I WIN!→[More:]
I won this thread. So don't even bother trying to win it, because I already did. Suck it, haters.
I hate to tell you this, iconomy, but your win was just overturned on a technicality. That, and the fact that we all know you've been using performance-enhancing drugs.
"I've been thinking about your magic - the way you give each person a tiny little crowbar to help crack a little more tartar off his or her heart. OK, it's a slightly repulsive analogy, but if you were a dentist it might really speak to you."
--Laurel Sanford, Corporate Consultant, Marin County, CA
The important thing to note here is that, at no point does the ball have to actually go over the pylon. As long as it breaks the plane at some point -- even out of bounds -- and some part of Iconomy's body goes over the pylon, he scores and wins.
Did it ever occur to you that some other dude could have "scored" and "won" when you crossed the goal line? No? Spend some time thinking about your fellow man for once.
