here comes a lawsuit!!

"A 42-year-old football fan was critically injured when he plunged 30 feet from the side of an escalator after today’s Giants game at MetLife Satdium in East Rutherford, NJ, police said.

The fan, who fell at 4:07 p.m., may have been trying to make a quick getaway from the game that ended at 4:05 p.m., after Eli Manning completed a 77-yard pass to Victor Cruz with just 1:13 left. The scoring Hail Mary pass handed the Giants a 27-23 victory over the Washington Redskins.

The man, who was not identified, suffered severe head injuries after smacking into a metal stage near the Verizon gate. He was airlifted to Hackensack University Medical Center in critical condition, said New Jersey State Police Sgt. Adam Grossman.

It was unclear why the man fell off the side of the escalator.

In 2007, eight people were injured at the old Giants Stadium when an escalator sped up and then stopped suddenly. The new stadium opened in April 2010.

Several people witnessed today’s fall and took to Twitter hoping to find out if the man survived.

I was born in Hackensack hospital...true story. :lecture

love these quiggle "news" stories.
 
Going back to the Saints/Bucs game, the "player out of bounds" rule needs to be re-examined by the Competition Committee. It makes sense if you run out of bounds on your own volition, you can't be the first to touch the ball, but when you're pushed out of bounds and you come back in to re-establish yourself before you catch the ball that should be fine. Mike Williams was clearly forced out of bounds on that last play.

I head a detailed explanation on how that was 100% the right call.

It is legal in the 5 yard area to drive a receiver out of bounds and make them ineligible receiver with no illegal contact flag. Once a QB starts to scramble you cant get called for illegal contact. If he had illegally been forced out of bounds then the illegal touching does not apply.

It was a good correct call from the info they said.

Oh, per the rule book it is 100% the right call. I just think it's borderline unfair, especially since defenders can employ that as a defensive tactic. I'm replaying it in my mind, but Williams ran his route into the end zone and stopped clearly in the end zone; the defender (I can't remember who it was) clearly pushes Williams out of the end zone. Smart and legal play on the defender's part, but I just think the potential for abuse is there.

I think its a stupid rule altogether. Who cares if he goes out of bounds? As long as you're not out of bounds with the ball you should be allowed to come back in all you want. Its not like running out of bounds gives you an unfair advantage. The only time I can see running out of bounds being sorta unfair is in kick return coverage.

Blame Freeman then. If Freeman doesn't scramble its not a penalty on Jackson it would be illegal contact on Saints and thus the touchdown would stand.

How is trying to get down field in bump and run coverage different then trying to avoid a block on kick return coverage?

Because a wide receiver running out of bounds to avoid contact inside the 5 probably takes longer than just taking the contact. Avoiding a block when you're already running full sprint on a kick is a lot more beneficial and and the injury possibilities are greater.
 
Just whats needed more adantage for the WR. Let's get ride of offensive pass interference while were at it
