Go to the 11:35 mark and watch that play. What, no tuck rule here?

Don't get me started. After the game I remember ex-football players and longtime football media were all wondering "what the heck was a tuck rule?". Nobody had ever heard of it it was so obscure. It was one of those long forgotten rules like some cities have that say you can't park your donkey w/in 10 ft of a church. I insist Tagliabue told the ref over the earphones "ain't no way in bleep am I going to hand Al Davis the SB trophy. Find a way to end this NOW!"
