incorrect statement removed: intentional grounding requires that the pass be thrown to prevent imminent loss of yards, but clock management is fine
Deleted line(s) 19 (click to see context) :
* ArtisticLicenseSports: In two games, Mox hits an obnoxious mascot on the sideline with the ball after the snap. The film treats this as a clever way to stop the clock (i.e. spike the ball). In reality, this would be ruled as intentional grounding and would result in a loss of a down and ten yards. However, this would hinge on whether there was a nearby receiver, and the ball "[[ContrivedCoincidence just happened]]" to bean the mascot on a botched pass.
