    Marion Barber continues to show that he's a top 5 back and he's going to get paid a lot of money.

    so it's either complete control or if the ball actually stops and is touched

    That's right.
    It was a proper ruling on the Ramon Guzman play.

    The key is that the player has to be standing still. If the ball has stopped but the player is moving and goes into the end zone, it's a touchback (that happened yesterday, I think). If the ball has stopped and a player leans over and touches it, he's standing still at the time, so the ball is down.

    Now that's more like the Eli Manning we've come to know and love.

    Nice move by Glenn, especially for a guy making his first catch of the season.

    And now Glenn falls down and should have caused an interception.

    Edit: has everyone stopped watching this game? :eek:hmy:

    he used the ball to stay upright. now that's unusual.

    and yeah I'm watching. I've watched the whole first half except about 4 plays. sitting here with a laptop in front of the tv

    manning should not have thrown that. he could've run for like 15 yards. open field

    the facemask called on reeves gave the giants a chance to go for a td, but they've stalled and it looks like a fg attempt now

    Unfortunately (from my point of view), that was an impressive drive engineered by Manning.

    Yesterday I saw a guy in a convenience store wearing a Williams jersey. I said, "Wow. I haven't seen a Cowboys jersey in 10 years. They must be good again." Then the guy said, "Yeah, they are good."
