Doc, I was on their site yesterday and was looking at some of these great shots.

Journeyman · May 28, 2006

very cool.

Insiders · May 28, 2006

Love the football photo of Cincinnati's Johnson's foot hitting the pilan and the ball "clearly" out of bounds, still called a TD ! obtw NO where near breaking the plane either.

doc mercer, still the king of the picture posting.

I saw that pic of the jet several years ago. I believe there is a movie that goes along with it.

The rule stats that the goalline basically goes around the world. I know that I have heard the explaination a few times. Like if any part of the body gets to the pilan and the ball crosses the "imaginary goal line" it is stil a touchdown.

Fox · May 29, 2006

Look at this one

How about this one?

Yup. The ball has to cross the plane which goes around the world and as long as one body part crosses the plane in-bounds (no matter where the ball is) it's a TD
