They changed the catch rule but it sounds like bullshit to me:

A receiver must control the ball, establish himself in bounds and perform a football move such as taking a third step or lunging with the ball in hand.

Is that supposed to be simpler? I thought most of that was already in there. "Control the ball" is so vague, and "football move" is dumb. Didn't they remove the "football move" language once? And now they're bringing it back? What happens with a catch with two feet in bounds but the third is out, that sounds like a non-catch the way I'm reading this rule.

Here's how they should fix it: Get rid of stupid-ass replays
