Vegas says thanks

Referee: Polamalu's INT return should have counted for Steelers
The first 11-10 game in NFL history shouldn't have ended that way, referee Scott Green said after a last-minute touchdown was errantly taken away from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

The officiating mistake didn't affect the outcome since the Steelers still would have won, but the touchdown would have changed the score to 17-10 -- or, more likely, 18-10, since the teams were lined up for an extra-point try that was never attempted.
Still, even though it happened at the end of the game the points won't be given back to the Steelers. Hope you didn't bet any money on the Steelers to cover the 4.5 point spread, otherwise the NFL just fucked you in the ass. According to Pregame.com this blown call resulted in a $64 million dollar swing in favor of the bookies. Vegas says thanks Mr. Goodell, a briefcase full of money and a Dominican midget hooker are in the Hummer out back.
