110. Tuck rule

The entire intent of that rule is to prevent a ball from being ruled a fumble, if it slips out of the QBs hand when he changes his mind and tries to stop the forward motion.

But they've taken it to ludicrous extreme by insisting the ball has to be fully tucked, before it can be ruled a fumble. The Tom Brady play from '01 is the obvious example, pulled down and being touched with both hands yet somehow it's not a fumble. Hell, Brady knew it was a fumble. Check his reaction.
