  1. Per the NFL rules in Section 7 - Backward Pass and Fumble

     

    https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/2017-nfl-rulebook/#section-7-backward-pass-and-fumble

     

    Article 1 Backward Pass. A runner may throw a backward pass at any time (3-22-4). Players of either team may advance after catching a backward pass, or recovering a backward pass after it touches the ground.

     

    Article 3 Fumble. A fumble is any act, other than a pass or kick, which results in a loss of player possession.

     

    My interpretation is that since a lateral is a backward pass, when it hits the ground it isn't a fumble since a fumble is any act other than a pass or kick.

     

  2. Except that is a lie, as I pointed out in my post on here and in a Twitter back and forth with Skurski...

     

    Only the top 51 players count against the cap from the beginning of the league year to day before the regular season.

     

    I wouldn't really call it a lie. They do need room to sign everyone. Maybe like a gymnasium. And multiple pens, too, because if they have to share it could take a long time.

  3. I see where you f-ed up in your calculation! LOL

     

    You are incorrectly simplifying it in your head and eliminating the fractional aspect of it.

     

    It's not 2^17 or 131,072.

     

    It's 1/2^17 or .00000762939.

     

    Not only do you have a massive low self esteem problem, you're a f-ing idiot.

     

    When flipping a coin 17 times in a row, there are 2^17 = 131,072 possible outcomes of head/tail sequences. The chances of getting a particular outcome (all heads) is then 1/131,072.

     

    The problem with your math is that 0.00000762939 (7.62939e-6) expressed as a fraction is not 19/25,000,000. It's 1/131,072.
