Catching the Football at its Highest Point

Football announcers and analysts like to say that receivers are catching the ball at its highest point or at least they should catch it at its highest point. WRONG! The highest point occurs about halfway between the quarterback and the receiver (exactly where depends on many things, but, it is safe to say about halfway).

The thing they are probably trying to say is that the receiver should catch the ball as high as they can.

Does this annoy anyone else?

And here are a few pics:

HDMI Cable

I bought a 40 foot HDMI cable from Blue Jeans Cable. I haven't used it yet, but, they were easy to deal with during the ordering, shipping and payment processes.
