Very little sports terminology makes any sense if one tries to take it
literally. Someone decides to use a term and it sticks through time and rule
changes. Why waste time worrying about it. /jmac

Or the person...?!
I watched a game once on cable where they used a video replay for one
of the several hundred referees to decide whether the ball had
crossed the 'plane' of the line. I assumed it was enough for the ball
to kiss the air of the endzone while being held by a player who was
in play. Changed that have they?
Plant the ball in the grass with one clean movement with downward
pressure - that's a touchdown mate!
