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.

I know that when it comes to the score and the total outcome of the game, it really didn't make much of a difference. But when it comes to sportsmanship....

Yeah, but as I said, by my eye, he had gotten it across as much as he needed to, and even if I didn't think he did, I don't think that there was enough visual evidence to overturn the call on the field.

I'm pretty bummed that Seattle lost, though. :(
