There is zero video evidence in the Dez catch or the Pittsburgh catch the other week that the ball was in the grass. It can move until the cows come home as long as the hand or arm is always between the ball and the grass. That's what I believe happened.
The catch rule should be simple: if they catch it, its a catch! (I know, revolutionary, right?) The application: Jessie James caught the ball, scores, gives Beleckek the finger, Steelers win the game, get home field advantage, win the AFC and then the Superbowl, everyone outside New England is happy.
I agree. It’s to protect their knees. Catchers are vulnerable because they are squatting all game and to get hit hard when you knees are already weak is dangerous.
"The ground cannot cause a fumble" is partly true. If a runner loses the ball by hitting the ground after he is down, then the ground cannot cause a fumble. But if the runner is not touched, trips over his own feet and loses the ball when he hits the ground, then it's a fumble.
blaming the guy that got his leg broken (after he blocked the runner's path to the plate, something you praised) for something the mlb did... that makes total sense
Here's a rule for you. The Superstar Rule. This normally applies to the NBA but can apply to any professional sport. Where superstar players get superstar calls and can flop, travel, or downright mug other players on other teams with no consequences whatsoever. While other players who are not superstars get called for touch fouls, or get downright penalized for even being in the same vicinity as the stars. I.E. Tom Brady and Roughing The Passer calls vs. Dak Prescott getting repeatedly hit in the head this season, or anytime LeBron James takes fifty steps to the rim and gets lightly tapped on the arm and gets an and 1. Or any game featuring James Harden. Or the 2002 Western Conference finals.
OcpCommunications woe... wow... this seems like a huge mess no one wants to get into... dak won't throw the ball away and holds onto it too long and thus gets hit more and doesn't win superbowls and make the nfl money like Tom Brady does... plain and simple... lebrick james travels all the time.... agreed... and gets favorable calls... don't be a bitter Dallas fan bro ;)
Rigged is the correct term. And no one is buying the finals from two years ago either. Cavs down in the series, here comes the refs with a 30 free throw a game disparity to make the series go longer. And you see that or something similar pretty much finals. You almost never get a sweep, even when one conference's team is vastly superior to the other.
I do agree with you in a big way on the NHL offsides challenge. There are several problems with this rule. First of all, the challenge can only happen after a goal is scored, and, in most cases, the goal occurs so long after the zone entry that the legitimacy of the zone entry is no longer relevant, and the overturning of the goal is just too much of a buzzkill. All because a linesman missed a call by a fraction of an inch and didn't whistle the play dead. However, there is no remedy for the opposite case, where a clean zone entry was erroneously whistled dead as offsides. If we must accept an offsides whistle as valid 100% of the time, then we must also accept a zone entry with no offsides whistle as valid 100% of the time.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I'm like, "This guy is pretty good, I'm gonna subscribe." And then, that one sentence comes out of your mouth, I cried that day lmao
Delay of game I think should go up there. At least with how it's enforced. Should just be treated like an icing call. Offsides rule I don't mind, the goalie interference rule is a bit dumber as every ref has a different interpretation and in replay things can look different than in full speed. Instigator rule absolutely is dumb and the Trapezoid rule had a good intention, but it does make the game harder. Another rule that is gone now that I think might have fallen in there is two line pass.
I like the delay of game pen. It makes the game more interesting if you can't just fire the puck out to get a stoppage. Teams shouldn't have an easy way out to alleviate pressure. I hate the offside challenges too, but at least the new rule where if you get it wrong the team gets a pen has had some success in making it almost tolerable. Far less challenges this season. But I think they need to go further with that. Either get rid of offside challenges altogether or institute a time limit and/or conditions after a missed offside call that limit challenges.
Like I said though, it's the way they enforce the delay of game penalty I don't like. No you are correct, a team shouldn't be able to fire the puck out to get a stoppage just like they shouldn't be able to ice it to get a stoppage. That's why the penalty should be a face off in your zone, not allowed to a take a line change and no TV time outs can be taken. It has to be an immediate faceoff. Or in other words treated like an icing since that is essentially what it is. If the official deems the delay of game was intentional then assess a penalty, but most of the time it's just a guy who missed the boards or had the puck flip up on him and go out of play. Heck I've seen where they clear it on a PK and it go out of play on the whole other side of the ice. At the very least they need to change it to, "if the puck leaves the defensive zone then goes out of play it's not a penalty, just a faceoff in the zone again treated like an icing". As far as the offside challenge, really I don't think how they have it set up now is fine. I hear arguments where people say they had it in the zone for a minute or 2 before scoring and the offsides didn't matter, but in a sense it did. I see it all the time where a team can't get it in the zone over and over again, but when they finally do they cycle it over and over again and eventually score. Seems a bit unfair that they only got the cycle set up and scored because they entered the zone illegally. Once it leaves the zone again as far as I see it, that's like there was a face off out there and really if they can get in the zone again legally after that, I have no issue, but in todays game, getting into the zone and setting the puck up plays a big factor in scoring goals, no reason they should be able to do it illegally and it be ok simply because they cycled it for a certain period of time before scoring.
how could the touchback rule not be in here? you get all the way to the goal-line, if you fumble it out at the 1, your retain pos. you fight for the extra yard, it fumbles out of the endzone, touch back, and the other team gets the ball? that rule has got to go.
This is the first video I saw from you, I liked it, it was very informational and I agreed with everything you said. Then, I got to 9:26 and now I take back everything
Is it a coincidence that the team with no Super Bowl appearances has been screwed by my count EIGHT TIMES since the 2010 season? That's if you don't include the backward pass that was called a forward pass early on in the 2011 Saints playoff.
To me, home plate collisions never made any sense even before the "Posey rules." No where else on the base path is a defender allowed to block the running lane. Nowhere else on the path is the runner allowed to intentionally run into the defender (sliding into second was always a loophole type of thing). Why should the catcher be allowed to block home plate (especially without the ball), and why should the runner be allowed to tackle him?
Officials in the NHL have long been allowed to review goals on video replay. They even did so on that Brett Hull skate crease you showed. The Coaches Challenge is just a way for coaches to force officials to review a goal by either goalie interference or offsides. Neither was something officials reviewed in the past. Thank goodness they do it for goalie interference, offsides has had mixed results. The intention is more for when a player skates off sides and continue directly towards the net and quickly scores. The frustrating part is despite the intention the rule can often wipe out goals that occurred way often the offsides happened.
If he set up correctly he would have been fine...Im a catcher and a posey fan but that damn near made me hate him... I loved thopse play at the plate in little league and whatnot...luckily, these highschool and college umps cant tell if im blocking the plate as long as the ball is coming in...I always take 2 steps back and set up right in the middle...If they truck me, thyre out...if i catch the ball first, i get to truck them.
The MLB didn’t change the rule until like 3 years later when another catcher was injured in the postseason. Stop blaming Posey for something that happened years later.
PGA's rule that lets fans call in and report rules violations is also pretty terrible and deserves an honorable mention. Blocking home plate always seemed weird to me. The other three bases never really allowed fielders to obstruct the base from the baserunner, so in a sense making sure home plate is not obstructed also seems like a good rule. Fortunately, they don't adhere to the original Buster Posey rule, so if the throw beats the runner by a lot, whether or not the catcher blocked the plate the runner should be out. Unfortunately, the rule is still almost entirely subjective.
4:23 -- The catcher even had the damn ball by the time the runner was still 5+ feet away. The rule is fair. The call was stupid with respect to the rule. Also, fuck surviving the ground. If you have control of the football with 2 feet in-bounds and either go down or out of bounds, it should be complete. It shouldn't affect whether the pass is completed if you lose control after that point. And I say that as a DC/Baltimore fan who hates both the Cowboys and the Steelers! Let them have their completions and the Ravens and Skins will have theirs.
At 9:15 it is said that "the ground cannot cause a fumble, but it can cause an incomplete". That is technically not true. In the NFL if a ball carrier falls and the impact of the ground on the ball causes a fumble, then it _is_ a fumble and the ball can be recovered by the other team.
If a receivers foot touches the sideline then proceeds to make a catch, the catch is ruled incomplete (even if the ball stays in the field if play). Yet if the ball is over the sideline and the receiver manages to catch it with both feet in bounds, then it's a catch. With this in mind, if a receiver catches the ball over the goal line the play is not dead until the ball is secured or does not touch the ground (unlike crossing the sideline where the play is deemed dead immediately).
That's a good rule. Otherwise every single infield pop up would be "dropped" so they could turn a double play. But the infield fly rule should only apply to the INFIELD, when a INFIELDER is camping under a pop up waiting for it.
That one instance was just a bad call by the umpires. That fly ball was not one where an infielder could catch with relative ease (the shortstop had to chase after it into the outfield to catch it). Normally though, the infield fly rule is solid.
I agree there needs to be an infield fly rule, but instead of calling the batter out automatically, call all runners safe if the infielder drops the ball. Put the pressure on the defense to make the play.
There also was a recent game where the ground DID cause a fumble because the receiver wasn't touched and had taken extra steps, so it was a reception, he tripped on his own, hand and ball hit the ground and knocked it loose with no contact for the receiver to be called down.
The handplay rule in soccer. You'll probably think it's easy. Touch the ball with the hand and it's a foul. WRONG. The rule says that only INTENTIONAL handplay is forbidden. So if you touch the ball by accidant your still fine. Sounds still pretty simple, ight? Now that's until you come to the part where they define what's intentional and what not. One statements are: If the hand moves towards the ball it is deemed being intentional. Another one says is the hand is moving in a natural way when it touches the ball it is deemed unintentional. So what is I make a natural movemant with my hand towards the ball? Well then it's up to the refferee to decide which interpretition he follows. Another example: One statement says if you increase the your size by stretching out your arms it's deemed intentional and again there is a statement saying that if you're holding your arm in a natural position it's deemed unintentional. Again stuff is up for interpretition. In the end this lead to defenders defending with their hands behind the back to not risk giving away a penalty kick for handplay and situations where somebody clearly touches the ball with the hand, but it's deemed unintentional and not called as a foul.
The offside rule in Soccer is unnecessarily complicated as well. Probably now the hardest rule to enforce in sports. In the old days offside was called when the ball crossed the line (marked by the second to last defender including goalie). Now it is when the ball is kicked so the linesman has to see 2 things at once. Also previously if anyone was offside, it was offside. Now you have to "interfere with the play". What the heck are players doing on the field if they aren't "interfering with the play". It was all designed to eliminate the "offside trap" and hopefully increase scoring. But scoring in soccer is already comparable to football if you divide by 7, and much higher than basketball where most games essentially end within a few %. 102-98 is essentially a tie game.
Sean Nicol I remember when they didn't freeze the field when there was a caution and had to race back to the line. That was when NASCAR was still fun, more dangerous but fun.
That 7:13-ish cat or kid made the video. Despite the comedy and the hardcore sports, reminds me that you're just a dude getting this shit done. Keep it up, man! (And screw the Irish's coach. Not relevant, but still, that dude killed a kid)
The REAL dumbest rule occurred in College Football during week 2 (if I can think of the game I will post it) and it happens every now and then. Let me 1st say the Officials rule it right every time I have ever seen it happen in any level of Football. And the coaches, players and fans always go NUTS as if they have never heard of this BS rule before in their lives. The rule: Fumble out of your opponents End Zone equals Touchback and Loss of Ball. But more so that even that... Fumble out of your opponents EndZone through the "Extended Goal Line". So... get this. Your team gets the ball on it's own 5-yard line... 95 yards away from scoring a TD. You move the ball and every time you get Tackled you FUMBLE the Football and it rolls out-of-bounds. I know that is unlikely but follow along. So the football goes out-of-bounds on the 7. You keep the ball and next snap is on the 7. It goes out on the 23. You keep the ball. Next snap on the 23. It goes out on the 41. You keep the ball. Next snap on the 41. You cross midfield... ...And It goes out on the 38. You keep the ball. Next snap on the 38. It goes out on the 17. You keep the ball. Next snap on the 17. You are really doing great and it looks like you are going to score. BUT... on the next play you are reaching for the pylon and you get tackled on the 1... ... the ball rolls out-of-bound just outside the pylon... OVER the "Extended Goal Line"... Touchback. You LOSE POSSESSION. Your opponent gets the ball on the 20. No points for you. No new play on the 1 yard line for you. SO many fans and it appears coaches and players do not know about the "Extended Goal Line". And why would you know about it? It isn't marked by ANYTHING usually. And NOBODY really reads the Football Rules Books except for Refs. And even when most people DO read the Rules Books they are looking up 1 or 2 things not reading it like a Bible. Only Refs do that. The "Extended Goal Line" is your friend when you Break the Plane of the Goal Line WITH the Ball near the Pylon... because you get a Touchdown. But not when you Fumble over it. Your teammate cannot even RECOVER the ball for a Touchdown to save the day (like he could if you Fumbled into the End Zone). Because the "Extended Goal Line" (and the Pylon for that matter) is out-of-bounds. Yes... the "Extended Goal Line" and the Pylon are technically BOTH... IN the End Zone AND out-of-bounds. And all of these thing I mentioned here and maybe more MEANS you need to make at least 1 more video because you left off THE WORST RULE in FOOTBALL.
With the Buster Posey rule, umps usually make the common sense call live and replay screws it up. If something isn't immediately obvious within 30 seconds of review the call should stand.
Posey had no say in the rule change. All he did was break his leg and come back to be a World Series champ yet again.. I don't see how you can hate a guy for that
If i was the NFL's comissioner my rules would be 1. The player who is catching the ball has both hands on the ball, it is a catch 2. Sideline catches: If the player is catching the ball on the sideline, the player must have each leg has to make contact it can be the smallest touch on the ground but as soon as both legs touch the ground 2.1: Sideline catches: If the player catches the ball but no legs make contact on the ground BUT if the player decided to dive for the catch and the player's entire body lands INSIDE the field it is a catch meaning that as soon as a piece of equipment touches the outside line it is not a catch 3. Touchdown catches. If the player fulfills rule number 1 (both hands or a significant control with one hand) and rule number 2 (each legs making contact on the ground or if the player's entire body lands inside the endzone) it is a touchdown. 4. If the player loses control of the ball AFTER making contact with is feets/legs it is still a touchdown. FUCK THE CALVIN JOHNSON RULE IT'S SHIT
YOLOMonsieurQcYOLO thats too much, just make it so that if two feet or any body part other than the hands are in bounds and thr ball is controlled (I.e not bobbling, or loose in a players hands) then its a catch, and anything afterwards that happens has no effect on that
Trikkage i wanted to make it as confusing as the nfl's rulebook Plus i will say if fivepoints liked my comment i'm gonna say it was alright but i did it confusing just for fun
The problem is that if you do that, you'll have a bunch of "completions" in the middle of the field that are now completion-contact-fumble. And in the defensive secondary where those passes get caught it's usually 1 receiver and 2-3 CBs/Safeties/LBs, so the defense is going to recover a lot of those fumbles. That's (part of) why the rule is the way it is - the NFL doesn't want 20 extra turnovers per season per team.
The intent is to provide players with a you don't know for sure that his hand wasn't under the ball. Had they called it an incomplete catch, reviewed it, and confirmed the call, then it would have been the correct call. But since they didn't have conclusive evidence that his hand wasn't under the ball, it's an awful call. Anyways, that's just my opinion
STEELERS NATION + Wasn't a catch and hasn't been one for years. It's the NFL there's no excuse to water it down by saying you caught it when you can't even control it? Shit is stupid too many immature fans want rule changes every time they lose a game. Act like the refs should break the rules redefine a catch during the game. Where was steeler nation when this same shit happend to so many other teams? Tomlin wasn't asking for rules to be revisited then. Just petty immature people that think it matters now when it happens to them.
Spritzer AK4U again, no conclusive evidence of the ball ever hitting the ground. If they had initially ruled it a catch it should have stayed as such, because there was not conclusive evidence to overturn the call. Get your head out of your assistance and quit trying to cause issues without having facts to back you up
Marshall Phoenix + No evidence? So clear video of him losing the ball when his hands hit the ground isn't conclusive evidence? If my head is in my ass for seeing the truth then where is yours at when you watch the video?
As a catcher, I hate the plate block rule. I can see it tho since i singlehandedly changed the same rule in my little league lol. I broke a kids nose as he came from 3rd and tried to run me over. Next week, rule changed. I hated the new rule so much. 5th grade season was interesting to say the least
Christian Thompson I know it’s ridiculous. I saw a play where a receiver and db both dove for a ball and they happened to hit each other in the head and the db was tossed. It’s ridiculous
In disc golf during a PDGA event, if a player or their caddie were to open a beer. AFTER finishing the round, but before turning in their card. The player is disqualified from the event.
The Engie That Cried Nope how the fuck is it Buster Posey’s fault that MLB put a rules in after he got knocked out in a game. Both you and the maker of this video put down a player for being in the wrong place. Kiss off you inconsiderate piece of dog shit. So do you blame Chase Utley for that bullshit rule. Just because the media names a rule after a person it does not mean that that person pushed anyone to make a new rule. So shut the fuck up.
Dude, Buster Posey didn't ruin collisions intentionally. HIS F-ING LEG WAS BROKEN IN THE PLAY. The MLB obviously didn't want that to keep happening, so they changed the rules. It's not his fault, he was doing what any catcher should've been doing in that scenario, and his leg just happened to break. He didn't ask for the rule to be changed, that was all the MLB's doing. So stop blaming a player for something that they couldn't have controlled. Why am I getting a sneaking suspicion that you're a Dodgers fan?
You'd have to agree that the Miami/Cincinnati game was a totally blown call, though. The runner didn't even attempt to slide and yet still gets called safe because the catcher had to step into the baseline to receive the ball? It's a dumb rule and Redmond was right to be pissed.

from the bench.

Sooooooooooo happy you included the offside challenge. Dumbest rule in all of sports.
Sorry, but as far as hockey goes... Instigator rule and trapezoid zone rule are way worse.
Delay of game I think should go up there. At least with how it's enforced. Should just be treated like an icing call. Offsides rule I don't mind, the goalie interference rule is a bit dumber as every ref has a different interpretation and in replay things can look different than in full speed. Instigator rule absolutely is dumb and the Trapezoid rule had a good intention, but it does make the game harder.
Another rule that is gone now that I think might have fallen in there is two line pass.
I like the delay of game pen. It makes the game more interesting if you can't just fire the puck out to get a stoppage. Teams shouldn't have an easy way out to alleviate pressure. I hate the offside challenges too, but at least the new rule where if you get it wrong the team gets a pen has had some success in making it almost tolerable. Far less challenges this season. But I think they need to go further with that. Either get rid of offside challenges altogether or institute a time limit and/or conditions after a missed offside call that limit challenges.
Like I said though, it's the way they enforce the delay of game penalty I don't like. No you are correct, a team shouldn't be able to fire the puck out to get a stoppage just like they shouldn't be able to ice it to get a stoppage. That's why the penalty should be a face off in your zone, not allowed to a take a line change and no TV time outs can be taken. It has to be an immediate faceoff. Or in other words treated like an icing since that is essentially what it is. If the official deems the delay of game was intentional then assess a penalty, but most of the time it's just a guy who missed the boards or had the puck flip up on him and go out of play. Heck I've seen where they clear it on a PK and it go out of play on the whole other side of the ice. At the very least they need to change it to, "if the puck leaves the defensive zone then goes out of play it's not a penalty, just a faceoff in the zone again treated like an icing".
As far as the offside challenge, really I don't think how they have it set up now is fine. I hear arguments where people say they had it in the zone for a minute or 2 before scoring and the offsides didn't matter, but in a sense it did. I see it all the time where a team can't get it in the zone over and over again, but when they finally do they cycle it over and over again and eventually score. Seems a bit unfair that they only got the cycle set up and scored because they entered the zone illegally. Once it leaves the zone again as far as I see it, that's like there was a face off out there and really if they can get in the zone again legally after that, I have no issue, but in todays game, getting into the zone and setting the puck up plays a big factor in scoring goals, no reason they should be able to do it illegally and it be ok simply because they cycled it for a certain period of time before scoring.
dude I just love your vids. thanks.

(Edit: ua-cam.com/video/bZC4Onsikdg/v-deo.html is the video. Clip is from 7 minutes 27 seconds)
Fuck you Spanos
Duuude!! That last comment made me laugh out loud! “Cuz fuck the Cowboys.” 😂😂😂
bruh the steelers and patriots game had me like the guy in the beginning bruh i was soooooo heated
But it was the right call...
Technical no it's wasn't the right call. That catch involves a little rule considering the goal line.
how could the touchback rule not be in here? you get all the way to the goal-line, if you fumble it out at the 1, your retain pos. you fight for the extra yard, it fumbles out of the endzone, touch back, and the other team gets the ball? that rule has got to go.
Yo do you have a parrot, or cocktail, or some other type of bird? I'm pretty sure you can hear it in the back ground at 7:13 in the video hahaha
Best rule changes in sports? Great vid as always btw
9:25 Is the most factually accurate sentence ever spoken, on any topic, to have ever involved sports.
This is the first video I saw from you, I liked it, it was very informational and I agreed with everything you said. Then, I got to 9:26 and now I take back everything
Lol we can still be friends
The Biased Ref Rule in Football. The team more likely to win get better calls.
Emma Helfa i.e The Detroit Lions
Is it a coincidence that the team with no Super Bowl appearances has been screwed by my count EIGHT TIMES since the 2010 season? That's if you don't include the backward pass that was called a forward pass early on in the 2011 Saints playoff.
Patriots suck

How was the runner called safe when he never even touched home plate
THATS WHERE THE RAGE COMES FROM
Of course we remember this as "the Calvin Johnson rule" that left me screaming in a pillow
To me, home plate collisions never made any sense even before the "Posey rules."
No where else on the base path is a defender allowed to block the running lane. Nowhere else on the path is the runner allowed to intentionally run into the defender (sliding into second was always a loophole type of thing). Why should the catcher be allowed to block home plate (especially without the ball), and why should the runner be allowed to tackle him?
Officials in the NHL have long been allowed to review goals on video replay. They even did so on that Brett Hull skate crease you showed. The Coaches Challenge is just a way for coaches to force officials to review a goal by either goalie interference or offsides. Neither was something officials reviewed in the past. Thank goodness they do it for goalie interference, offsides has had mixed results. The intention is more for when a player skates off sides and continue directly towards the net and quickly scores. The frustrating part is despite the intention the rule can often wipe out goals that occurred way often the offsides happened.
Posey ruined the catcher position
Man i want to see more players to have broken legs and ankles because that is fun right?
bob tyler yes
If he set up correctly he would have been fine...Im a catcher and a posey fan but that damn near made me hate him... I loved thopse play at the plate in little league and whatnot...luckily, these highschool and college umps cant tell if im blocking the plate as long as the ball is coming in...I always take 2 steps back and set up right in the middle...If they truck me, thyre out...if i catch the ball first, i get to truck them.
bob tyler lol if he set up right he would be fine
The MLB didn’t change the rule until like 3 years later when another catcher was injured in the postseason. Stop blaming Posey for something that happened years later.
Love the urinatingtree cameo at 8:57
what even is a catch like what does it mean to grab a ball out of the air and come down with it?
PGA's rule that lets fans call in and report rules violations is also pretty terrible and deserves an honorable mention.
Blocking home plate always seemed weird to me. The other three bases never really allowed fielders to obstruct the base from the baserunner, so in a sense making sure home plate is not obstructed also seems like a good rule. Fortunately, they don't adhere to the original Buster Posey rule, so if the throw beats the runner by a lot, whether or not the catcher blocked the plate the runner should be out. Unfortunately, the rule is still almost entirely subjective.
4:23 -- The catcher even had the damn ball by the time the runner was still 5+ feet away. The rule is fair. The call was stupid with respect to the rule. Also, fuck surviving the ground. If you have control of the football with 2 feet in-bounds and either go down or out of bounds, it should be complete. It shouldn't affect whether the pass is completed if you lose control after that point. And I say that as a DC/Baltimore fan who hates both the Cowboys and the Steelers! Let them have their completions and the Ravens and Skins will have theirs.
Hell yeah! So glad I watched all the way through!
Lol the uranating tree clip
2:09 seeing that logo hits different after what happened in Buffalo.
At 9:15 it is said that "the ground cannot cause a fumble, but it can cause an incomplete". That is technically not true. In the NFL if a ball carrier falls and the impact of the ground on the ball causes a fumble, then it _is_ a fumble and the ball can be recovered by the other team.
Thats false
+ Nick Battaglini In the NFL a player is down only with contact. But a fumble can occur without contact, such as slipping and falling.
The difference is that when the ground causes a fumble, possession of the ball is already established.
Your cats were fighting at 7:14 lmao
The most stupid sports rule is the NBA's ruling that the player who gets run into is guilty of the foul.

*What The Fuck is a catch?*
Me: a catch
Ref/umpire: *NANI?*
Did you insert urinatingtree?
F*** YOU SPANOS
If a receivers foot touches the sideline then proceeds to make a catch, the catch is ruled incomplete (even if the ball stays in the field if play). Yet if the ball is over the sideline and the receiver manages to catch it with both feet in bounds, then it's a catch. With this in mind, if a receiver catches the ball over the goal line the play is not dead until the ball is secured or does not touch the ground (unlike crossing the sideline where the play is deemed dead immediately).
infield fly rule - triggered braves fan
That's a good rule. Otherwise every single infield pop up would be "dropped" so they could turn a double play. But the infield fly rule should only apply to the INFIELD, when a INFIELDER is camping under a pop up waiting for it.
Well yeah but the fucking ball was out in the outfield grass, not in infield at all.
That's what I said...
That one instance was just a bad call by the umpires. That fly ball was not one where an infielder could catch with relative ease (the shortstop had to chase after it into the outfield to catch it). Normally though, the infield fly rule is solid.
I agree there needs to be an infield fly rule, but instead of calling the batter out automatically, call all runners safe if the infielder drops the ball. Put the pressure on the defense to make the play.
There also was a recent game where the ground DID cause a fumble because the receiver wasn't touched and had taken extra steps, so it was a reception, he tripped on his own, hand and ball hit the ground and knocked it loose with no contact for the receiver to be called down.
The handplay rule in soccer. You'll probably think it's easy. Touch the ball with the hand and it's a foul. WRONG. The rule says that only INTENTIONAL handplay is forbidden. So if you touch the ball by accidant your still fine. Sounds still pretty simple, ight? Now that's until you come to the part where they define what's intentional and what not. One statements are: If the hand moves towards the ball it is deemed being intentional. Another one says is the hand is moving in a natural way when it touches the ball it is deemed unintentional. So what is I make a natural movemant with my hand towards the ball? Well then it's up to the refferee to decide which interpretition he follows. Another example: One statement says if you increase the your size by stretching out your arms it's deemed intentional and again there is a statement saying that if you're holding your arm in a natural position it's deemed unintentional. Again stuff is up for interpretition. In the end this lead to defenders defending with their hands behind the back to not risk giving away a penalty kick for handplay and situations where somebody clearly touches the ball with the hand, but it's deemed unintentional and not called as a foul.
FivePoints, thank you for continually making my day with a new video almost every day.😀
Also, 0 dislikes!
FivePoints is the best like if you agree
Bruh, Buster Posey was just trying to catch the ball, and that mfer ran him over.
I have nothing to comment
MMN Nutz this is a paradox
I have nothing to reply
The offside rule in Soccer is unnecessarily complicated as well. Probably now the hardest rule to enforce in sports. In the old days offside was called when the ball crossed the line (marked by the second to last defender including goalie). Now it is when the ball is kicked so the linesman has to see 2 things at once. Also previously if anyone was offside, it was offside. Now you have to "interfere with the play". What the heck are players doing on the field if they aren't "interfering with the play". It was all designed to eliminate the "offside trap" and hopefully increase scoring. But scoring in soccer is already comparable to football if you divide by 7, and much higher than basketball where most games essentially end within a few %. 102-98 is essentially a tie game.
Agreed about offsides
I'm an SEC fan and you haven't triggered me yet. Still waiting on that video mi amore.
Its coming :) i gotta spread out the hate you know
UrinatingTree appreciates the advertising
Here's one. NASCAR's overtime line rule.
TW38824 But who the fuck cares about nascar??
AwesomeAlpacaLol The South.
Haha. (I think the overtime rule is okay. But flawed, but okay.)
Most of NASCAR's new rules suck. I hate the competition cautions and how they broke the races up into sections or legs, whatever they are called.
darkwolf070490 yeah the little segments sucks. I like the over time because it lets there be a racing finish because finish under yellow sucks.
Sean Nicol I remember when they didn't freeze the field when there was a caution and had to race back to the line. That was when NASCAR was still fun, more dangerous but fun.
Great ending with the cowboy shot.
I gotta admit, as a reds fan, that play where Phillips should have been out was kinda bullshit.
Cozart?
Clearly not a Reds fan, I didn't even have to look it up.
man that made me smile. caught me off guard. nice.
That 7:13-ish cat or kid made the video. Despite the comedy and the hardcore sports, reminds me that you're just a dude getting this shit done. Keep it up, man! (And screw the Irish's coach. Not relevant, but still, that dude killed a kid)
Novedrake hey don't hate on the irish race buddy :/
Zach Stevens I'm not your buddy, guy (jk). My beef's with Brian Kelly.
Novedrake oh yah okay. yup, he is a raging moron. get ride of him... lol;)
He killed a guy?
The REAL dumbest rule occurred in College Football during week 2 (if I can think of the game I will post it) and it happens every now and then.
Let me 1st say the Officials rule it right every time I have ever seen it happen in any level of Football.
And the coaches, players and fans always go NUTS as if they have never heard of this BS rule before in their lives.
The rule: Fumble out of your opponents End Zone equals Touchback and Loss of Ball.
But more so that even that... Fumble out of your opponents EndZone through the "Extended Goal Line".
So... get this. Your team gets the ball on it's own 5-yard line... 95 yards away from scoring a TD.
You move the ball and every time you get Tackled you FUMBLE the Football and it rolls out-of-bounds. I know that is unlikely but follow along.
So the football goes out-of-bounds on the 7. You keep the ball and next snap is on the 7.
It goes out on the 23. You keep the ball. Next snap on the 23. It goes out on the 41. You keep the ball. Next snap on the 41. You cross midfield...
...And It goes out on the 38. You keep the ball. Next snap on the 38. It goes out on the 17. You keep the ball. Next snap on the 17.
You are really doing great and it looks like you are going to score. BUT... on the next play you are reaching for the pylon and you get tackled on the 1...
... the ball rolls out-of-bound just outside the pylon... OVER the "Extended Goal Line"... Touchback.
You LOSE POSSESSION. Your opponent gets the ball on the 20. No points for you. No new play on the 1 yard line for you.
SO many fans and it appears coaches and players do not know about the "Extended Goal Line".
And why would you know about it? It isn't marked by ANYTHING usually. And NOBODY really reads the Football Rules Books except for Refs.
And even when most people DO read the Rules Books they are looking up 1 or 2 things not reading it like a Bible. Only Refs do that.
The "Extended Goal Line" is your friend when you Break the Plane of the Goal Line WITH the Ball near the Pylon... because you get a Touchdown.
But not when you Fumble over it. Your teammate cannot even RECOVER the ball for a Touchdown to save the day (like he could if you Fumbled into the End Zone).
Because the "Extended Goal Line" (and the Pylon for that matter) is out-of-bounds.
Yes... the "Extended Goal Line" and the Pylon are technically BOTH... IN the End Zone AND out-of-bounds.
And all of these thing I mentioned here and maybe more MEANS you need to make at least 1 more video because you left off THE WORST RULE in FOOTBALL.
With the Buster Posey rule, umps usually make the common sense call live and replay screws it up. If something isn't immediately obvious within 30 seconds of review the call should stand.
You're lucky I love your vids too much to unsubscribe for saying fuck the cowboys
GoodeisSXE I know me too.
Na he's doing the right thing
Fuck the Cowboys
Fuck the Cowgirls
GoodeisSXE haha lol I love the honesty :)
Posey had no say in the rule change. All he did was break his leg and come back to be a World Series champ yet again.. I don't see how you can hate a guy for that
Agreed. Blame MLB for pussifying the rule, not Posey himself.
If i was the NFL's comissioner my rules would be
1. The player who is catching the ball has both hands on the ball, it is a catch
2. Sideline catches: If the player is catching the ball on the sideline, the player must have each leg has to make contact it can be the smallest touch on the ground but as soon as both legs touch the ground
2.1: Sideline catches: If the player catches the ball but no legs make contact on the ground BUT if the player decided to dive for the catch and the player's entire body lands INSIDE the field it is a catch meaning that as soon as a piece of equipment touches the outside line it is not a catch
3. Touchdown catches. If the player fulfills rule number 1 (both hands or a significant control with one hand) and rule number 2 (each legs making contact on the ground or if the player's entire body lands inside the endzone) it is a touchdown.
4. If the player loses control of the ball AFTER making contact with is feets/legs it is still a touchdown.
FUCK THE CALVIN JOHNSON RULE IT'S SHIT
YOLOMonsieurQcYOLO thats too much, just make it so that if two feet or any body part other than the hands are in bounds and thr ball is controlled (I.e not bobbling, or loose in a players hands) then its a catch, and anything afterwards that happens has no effect on that
Trikkage i wanted to make it as confusing as the nfl's rulebook
Plus i will say if fivepoints liked my comment i'm gonna say it was alright but i did it confusing just for fun
YOLOMonsieurQcYOLO that first rule wouldn’t work, it’s too vague
The problem is that if you do that, you'll have a bunch of "completions" in the middle of the field that are now completion-contact-fumble. And in the defensive secondary where those passes get caught it's usually 1 receiver and 2-3 CBs/Safeties/LBs, so the defense is going to recover a lot of those fumbles.
That's (part of) why the rule is the way it is - the NFL doesn't want 20 extra turnovers per season per team.
Good! A little better Offense/Defense balance would be nice.
5 points and Urinating Tree: the quest to figure out what a catch is.
#JesseCaughtIt
The intent is to provide players with a you don't know for sure that his hand wasn't under the ball. Had they called it an incomplete catch, reviewed it, and confirmed the call, then it would have been the correct call. But since they didn't have conclusive evidence that his hand wasn't under the ball, it's an awful call. Anyways, that's just my opinion
STEELERS NATION + Wasn't a catch and hasn't been one for years. It's the NFL there's no excuse to water it down by saying you caught it when you can't even control it?
Shit is stupid too many immature fans want rule changes every time they lose a game. Act like the refs should break the rules redefine a catch during the game. Where was steeler nation when this same shit happend to so many other teams? Tomlin wasn't asking for rules to be revisited then.
Just petty immature people that think it matters now when it happens to them.
Proud to be a yinzer
Spritzer AK4U again, no conclusive evidence of the ball ever hitting the ground. If they had initially ruled it a catch it should have stayed as such, because there was not conclusive evidence to overturn the call. Get your head out of your assistance and quit trying to cause issues without having facts to back you up
Marshall Phoenix + No evidence? So clear video of him losing the ball when his hands hit the ground isn't conclusive evidence?
If my head is in my ass for seeing the truth then where is yours at when you watch the video?
I'm a Bears fan and that Johnson catch was a TD all day. Clear possession beyond the plane of the goalline, it's that simple
As a catcher, I hate the plate block rule. I can see it tho since i singlehandedly changed the same rule in my little league lol. I broke a kids nose as he came from 3rd and tried to run me over. Next week, rule changed. I hated the new rule so much. 5th grade season was interesting to say the least
Andrew Malphrus u got no pads u guys are not football players wtf are u trying to die
Infernoboy 13 lol bro. I wasn't always the smartest kid. I thought the contact was the best part of playing catcher.
Weird Flex but ok
2 videos in one week
Yesssssss
College football targeting
BadorekBeans facts
Christian Thompson I hate the targeting rule.... I’d say at least 80% of the time the player shouldn’t get tossed.
BadorekBeans they have to clarify it because their is times where the player makes no contact with the helmet/chest area and is still tossed
Christian Thompson I know it’s ridiculous. I saw a play where a receiver and db both dove for a ball and they happened to hit each other in the head and the db was tossed. It’s ridiculous
BadorekBeans that's just absurd
In disc golf during a PDGA event, if a player or their caddie were to open a beer. AFTER finishing the round, but before turning in their card. The player is disqualified from the event.
I’m no Buster Posey hater, but I agree that he ruined home plate collisions.
The Engie That Cried Nope how the fuck is it Buster Posey’s fault that MLB put a rules in after he got knocked out in a game. Both you and the maker of this video put down a player for being in the wrong place. Kiss off you inconsiderate piece of dog shit. So do you blame Chase Utley for that bullshit rule. Just because the media names a rule after a person it does not mean that that person pushed anyone to make a new rule. So shut the fuck up.
Dude, Buster Posey didn't ruin collisions intentionally. HIS F-ING LEG WAS BROKEN IN THE PLAY. The MLB obviously didn't want that to keep happening, so they changed the rules. It's not his fault, he was doing what any catcher should've been doing in that scenario, and his leg just happened to break. He didn't ask for the rule to be changed, that was all the MLB's doing. So stop blaming a player for something that they couldn't have controlled.
Why am I getting a sneaking suspicion that you're a Dodgers fan?
You'd have to agree that the Miami/Cincinnati game was a totally blown call, though. The runner didn't even attempt to slide and yet still gets called safe because the catcher had to step into the baseline to receive the ball? It's a dumb rule and Redmond was right to be pissed.
Sports can be dangerous. Not like theyre getting hit in the head by a 250 lb guy every 30 seconds.
AdderTude I agree he just caught the ball and the runner did not attempt to slide. He should have been out because he got tagged.
Lmao the free balls ad is funny af i watched the hole thing
