Whining about Watt punching the ball, and that he should have been ejected.... they post a punching rule as it pertains to punching another player.
WTF?
But then they go on to say that they whished they drafted Watt instead of the bum they did.
Sounds familiar (Bush}
I Googled the rule as it pertains to punching the ball.

Still steaming about Watt not getting ejected.
If its sufficiently egregious to the throw the flag its got to be an ejection surely. Maybe I can take an iron bar to Watt's face and just say "I was going for the ball". dBoJMLa2xpA

I Googled the rule as it pertains to punching the ball.
A player may not bat or punch:
(a) A loose ball (in field of play) toward his opponent’s goal line or in any direction in either end zone.
Then notes that:(b) A ball in player possession.
When has a penalty of this nature ever been called?Note: If there is any question as to whether a defender is stripping or batting a ball in player possession, the official(s) will rule the action as a legal act (stripping the ball).
