Probably the guy that came up with the catch rule.

I hate the rule. I understand the interpretation of the rule, making a football move, maintaining possession all the way through etc but damn this is something the officiating committee needs to revisit this off season.

I get what you're saying, but games are long enough and this is the best definition that the Rules Committee can create for an objective and not subjective ruling...

Not everyone would consider it a catch, by putting the criteria in place, the refs now have benchmarks, checkmarks to guide them in the ruling...

Besides, F*ck Pittsburgh!!! They've gotten calls for years, all the way back to the non-catch Immaculate Reception that hit the ground then bounced into Franco's hands...

And don't get me started on the biased officiating that screwed the Cardinals out of a SuperBowl...
