Even with that obviously dumb rule, there is still wiggle room.
The ball touched Brady's left hand before it came out. Having
two hands on the ball could constitute and end to the throwing
motion. In other words, the ball was as tucked as it was
ever going to get. My guess, however, is that an end of the
throwing motion would be either when the ball was released
or stopped moving due to the qb changing his mind. Because
in a pump fake the the ball never actually stops there was a
need for the mention of recocking the ball. Good call, bad
rule.
If you guys think Pats have a prayer of beating Stl you are
smoking something. Maybe if an unexpected snow storm
rolls into the dome in New Orleans..... Anyone CAN win any
reg season football game, but the best team usually wins
in the playoffs.
