The goal line is marked inbounds, but extends beyond the in bounds line. The pylon is the point at which the goal line is out of bounds. It is used by the sideline officials (usually deep wings: FG & SG) to determine when a touchdown is scored or not on plays that are at made at one of the four corners of the endzone. In the NFL, the ball has to be inside the pylon when running into the endzone to be considered a touchdown. In the NCAA starting this year (2012), and part of the player can touch the pylon and as long as the ball is inside the goal line extended (extending into the out of bounds area), to be considered a touchdown. In high school, the ball has to cross the goal line extended to be considered a touchdown.
The NFL set precedence on December 14, 2008 on what a touchdown reception is. Typically, it is when any part of the ball, legally in possession of a player inbounds, breaks the plane of the opponent's goal line, provided it is not a touchback or when the ball is touched on the pylon before a player goes out of bounds. Apparently, now, it is when the players feet are both in the end zone and the ball is in their possession, but does not break the plane of the opponent's goal line. According to a Google search, the rule regarding pylon touchdown dives was revisited and clarified. Previously, a player just had to have some portion of his body over the goal line or pylon to count a touchdown, but the rule was revised for 2007 to make it necessary to have the ball touch the pylon or break the plane above the pylon to count as a touchdown.
As long as your feet are down inside the endzone or part of your body is toughing the inside of the endzone...in NFL you must have complete control of the ball while having BOTH feet down in the end zone.

Pylon
An average electricity pylon typically weighs around 10-20 tons, depending on its design and size. The weight can vary based on the materials used, such as steel or concrete, and the height of the pylon.
Well in starcraft II there is the pylon and the warp prism in starcaft I i think its just the pylon The pylon can transport created units immediately to that area where the pylon is. Many ppl call this a proxy pylon because u can cheese this in ur opponents base, warp in like 2 zealots and harass The warp prism functions like a pylon, pumping in units. But it can move, and trasport units like a medivac. Its kinda expensive so pros dont particularly use them too often.
