give that man a prize it's certainly is 5 yards and it's called the Chuck Rule.
As the defender has 5 yards to basically flatten the receiver before he has to let him free. Which of course they don't do as you watch more football you will notice that there is a lot of hand to hand combat between the receivers and the defenders. Pass interference can be called both ways. if the receiver throws the defender out of his way to catch the ball it is pass interference the problem is they call it on the offense as often as they call holding.
I'm not sure which has ruined football more TV or instant replays? I guess it's tv because when we have instant replays we have no action on the field and if we have no action on the field then we can have more commercials oh goody goody.
