In football if a ball carriers touches the ground with the ball is it a dead ball?
As in a forward pass?? No. It is still live if it does not touch the ground. ANSWER: A football remains a live ball if it strikes an official in the field of play. If an official is out of bounds when the ball touches him/her, then the ball is deemed to be out of bounds. Yes and no. The officials are considered an extension of the field. Therefore, if a forward pass strikes an official, it's the same as if the ball hit the ground -- it's dead. I've seen games before where a forward pass hit an umpire, and the play was immediately whistled over.
If a backwards pass or a loose ball hits an official, it would therefore still be a live ball, since hitting the ground doesn't normally kill a ball under those circumstances.

If a ground ball that goes directly over the top of the 3rd bag fair?
If it's a fly ball, it depends on where it first touches the ground; if it first touches in fair territory, it's a fair ball; if it first touches in foul territory, it's a foul ball. If it's a bounding (bouncing) ball and, in the umpire's judgment, it crosses over third base, it would be a fair ball no matter where it first touched the ground.
In football if the ball goes out of bounds and a player is inbounds and catches the ball when it is out but he isn't is it a complete pass?
The ball is not "out of bounds" unless the ball or the player who possesses it touches the ground in an out of bounds area. So in the case where the ball is in flight over the sideline, and a player who is inbounds catches it and demonstrates control before stepping out, the pass is complete.
