And in spite of all the criticism, Phil Luckett was 100% correct. The putz for the Steelers changed his selection with the coin in the air. The NFL rules basically instruct game officials to accept first utterance. The Steelers player thought he was being smart.
But instead of the official being supported by Jerry Siemen and the NFL, he was given a pass with pay for his playoff assignment that year. Talk about a gutless reaction by the NFL.
Almost as bad as the TH we have to endure to watch softball on TV.
