Occam's Razor
Boo hooo!
For the record the NFL ADMITTED the refs screwed up the call Porter was complaining about. And today the NFL said it pleased with the officiating in the Super Bowl- NO apologies forthcoming.
Replays, if you actually take the time to watch them, show clearly that Roethlisberger broke the plane of the goal with the ball. That's a TD, it doesn't matter where he lands after he got hit. And who cares what Roethlisberger thought at the time- it was a matter of an inch or two and there was no way he could have known if he made it or not. The replays put it to rest, he scored.
Replays also show Jackson reached out and pushed off Hope. Oh, Jackson claims he didn't touch him but he's wrong! It was a classic push off to get separation from a DB, for goodness sake if you don't want to get called don't push off right in front of a ref. "But it was just a light push, it never gets called" Hey, it's in the rule book, read it and weep!
Holding on Haggans to elimanate the catch at the goal line. Again watch the replay. If that's not holding just throw holding out of the rulebook altogether and let the offensive linemen do what they want. Hooked him, grabbed the jersey and HELD.
Boooo Hoooo!
