Talk to me about bad calls…

https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=5444048

RENTON, Wash. — NFL referee Bill Leavy acknowledged he made mistakes in the Seattle Seahawks’ 2006 Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The veteran official began an annual training-camp rules interpretation session with the Seattle media after practice on Friday by bringing up the subject without being asked.

“It was a tough thing for me. I kicked two calls in the fourth quarter and I impacted the game, and as an official you never want to do that,” said the veteran of 15 NFL seasons and two Super Bowls.

“It left me with a lot of sleepless nights, and I think about it constantly,” Leavy said of the February 2006 game. “I’ll go to my grave wishing that I’d been better.”

Several calls went against the Seahawks in their 21-10 loss to the Steelers. It was Seattle’s only Super Bowl appearance.
