I saw replays and I swear I never saw Randy touch the defender.
Sure he extends his arm from the defender but he is not touching him.
Announcers keep referring to it as borderline.
Do I need new glasses?
Randy like to put his hand (gently, believe it or not) on the defender, so he knows where the defender is while he finds the ball - you see basketball players do this all the time.
However, Randy gets called for Off PI on this all the time, even though everyone does it. Like someone else said, he's the Shaq of football. (OK, enough with the basketball allegories, I can't stand basketball).

I don't know if Moss would have caught it had Rhodes not pushed Moss, which was the PI anyway. I also think the ball hit the ground and had there not been pass interference, I think the Jets would have challenged.
Conspiracy is the word. Conversely, in the Colts - Raiders game, there were back to back PI infractions committed on Jerry Porter not called on the last Raiders drive which could have tied the game. Even the announcers said that on the second one, the Raiders receiver's right arm was pinned to his side so blatantly he couldn't lift it at all. The cameras caught it real well too. They showed Raiders coach Lane Kiffin and he's so young and quiet or whatever he didn't even open his mouth. Give me a coach with fire any day, although Kiffin may be OK some day. If anything could kill the NFL, it's the PI calls. Got off topic here.No. For some reason, whenever Randy Moss breaths, he interferes with the air allocated for the defender, which is essentially a push-off.
Simms kept calling for the Jets to challenge, like it would have made a difference. Then again, Simms also looked at a replay of a defender cornering Moss in the endzone with both of his hands on Moss's shoulders, keeping him from going anywhere, and called it "great coverage."
Simms was awful yesterday.
