I thought God was behind us.

Is the rule that only the fumbler can advance their fumble in the last 2 minutes just an NFL rule?

Pet peeve: I hate it when writers use "unphased" instead of "unfazed."

Psych majors don't look for that detail. We are more interested in the emotion, motivations, and feelings behind the posts & articles.
I assume the writer had a tough childhood.

A couple of years ago, we came home from a vacation to find that one half of our house had power while the other half did not. (Regrettably the half of the house that contained our refrigerators was sans electricity.)
My hobby electrician father-in-law, who came over to take a look at it, determined that the fence we recently had installed in the back yard must have nicked the electrical service to the house, which was mutli-phased, leading to the loss for only part of the panel/house when the line eventually failed.
All of which is to say, I had the great pleasure of calling the power company to tell them I was unphased, and it was a problem.

I’ve been waiting for a context about reactions of various members of our solar system in which I could say that the moon was unfazed.
OTOH, you lose bass response if stereo speakers are unphased.

| From that angle, you can't tell if it was a good call or not. So spoiled by the additional cameras used for TV games. |

Because we have a bad camera angle, I immediately looked for an official. There is one standing right there on the sideline watching the play unfold and both he and the end zone official signaled TD immediately upon the fumble runner crossed the goal line. I think the fact that two officials had the correct angle probably verifies the call.
