16. The officiating in this game sucked!
as well as the coverage of the officiating. Why was Al Michaels so quick to try to make the case that the referree looked like he was about to call Roethlisburger down before he reached the goal line but then he changed his mind and signalled a touchdown? I saw no such thing. My father-in-law constantly tells me that Al Michaels is considered the best announcer in the game by his peers on a regular basis. I don't know where he gets his information but, whenever you can tell that the announcers favor a certain team by the sound of excitement rising in their voice(I have to endure Redskins coverage every week), as far as I am concerned, they are not doing their job? In my opinion, Al Michaels is one of the sorriest announcers in the game, right down there with Brent Musburger and the former crew from ESPN on Sunday nights.
