Hi dave i live in England and i watched this game and went to bed thinking yehh ive won 1,000 pounds only for the next day to hear it was called back at 11-10. Even to this day the whole thing stinks and it still upsets me i won 1,000 but yet was cheated out of winning it and it hurts deep down. But i really liked ur blog u spoke a lot of sense and ur little show was very interesting and u seem like a smart guy who knows his stuff well done and thanks for ur views, Craig

It does sound a little fishy to me too. If they later ruled that the touchdown was a touchtown, why didn't that happen when they reviewed it during the game. It's a shame that you have to worry about "powers above" to have an impact on a game, but that seems to be the case here. With economy the way it is, may have something to do with it, but still not right no matter what!

No funny business on this game, tough break on guys like myself that gave the Steelers to my clients and we could have had a gift from god there, but I guess god had the chargers +5.5... So tough luck!

I believe the fix was on...for several reasons. Pittsburgh was penalized 15 times to San Diego 2 (or something like that).

The look on Rothlisberger's face when Pitt scored was a look of "oh shit" when his team scored. He would have been excited...he helped play the game to a winner/non-cover.

Finally, in reviewing the 'services picks' Pittsburgh (-5.5) was one of the most 'touted' picks of the day. It was the most highly promoted "lock pick".

64m on one game, WOW. Dave, I think they just didn't care because either way the Steelers win the game outright and I think they did not do a video review because I think they did not care about the spread. However, you never know. Thank you for the video. Have yourself a magnificent day. peace.

I heard that Tim Donaghy was actually the Back Judge. He likes wearing the jersey with "BJ" on the back because it reminds him of how many vegas books he gets on his knees for. Funny Business for sure
