"THE GUY WAS JUST TRYING TO TACKLE YOU."



This is the excuse-de-jour offered by NFL referees for ignoring "penalties" (head slaps, late hits, etc.) committed against Ben Roethlisberger. Yes, Mr. Goodell, and exactly what the hell does that have to do with the price of Nike knock-offs in China? If you saw a befuddled No. 7 petitioning the referees (Terry McCauley and Walt Coleman) the past two weeks this is what he got in return. 


Right now I'm waiting for Mike Tomlin to come down off his pedestal and start challenging this situation. With his players it's expected that they do whatever is necessary. Mike? Would BIll Chower have overlooked this on a now week-by-week basis? THAT Bill Chower of the "shove a photo into the ref's pocket at half-time over a too-many-men-on-the-field penalty." He would be apoplectic, spitting on every striped-shirt in the tri-state area. Mike gives them the "big eyes."


As Mike Prisuta said, "If it's not a conspiracy it's selective incompetence."
