I got a kick out of this in today's Ask Vic:

Vic, I attended the Giants-Packers game. Can you give an elaboration on the Jennings touchdown catch because many people in the stadium said he didn't maintain possession. I think he made the two steps with possession, thus giving him the touchdown? Am I wrong?
I don’t know what’s right or wrong because, to echo Tony Dungy’s sentiments, after 40 years of covering the NFL, I still don’t know what a catch is. Apparently, there’s a special rule for Calvin Johnson that requires him to maintain control of the ball until he goes to bed that night. Everybody else need only demonstrate possession and control for a split second. Please, everybody, don’t write to me telling me what the rule is. I’m looking at the rulebook right now and even it doesn’t know what a catch is, unless the ball is being caught by Calvin Johnson, then it’s very definitive.
