But you assume that Ben was still moving forward when that picture was taken. Watching the actual replay, which they showed in slow motion many times during the game, there was not a single frame that showed the ball over the goal line. That's why the announcers said it was going to be such a tough call for the officials. If there was any video evidence of the ball breaking the plane, it wouldn't be a tough call at all; but what the announcers were getting at was whether or not the call could be reversed based on video that showed the ball getting very very close to breaking the goal line. I think it should have been reversed, but my bigger problem is the fact that the touchdown was called in the first place, based on no evidence other than Ben scooting the ball across the line when he was down, then staring at the official with pleading, desperate eyes. The official ran four steps onto the field and hesitated like a retard before giving in to Ben's irresistable patheticness.
