It seems pretty clear to me that the QB was out of the pocket when the receiver was pushed out of bounds. I took a [screen shot](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/89/rnatb.jpg/) when the push occurs. The USA Today article you linked explains why it was a correct call, btw. ---

I didn’t notice the timing thing until I went back to check. The screen shot is pretty convincing, though. ---

WTF was up with Fox piping in a BS recording of a crowd shouting “KUUUHN!” during the GB/STL game? They were in Edwards Jones Dome in a sea of blue. There were not near enough cheeseheads to make that sound and it was always the SAME sound everytime and always cut off exactly together. At least try to show some impartiality Fox. Favre is gone, you can put the GB boner away. ---

There were not near enough cheeseheads to make that sound and it was always the SAME sound everytime and always cut off exactly together. At least try to show some impartiality Fox. Favre is gone, you can put the GB boner away. Almost every report about the game has said, over and over, how loud the Packers fans were at the game. Aaron Rodgers: “This is one of the shorter trips for some of our fans, which is still a jaunt. I think it’s probably eight hours if you’re busting the speed limit a little bit. The chants are incredible and the boos that we had on one of those calls from our fans was incredible. It was louder than the cheers for the Rams.” Mike McCarthy: “Our fans are unbelievable. There are Packers fans everywhere. You’d think we’d be on Oneida Street (in Green Bay). We never get tired of hearing ‘Go Pack, Go!’ ” Chris Long: “I kind of expected that they’d be well-represented here. We just never got a chance to quiet them down." I think you may be wrong concluding it was piped in, or that Fox was trying to help GB. ---
