For some reason when I read this post I thought it said "Physicist claims that the Immaculate Conception was indeed a legal play" and wondered what Jeebus has to do with SpoFi, physics or, for that matter, legality.

Again, the evidence convinced him that the ball had bounced off Tatum ---- the call on the field ---- and not off Steelers running back Frenchy Fuqua, which would have made Harris' catch illegal under NFL rules at the time. Anyone know what the rule said? Any idea when it was changed?
