During his press conference, problem is one was a legit call on an actual rule and one was a blown call made by his gang of Division III incompetents and Lingerie League rejects. Does he even know the rules of the game he is commissioner of? He is such douchebag. I can't stand him.
I did not hear the presser by the Goodell regarding the his comparsing between the tuck rule and this most recent call . . . but I imagine that he is referring to the reaction by fans to a call which the fans think was wrong but was actually correct and inability for fans to comprehend the aspect of it . . . fans are just too blind, narrow minded, or simply have an agenda, but still even today fans can't see to grasp the fact that the call was correct under the rules . . . simple put they both had possession of the ball, both had control of the ball at the apex of the rise (and hence no real transfer of control) and when they landed their hands and arms were interlocked with each other and around the ball . . . that is what is called a simultaneous catch . . . but fans across the nation can't seem to grasp this concept, which is a mysterty to me . . .
so bottom line, in both cases, you have the following:
1) A call that was late enough in the game that made a direct impact on the result
2) A call that was made correct with respect to rules (but might seem unfair with what the fans saw on the field)
3) A rule that fans can not seem to grasp and refuse to apply
4) Fans refusing to open their eyes to follow the rule
5) Fans feeling like they got robbed
6) the winning team saying the rule was applied correctly
7) National media attention
8) Something that we will hear about for the rest of our lives . . .
ya, I think Goodell's analogy between the tuck rule and the most recent call is pretty spot on . . . .
