Review of official's review in Ravens game

Not to beat a dead horse or anything -- and this won't make any Ravens fan feel better -- but here's a clip from the NFL Network with the league's officiating honcho, Mike Pereira, explaining the call on the infamous game-deciding touchdown Sunday. 

Comments

Ray, I still have heard no one explain this, definitively; if when a player catches the ball for a touchdown on the side or the back of the end zone with two feet in, while leaning out of the end zone to catch the ball ... and that counts as a touchdown, is the front of the end zone really treated differently for passes than the side or back?

------------------

Ray replies: Yes, those instances are treated differently because they occur beyond the goal line, having broken, as they used to say on Fantasy Island, duh plane, duh plane.

About Ray Frager
Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
