I thought this was an interesting obscure football rule.

He could still have thrown the ball away, rather than to an ineligible receiver. They're VERY permissive about calling grounding.
Further, if that bleeping Shaun Williams had been able to control his temper in his response to Terrell Owens's unsportsmanlike conduct, the Niners would have been penalized 15 yards with no offsetting Giant penalty, thus putting even Matt Bryant in field goal position.
Of course, all of that would be moot if Bryant's missed field goal had been good and/or Shockey had held on to that touchdown pass.
Oh, well, there's always next year.

LOL, and I thought NFL rules were the same as flag football when we played it in the back yard (anyone can throw, kick, pass, whatever).
All I know is my Niner-Fan Hubby is on cloud nine today.
