Referee: I Owe Patrick Corcoran an Apology

The headline says: Referee: Polamalu's return for TD should have counted for Steelers. The correct ruling would have won me about 1000 pesos, as the Steelers (minus 5) were the final game in an otherwise winning three-team parlay. A penalty disparity that wasn't thirteen to two in the Chargers' favor would have probably done the trick, too. I left to cash in the ticket at the casino thinking that it was an 18-10 final, so the right call would have saved me an embarrassing conversation with the sportsbook manager as well, whom I all-but-demanded to see. Roger Goodell: fix the refs. I demand satisfation.
