What's so hard to believe there, especially with Young? Sorry, he was a great player, but as a talking head, he is sad. And if Madden were a ref, there would never be a holding call, but in his defense, he is consistent.
Actually I just got back from lunch and had the opportunities to watch the reruns again in slow motion. On Ben's TD, the ball was without question directly above the goal line before he got pushed back. The officials have nothing to apologize for on that call.
On the holding call, I would say I think I now see what the official saw. While the camera angle didn't show the offensive lineman's left hand, the way the pass rusher's right shoulder was quickly yanked back and downward would lead one to think that the O-lineman may have had a handful of shirt. That is what the official may have seen but the camera didn't. You'll note that there wasn't a protest from the lineman who was flagged.
Just checked an unscientific poll on Sports Illustrated online....pretty funny. Question: Who was the biggest goat of the Superbowl? 56 % - The Refs, lol
Actually, check out some of the sports websites, SI.com, Sporsline.com, etc. and they have columns up all over the place saying the refs became a factor in the game. Sad.
