From the horse's mouth

Before David Letterman got to shave Ben Roethlisberger's beard Monday night, he got the Steelers' Super Bowl-winning quarterback to admit a little something that might rankle Seahawks fans even more.

Roethlisberger told Letterman that he didn't think he scored on a controversial play in the second quarter that put the Steelers ahead for good 7-3. Roethlisberger dove toward the end zone but didn't appear to get the ball to touch the goal line. But officials on the field signaled touchdown.

"I told Coach, 'I don't think I got in,'" Roethlisberger told Letterman.

Even all the Steelers fans in the room with me (me, all alone, sitting in my seahawks jersey) agreed it wasn't a touchdown. How could they rule that a touchdown? Fuckers.

Of course, having said that, it's the Superbowl, there are the intricacies of judging a game that big and, well, damn, sometimes the call goes for you and sometimes against. This time. And a lot of other times in this game, they went against my seahawks. It just sucks that Seattle dominated most of the game and because of bad officiating, they lost.

I don't even follow football, and I don't care for the Steelers or the Seahawks... but that one play really irked me. It really seemed to me like he pushed it out on purpose. And I was SO SURE that the replay was going to overturn it. And then it never did!

If they hadn't piddled around the rest of the game, they might not have lost. I'm sorry, but I've seen Mighty-Mite teams run a better two minute drill than the Seahawks did.
