Head linesman Mark Hittner didn't seem so sure of it, hesitating before signaling touchdown.

No, this has never happened before...A ref hesitating on a call...can you say conspiracy?... - tinfoil

Deny all you want chief, yes the Steelers won...but they won the worst officiated superbowl in the game's history. And were, heavily I met add, on the recieved end of beneficial calls.

Yep, the Steelers...lots to be proud of.

LOL, COL. The officiating was horrible. That doesn't make it a conspiracy... except of dunces.

It's a fact that the ref hesitated...in fact, it looked like he was calling it short...then as he ran closer, at the same point where Roethlisberger had moved the ball over the line while lying on the ground the ref called it a TD. Replay was inconclusive, I would agree...but what you call "tinfoil" is a fact, the ref hesitated. Yes, that happens fairly often, and personally, I think it was a bad call, but it was a very close call, not like many of the much worse calls. Tell me, how can you do a low block when you're actually making a tackle? Was Hasselbeck suppose to just do 2 hand touch or something?
