Was the Immaculate Reception a legal catch?

This is from the NFL rulebook:"Any eligible offensive player may catch a forward pass. If a pass is touched by one eligible offensive player and touched or caught by a second offensive player, pass completion is legal. Further, all offensive players become eligible once a pass is touched by an eligible receiver or any defensive player."Since the pass was touched by either an eligible receiver or a defensive player and then caught it is a legal catch.


When did the fair catch start?

The fair catch rule in American football was introduced in 1883. It was established to allow a player receiving a kickoff or punt to signal that he would not attempt to advance the ball, thereby protecting him from being tackled immediately. The fair catch was designed to enhance player safety and promote fair play during the game.


Have there been any changes to the baseball?

recently they have allowed umpires to use relplays for awkward homeruns. there was also one time when a rule was that a catch is not a catch until the player has full control of the ball. one player caught a ball and bobbled it all the way into the infield so the runers couldn't go because it had not been declared a catch yet.


If a receiver catches a ball and is pushed out of bounds is it a legal catch?

Before the 08-09 season, this would be considered a catch. The rules have changed this year and unless the player gets both feet inbounds, it is not a catch. Good rule change IMO as the offense has too many rules in their favor already.
