Some of these are long overdue.  Like #2: “Chuck the tuck rule.”  You know the tuck rule. It’s the one that has us looking at Kurt Warner fumbling the ball over and over and over again in slow-mo to see if his arm was moving forward?  Here’s the exact wording of the rule:

“NFL Rule 3, Section 21, Article 2, Note 2: When (an offensive) player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his arm starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble.”
