Every time, I say to myself "This is the last Super Bowl post." Sigh.
I've been inundated with mail this morning from hysterical Hawks fans claiming that on Letterman, Big Ben admitted he didn't get into the end zone. Talk about hearing what you want to hear. He did nothing of the kind. In recounting the story of that moment in the game, Ben said that during the officials' review, he walked up to Cowher and said he didn't think he got in. During the review. As in before he saw the footage. After he saw the footage, he's said many times he thought the ball broke the plane.
Me, I can't tell with any certainty. Unless you're a Hawks fan and you're blessed with special super powers denied the rest of the world, you can't really see how he's holding the ball. Maybe he got in. Maybe he didn't. You'd need a laser to tell.
Thank you for your attention. You may now go back to jerking one another off.
