“As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly”

That was my intitial reaction to the news that Mike Pereira, former NFL head of officials, and the NFL patsy sent forward to explain the Walt Coleman tuck rule reversal in the 2002 AFC Championship game between the Raiders and Patriots, had a sudden change of heart and now thinks the tuck rule is bad for football.

The then NFL sanctioned spin doctor Pereira, couldn’t retreat fast enough from his assinine lectures about how the NFL rule book said something that it didn’t say at all. Attempting to rewrite the NFL rule book, Pereira at the time of the tragically bad call, explained to broken hearted Raiders fans that ”once you pump and bring the ball back to the set position, you can’t fumble. Period.”  The only problem with Pereira’s tuck rule explanation: it’s not what the rule book said…

The tuck rule is defined in Rule 3, Section 21, Article 2, Note 2 of the NFL Official Rules:

“When a player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his hand starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble.”

You can watch and listen to Mike Pereira try and explain the shitty call, and listen as Pereira admits the tuck rule as he has previously explained it goes directly against the intent of the rule itself at the 4:00 minute mark of the video below. Pereira’s tuck rule comments start at the 3:26 mark. What Pereira delicately avoids is that tisky bit at the end of rule 3, section 21, article 2, note 2, of the official NFL rules: “… also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble.”

Clearly you can see Brady’s arm going forward, then tucking the ball into his body, Woodson delivers the hit, Brady fumbles, and the Raiders go to the 2002 AFC Championship game… until Walt Coleman (with help?) famously ruled otherwise.

Is anyone outside of Patriot-ville capable of lying, and standing by a claim that you weren’t sure Brady had fumbled once he put his left hand back upon the ball and then got hit by Woodson??? If so, I refer you to Oliver Stone, you lying fucking Patsy (pun intended). As Andy reid commented about the tuck rule “when 50 guys at a bar agree its a fumble, its a fumble.”

The Waffle House worthy statement Pereira uttered below was made after last weeks Ravens Chiefs playoff game. Here is Pereira, now a NFL analyst for Fox sports, describing his “now I see the light” moment about the previous stupidity of his defintion of the tuck rule. Pereira’s ridciculously poor spin job at the time of the Tuck travesty, now stands in marked contrast to this statement that actually makes sense. If the QB is not attempting to pass, it’s a fucking fumble. Period. We all knew that, we knew that long before and even after Pereira tried to sell us his spin doctored bullshit…

“2011 Mike Pereira” Discusses the Tuck Rule

(from this 1/11/11 Tuck Rule post on FoxSports.com)   Mike Pereira: Rule 3, Section 2 states “when a team ‘A’ player (passer) is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his hand starts the forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he attempting to tuck it back toward his body.”This was clearly a correct reversal, but is it time to look at this rule? Cassel was not attempting to pass the ball when it came loose. By instinct, referee Mike Carey ruled this a fumble because that’s what it appeared to be. I think it’s time to change this rule. A pass should only be ruled incomplete if the ball comes loose in the actual act of passing the ball. If it comes loose in the tucking motion, then it should be a fumble. I would support a rule change, although it took me a long time to get to this point. I’m sure it’s no consolation to the many Raiders fans around the country.

Bullshit, liar.  That Jack Ruby Pereira, flung himself upon the NFL’s “tuck” grenade is widely known… the rationale behind Pereira continuing to freely pour  a verbal salt bath upon our still festering silver & black wounds escapes me?

This sudden ”I’ve found Jesus” moment about the Tuck rule is simply too late now for Pereira, who basically told Raider nation after the Foxboro Fucking that “you stupid Raiders fans and reporters don’t understand the rules. Just because it looks like a fumble, is called a fumble, and fumble is the obvious intent of the rule, doesn’t mean that it is a fumble.” Pereira went on that day to lecture reporters ala Bellicheck about the Vinny testaverde call earlier in the season. The difference there, that tusky little thing again about Vinny not actually touching the ball with this other hand (“the tuck” for those of us now confused) whereas Brady clearly did tuck. You see Brady actually performed a perfect demonstration of that same tuck motion specifically referred to at the end of the Tuck rule as a fumble… “if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble.”

Silly things like the facts haven’t dissuaded Pereira from piping down about the open wound that is the tuck rule yet. So, here then courtesy of the freshly picked scab from Mike Pereira is a…

The magic this time though was not for slaying Bellicheck the Killer pimp, it was “magical mumbo jumbo,” the risky business practices of Coleman (and possibly Tagliabue) altering destiny in the favor of Tom Brady and the Patriots.

The Tuck Rule From ESPN: Skip Bayless ESPN, First Take The following conversation took place on the December 8, 2009 ‘Second Down’ portion of ‘1st and 10′ which is aired daily on the ESPN morning show, First Take. Skip Bayless: Okay lemme back him up. I was at that game in the press box I was working in the Bay Area at the time. And you can dismiss this as classic Raider Al Davis paranoia but Al later told me that he had it on good authority that the league commissioner, Paul Tagliabue, actually participated via phone from New York during the replay review which did go on suspiciously long. I don’t remember what the exact — it was like four or five minutes. It was excessively long to the point I was dumbfounded by the call. I think you [Ritchie and the Raiders] got absolutely robbed. And league officials spent the next week lecturing reporters about how the rule book said something that I don’t think it said at all. They tried to rewrite the tuck rule by saying that once you tuck (brings arm forward in a throwing motion to tucking the ball), I’m sorry, once you pump and bring the ball back to the set position you can’t fumble. That’s not what I think that the rule book says.” JC: Wow! JR: Yeah. SB: The rule book says that if you start to throw and you think twice about it and you try to bring the ball back down and you lose control of the ball it’s not a fumble it’s just an incomplete pass. That’s the tuck rule. Tom Brady had finished tucking. He has successfully thought twice, brought the ball back down cause he almost threw it cause he went back to set position. He had finished – and it was a fumble! It was a strip fumble. The game is o-ver. There is no question the game is going to be over if it’s called. JC: And NFL history rewritten. SB: You got that right.

The Tuck Rule from Wikipedia: Tuck Rule, 2002 controversy Main article: 2001-2002 AFC Divisional Playoff game See also: NFL playoffs, 2001-02 The tuck rule resulted in a controversial finish to an NFL playoff game on January 19, 2002, between the New England Patriots and the Oakland Raiders. In the closing moments of the game in a snowy Foxboro Stadium, with New England trailing by three points, New England quarterback Tom Brady dropped back to pass. Charles Woodson came off the strong side corner blitz to knock the ball out of his hands after he had begun a passing motion, pulling his hand down below his shoulder and touching it with his left hand. Raiders’ Middle Linebacker Greg Biekert fell on the loose football. The officials initially called the play a recovered fumble, which would have sealed the victory for the Raiders. But after instant replay, referee Walt Coleman reversed this call, declared the play an incomplete forward pass, and gave possession back to New England. In explaining the reversal to the stadium crowd and the television audience, the referee stated that the ball was moving forward at the time it was dropped. However, instant replays showed that, at the moment Woodson stripped the ball from Brady, Brady had already brought the football back into his non-throwing hand, which would suggest that the “throwing motion” governed by the rule had already been completed and the play should have been ruled a fumble. In later interviews, the referee stated that it was his explanation, not the reversal, that was in error; the ball was moving backwards when it was lost, but the tuck rule applied. In any case, Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri later tied the game with a dramatic 45-yard field goal, and the Patriots took advantage of the momentum they had seized, defeating the deflated Raiders in overtime on another field goal and eliminating them from the playoffs. Three weeks later, the Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVI. While the NFL has defended the call, not everybody has agreed. Bruce Allen, who ran the front office for the Raiders at the time of the game, still believes it was a fumble. “The rule itself doesn’t bother me,” he said. “But the way the rule is written, it was a fumble.” Nevertheless, when the NFL’s Competition Committee re-examined the rule after the 2001-2002 season, they made no changes to the rule; Mike Pereira notes that attempts have been made to revise the rule, but such revisions have always proven to be more difficult to enforce than the current rule.

The Tuck Rule From Walt Coleman: Walt Coleman NFL referee “after further review, the QB’s arm was moving forward…” ** Coleman later explained in interviews that it was his explanation, not the reversal, that was in error. Coleman claimed the ball was actualy moving backwards when it was lost, but that the tuck rule still applied.

The Foxboro Fuckover post has been updated to Tuck Rule 2011 here… Tuck Rule Snowjob Patriots Raiders.  This courtesy of the barely healed scab Mike Pereira (former NFL Head of Officials) has torn open with his recent “a fumble is actually a fumble” epiphany.  Pereira, now an NFL rules analyst for Fixed Fox news, claims to have had a “come to Tuck Rule Jesus moment.” This comes after Pereira berated both Raiders fans and NFL reporters as rulebook stoopid in the days following the Snowjob infamy. Pereira now says “I think it’s time to change this rule. A pass should only be ruled incomplete if the ball comes loose in the actual act of passing the ball. If it comes loose in the tucking motion, then it should be a fumble.” <<<—- no fucking shit Mike. Everybody but you and Walt Coleman have always known this.

Pereira continues: “I would support a rule change, although it took me a long time to get to this point. I’m sure it’s no consolation to the many Raiders fans around the country.” <<<—- you really think so? Would it be adequate consolation for the Hilton to upgrade your room to a jaccuzi suite… this after daughter Paris got shitfaced in Daddys bar and took a giant garlic laden shit inside your luggage Mr Pereira?             …..2011 Tuck Rule, Pereira returns to own Tuck Rule vomit

Mike Holmgren on the Tuck Rule

“if 50 guys at the bar think it’s a fumble, then it’s a fumble. “

——————————————————————-

“…I’ve never seen anybody throw a pass with two hands on the ball,” Jim Gruden, the coach’s dad, said this week.

Jim Gruden, at the time a 49ers scout and now a Bucs consultant, watched that game from his Tampa home with his wife, Kathy.

“When I saw it, I was jumping up and down because I knew (the Raiders) were going to go to the AFC Championship Game,” he said. “The game was over. Then I saw the flag out, and I knew they were going to (change) it, and I told my wife, ‘We’re going to get screwed on this one, I guarantee it.’ “

In fact, of course, the coach’s challenge flag was not a factor because the game was in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. The call for a replay review came from a league official, not Belichick.

The play, originally called a Brady fumble recovered by the Raiders, was ruled an incomplete pass.

“There’s no way that was an incomplete pass,” Jim Gruden said.

 

“…Brooks and Chris Hovan, a Bucs defensive lineman who was playing for Minnesota at the time of the controversy, had no stake in the outcome of that game. Both of them said this week, however, that they were watching the game and, in their minds, the Brady play was clearly a fumble.”

“It’s a fumble,” Hovan said. “And they made up a new rule after that. I mean, come on … a lot of money got changed in that game right there.”

In preparing for this trip to Foxborough, where snow is expected, Jon Gruden showed some tapes from the tuck rule game to the Bucs’ players this week to prepare them for the weather. He did not show the controversial play, however, saying repeatedly, “I don’t want to relive it. I just don’t want to relive it. I try to move on.”

“But the tuck rule, while it has been looked at, remains unchanged, because the NFL rules tend to favor the offense, and the tuck rule gives a small benefit to the offense.”

 

“… Yet, no matter which side of the officials-against-the-Raiders conspiracy on which you fall, there is no denying that the Patriots dynasty was launched on such a thin thread, and Gruden’s departure from the Raiders — and the team’s ultimate fall back to laughingstock — was set in motion.

“If we had won that game, I might have been selling pretzels in the Black Hole,” Gruden said during an interview at the Bucs’ headquarters this week. “You never know what would have happened.”

No, we don’t. But we do know what would not have happened. The Patriots would not have won the Super Bowl following the 2001 season. Perhaps Bill Belichick would not have become a genius, perhaps Tom Brady would not have become Joe Montana.”
