>>>>I thought you disbelievers were saying all along that Ben had the ball in his left hand.

I was wrong. If I had seen the play on video a few more times, it would have been obvious where the ball was at what point. The defender came in a little later to knock the ball loose. But that doesn't change the simple fact. The ball never crossed the goal line. I agree with you that having an opportunity to view the entire play with fastforward/rewind/slowmotion would help settle everything. Too bad we don't have that available with tele-conferencing capabilities.

>>>> ... for the life of me, I cannot understand how seemingly relatively intelligent people are so bent out of shape on this.

Some folks are bent outta shape. Not me. OTOH. I'd like to know why you're still posting your opinionated crap to me. Down below you once again find it necessary to take cheap personal pot shots. You have evoked Reagan's name several times, took after me with profanity and you're still not satisfied. Geez louise! And all because I said the following in post #271.

"And Roethlisberger DID NOT make it into the end zone. "

WTF is up with you??? You show a serious problem with people who choose not to agree with you. Haven't you learned after 58 years, THAT'S LIFE! Time to move on. Time for you to get a life.

Btw, have a nice day.

Btw, have a nice day.

LOL..... you too.

" You show a serious problem with people who choose not to agree with you." --- I have problems with people who don't know how to say they're wrong when they are.

You admit you haven't the video to review as we do here, yet you still claim Ben didn't score. Your still photos are worthless to ascertain the truth.

You're just stone wrong.......... but to tell you the truth, I don't care.

One more thing. Let me tell you, please. When I was watching the game originally Sunday night, when Ben's attempt toward the goal line was made, I didn't think he made it. Then that referee came hustling in from the sideline and BELATEDLY threw up his arms to indicate a TD. I really thought right then ..... this is bull, that ref threw his arms up AFTER Ben had landed then moved his arm with the ball in it over the goal line. I thought right then that Seattle was getting jobbed.

You don't know me. I played professional sports, and I disdain bad officiating, I hate it when good play is punished or not rewarded.

It was only later (this week) that I saw film that clearly illustrated that Ben had the ball over (above) the goal line.

And, as I said before, that was only third down. Cowher has said he would have gone for the TD anyhow if the refs had said Ben was short.

So leave it alone, really. You just don't have the evidence, and it really doesn't matter.

One more thing. I don't appreciate having so many bad vibes with a FReeper with your screen name.
