Ok, I stand corrected. I saw it once before ( ) because I remember that. Still think that was shitty, too. Should be out of bounds where he touched it in that case.

Again, it seems like a concept/interpretation of possession problem. The player possessed the ball (on the kickoff) out of bounds. He chose to do that and shouldn’t have been rewarded IMO.

In one case, the ball is free when it leaves the kicking tee. In the other, the ball was possessed by Alabama and possession was not reestablished. To me, these two situations should be viewed differently.

Very different situations. I get the comparisons, but in the case shown, the Packers player took uncontested control of the ball.

Show me a fumble pile where it happened.
