was listening to a podcast and once again, the hosts completely misunderstood the situation. they both thought the refs were saying that DeJean had indicated a fair catch, and kept on saying "that's not a fair catch signal."
well, they were right - it wasn't a fair catch signal. But that is not the rule that was being enforced.
I don't expect everyone to be an expect on the rule book. but for a play that received national attention, if you were going to discuss it on a podcast, you would think the hosts would at least try to understand what they were talking about. Except - the outrage makes better listening - or so they seem to think.
