But there wasn't even one camera angle that clearly showed the ball hitting the ground. He had his hand under it, yet the referee reversed the on-the-field call.

And that darned field goal looked inside--I followed it on my DVR, and even when the ball was way smaller than the goal posts (they are roughly the same diameter with the ball), it was still inside the goal-posts. Even political commentator Cenk Uygur played it on his show.

And who knows about all the smaller things, like holding being called on many little plays where they made some ground. These replacements need to go, to be tossed to the curb.

Also, the Moore catch where his other foot clearly, at least to me, hit the side of the pylon before the shoe hit the ground out of bounds.

Still, the call was overturned even though I can't believe they saw 100% evidence to overturn the initial call of Moore making the catch, but being a little short of the goal-line.

The pylon isn't part of the field, it merely identifies the plane of the goal line. You still have to have the 2nd foot touch the ground.

OK, I was just going by what the broadcast team was saying about the rule. Naturally, I should've known better than to trust Gumbel's and Dierdorf's knowledge of the rules.
