A note from last night's NFL opener, Titans-Steelers:
On the crazy-sick Polamalu interception, the Tennessee receiver’s leg touched Polamalu’s hair. I read a couple of years ago that the hair is considered part of the uniform for the purposes of “touching.” Therefore, Polamalu should have been ruled down after the interception, and his ~10 yard return should have been disallowed. I’m surprised Jeff Fischer didn’t challenge. I’m also surprised that the most astute commentators on television, Michaels and Collinsworth, didn’t notice.
P.S. Isn’t it great to have Collinsworth in place of Madden? I’m enjoying the announcers, which is a highly unusual state for the Nachoman.
P.P.S. I sighed to myself as I headed to bed last night, "Be prepared for the onslaught of lazy sportswriter columns decrying the NFL overtime system." Sure enough, SI.com had one at 11:39 a.m. Come on, folks, just deal with it. If you don't want to lose in overtime because the other team won the coin toss, you have two options: (1) win the dang game in regulation, or (2) make your defense and special teams stop the opponent. If you can't do either of those things, TS.
