      Cower is barking up the wrong tree-the official under the goal post tossed the hanky. I was a referee for high school, youth, NAIA Collegiate and Arena-the umpire and I count the offense, my deep officials count the defense, it’s that simple. Your grandfather was a GREAT referee and should’ve had at least one Super Bowl on his resume. Very few seasons was he not assigned a postseason assignment. So sorry you lost him 20 years ago-71 is 10-15 years too young. Hopefully you have many fond memories of him.

    The refs have been fucking it up since the start of the league. It's been tradition.

    This is the difference between real coaches and pretenders like Mike Tomlin

    Wait! There was a time in the NFL that there was no replay?

      IIRC instant replay's first year was 1986, then they got rid of it in 1990 or '91, then brought it back in '98.

      But Jim Brown and Bradshaw look especially young. Lol

      Bradshaw kind of looked old when he was still an active player. He may have even looked old when he was playing college ball at La. Tech.

    It’s not a penalty that’s reviewable is it?

    This is one of many reasons for why I'm against instant replay. You don't get hillarious moments such as this. You get robbed of the human aspect of sports. We've gone too robotic as a society.

    The refs obviously didn't get Spinal Tap......the Amp goes to 11.......not 10, and not 12. It's 11 @$$ hole!
    Cowher just RULES!
    Fantasy move, next time the teams line up, the Steelers ignore the ball, spread out and open field forearm shiver layout every ref on the field,and sideline. Then they stand over them like Jack Lambert tossing Cliff Harris in the Super Bowl .
    Now that's NFL Reffing getting fixed.....instead of the fix we get in every NFL game we get now.
    The NFL Brand SUCKS!
