Am I the only one that every time I see a $million(s) donation for the stadium renovation thinks that it would have a bigger impact on PSU football if said donation was directed to NIL instead of what seems like fixing a problem that doesn't exist.

I did a number of engineering types of work during my 40 year professional career, one of which many years ago was writing manufacturing process control and modeling software in a language called Ada. The language was very robust as it was used for GE Defense applications and many times our group would be challenged to fix problems that were really physical problems within the complex manufacturing process lines. Hence the conversations we'd have about the hardest things to fix are those that aren't really broke..........

In the postgame interview that is what the Browns coach told the media. The ref told him it was illegal touching because there was a legal receiver in the area regardless of what Steratore thought.

You're right; I just looked him up on Wikipedia and he was born in Uniontown.

I believe that he's from Washington, PA, and he also officiated college basketball. He appears every Tuesday around 7:45 a.m. on the WDVE Morning Show to talk about controversial calls from the previous weekend.

According to former NFL Ref Gene Steratore, the intentional grounding call was nullified because the QB was hit just as he was attempting the pass. According to Gene, it did not matter whether there was a receiver in the vicinity or not.

The illegal touching penalty was only called because an ineligible receiver intentionally tried to catch the pass. It would have not been a penalty if it just hit him without attempting to be a receiver.

I am biased but I believe Gene is the best in explaining the nuances of these rules. His dad officiated some of my basketball games back in the day and he too was a very accomplished official.

Then how to you account for the questionable calls that went in favor of Minnesota? Do you have a theory about those?

How many games has he played in this year? Something makes me think he is a silent transfer for year end.

interestingly, the refs for the Browns Steelers got this right. A RT lined up uncovered. The QB got blitzed and threw the ball touching the RG. The refs initially called intentional grounding but then realized the uncovered RT was near the ball so picked up the grounding call and then called illegal touching.
