PITTSBURGH -- Raiders defensive end Richard Seymour has been ejected for an openhanded punch to Ben Roethlisberger's face as the Steelers quarterback was celebrating a touchdown pass.
After completing the 22-yard throw to Emmanuel Sanders, Roethlisberger jumped into the arms of tackle Flozell Adams. Roethlisberger then began walking forward and appeared to say something to Seymour, who turned and struck the quarterback in the jaw with his open right hand.
As Roethlisberger went to his back, lineman Chris Kemoeatu grabbed Seymour. Both Seymour and Kemoeatu drew penalties, but only Seymour was ejected.

Instead of repeating yourself you should read what’s written, all you did was throw caps into already refuted points. I’m pklenty fine with looking at things objectively, bring some objective proof. I’m not saying if it’s not on tape it didn’t happen. I’m saying your report of what the announcer supposedly said isn’t proof. Having it on tape would be proof. I watched live, I didn’t see anybody throwing punches except Seymour, I did see pushing and shoving, and that was all on camera because that was after the play and they were showing the celebration, it was only a 22 yard pass, the cameras hadn’t moved that far, which you can tell because they caught the punch on camera.
Damn it! Don’t believe what you see or hear! discostu will tell you what you saw!!! So sit down and quit upsetting the mighty all-knowing discostu. He knows all... and believe me, is more than happy to tell you, so hush, you little peon of a person, you!
There, discostu, I cleared the deck for you. Go ahead, stand up and let yourself be heard! Everybody! Shhhush!!!
Well? C’mon, your mighty fingers on the keyboard? Ready.... set..... SPOUT!
Awww you’re so cute when you’re acting like a petulant 12 year old. Got any clips of those punches you say you saw yesterday? Or are you too busy rolling your eyes to poke around youtube?
It’s funny you guys are saying I’m saying you shouldn’t believe what you saw. Because that’s exactly what you’re saying. I saw the play, I saw the after the play, I only saw Seymour’s punch. You’re not saying you saw the play at all, but you are saying that the announcer said there was more punching. But I should ignore what I saw because you say somebody else said there was more punching. Could you at least produce the audio of the announcer, then at least it’s only second hand not third.
That’s all you’ve got huh? I noticed you’ve now fled from the “game on the line calls favor the Steelers” myth at least. Not man enough top admit you’re wrong, but at least you’re not spouting that.
I can throw plenty of criticisms at the Steelers. But the truth is still the truth, and the truth is all you’ve got a 3rd hand “proof” of any punches other than Seymour’s.
Oh look, youtube works:

Now as you watch around second 9 you can see a Steeler player shove a Raider and it looks like there might be a U at the end of that Steeler’s name, which would probably make him Kemoeatu who got the offsetting personal foul. But there aren’t any other punches.
See it’s not hard to find the tape. It’s the 21st century, all kinds of crap winds up on youtube.
