That's a big negative. It is NOT a fumble. It is a lateral pass. Sorry. And ESPN drew the line and it landed ON the line. So its a later, not a fumble nor a forward pass.

And?

If you are argue that the play should be dead because the holders knee is on the ground, then please explain why every FG attempt is not blown dead.

Did it, you were wrong.

It's like guy has posted earlier:

The definition of a fumble "Is any act other than passing, kicking, or successful handing that results in loss of player possesion"

Good. So a fumble can't occur on a pass play.

So did you look up the difference between a pass and a handoff? Something to do with a throwing motion I presume.

Not true, but what does that have to do with the play?

Damn you are thick.

You just quoted that a fumble cannot occur during the act of passing. The toss over the head is considered a pass and get this: a backward pass even. So since we have established that the ball is not a fumble because it occurred in the act of passing and is not an incomplete because it was a backward pass, that leaves a "loose ball", which isn't subjected to the exceptions outlined in te OP

If a center snaps the ball over the QB's head is that a loose ball or a fumble?

That act defined as a backward pass in the rule book, which makes it a loose ball.

But you would know this if you read the definitions I suggested you look up.
