I wanted to be careful when I posted this blog to make sure my facts were straight. There were mutiple key plays that I think the referees messed up. The first one was the 100 yard touchdown return. After I reviewed the play on youtube, it looks like pittsburgh defense was offsides. If you watch the entire play closely, (terrible with numbers and names) the guy behind Harrison was holding the intended reciever of the ball.
Next problem. Harrison should have been thrown out. Its exciting to see a few punches thrown, maybe a push or a shove, but he was way out of line.
The last two touchdowns. Fitzgerald tackled the steelers ball carrier at BEFORE THE line (his knee was down from the reverse side. The last touchdown he didnt have control of the ball until his right foot was in air and then he fell out of bounds WITH ONLY one foot on the ground...but its all how the referees define control of the ball.
I am a professional umpire and I know how hard it is to be a sports official. I have made a few errors in multiple games, but I feel as if the cardinals had somewhat biased officials in this game!
Now on the reverse side. Kurt Warner needs to be let go. If he hit every one of his passes, the cardinals would have been up by 12 at the end. Dont tell me its the people protecting him fault. The entire game they gave him 2-9 secs to make a play after the hike....9 secs! He was good on the road to the superbowl, but choked when it came down to it.
Problem number two. Fitzgerald got the ball on very few occasions. He jumps 11 feet in the air and was the fast runner on the field....give him the ball?
oh and the lakers won...Kobe had 36 points, 8 Rebounds , and 7 assists.
Lakers 115- Raptors 107
