This is just getting funny now. So in the second picture, the part labeled as Ben's glove----what is it actually? And the huge white patch isn't his right wristband? And the football is just being pushed in front of Ben----because clearly there is no arm around that large, elbowish football that you see.

The first picture completely refutes the idea that the second picture shows the football, and not Ben's elbow, going across the goalline.

Your link is proof? I wasn't aware that football was not a dynamic activity where people actually move, and that each play can be encapsulated by a still picture. The tip of the ball CLEARLY cross the beginning of the white stripe. I have no horse in this race, and I think the Seattle TD interference call was bogus, but Roethlisberger scored that touchdown according to the rules of the game.

NO the white part is his wristband just as you say. But other than that you are seeing what you want to see because you want to be able to say your team was robbed and that they would have won if not for the game being stolen. The poor time management, dropped passes, and missed FG's obviously had nothing to do with the outcome.

What I said was that when Roth and the defender com shoulder to shoulder the involuntary reaction will be for the arm to swing down and forward -- which is exactly what that picture shows. You can see Roths arm has changed positions -- you see his upper arm, the wirstband, and you aso can see his forearm has swunf down and his glove has moved slight down and behind his left arm -- all consistent with the arm being forced down and forward by a blow to the shoulder --- and cradles right in the middle of all that is a small brown object known as a football.

as I said physics are a wonderful thing.

Finally for the person who mentioned the Titans-Bills game -- I forever curse you. it was a forward lateral, my Bills never lose, they only have games stolen from them, let me search for fuzzy photos to prove my point!!!
