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.

So, Big Ben goes on TV and confirms to the Nation what the Nation already knew, that he's a big fat cheater? Yeah, that's groundbreaking stuff there, Letterman.

Ben went down quite a few notches in my mind after that play, and the Referees' Association (except for Ed Hochuli) went with him.

Interesting, isn't it?

I've got a feeling that the only place that crew is going next January and February is the golf course. Truthfully, the block below the waist on Seattle's QB is the clinching call there: that's a whole crew screw-up, because they could have talked about it and fixed it.
