Mara: No Change to Calvin Johnson Rule: The NFL is unlikely to make changes to the "Calvin Johnson rule," New York Giants owner John Mara said. "If you read the rule, it's not a catch," he said. "The reason it's not a catch is you've got to control the ball when you hit the ground. It makes it easier to officiate. It's a bright line that you can draw."

I can't believe he said it was a bright line that you can draw.

No need to let common sense get in the way of a rule
