Illegal Forward Pass Ruling in SD-PIT Game

[PeteBooth]

I cannot believe that some are naive.

Some facts to ponder

1. Legal betters in Las Vegas had an $83 Million swing on the outcome of the game.

2. 13 Penalties on Pittsburgh to 1 for the Chargers. The pass interference call on the Steelers in the first / second quarter was simply a joke

3. The score was 11-10 - Steelers won so why even bother going over the play to begin with whether the call was right / wrong - It meant NOTHING at that point. The Chargers didn't care - They lost and the Steelers didn't care they ALREADY won.

4. IR's main use is to make certain that no team gets hosed - Not change the score to accomodate a point spread. There was absolutley no reason for the Replay official to even get involved with this.

It's funny in that some people accuse baseball players of taking steroids WITHOUT any HARD proof other than some testimony refuse to accept that there is something "shaky" that went on in the SD / Steelers game and the NFL is doing it's best to make it go away.

You know the saying "If it walks and talks like a duck"

We already had an NBA official who cheated the game. To think that he is the ONE and ONLY official ever to do that is IMO being Naive.
