INSIDE THE NFL SIDELINES

[Rock Solid]

I just watched a part of the superbowl review on inside the NFL on showtime.

They showed a clip on the Harrison TD interception run that I had not seen before.
It showed Larry Fitzgerald getting pushed out of bounds on the play and then running into a cardinal player who was standing in the illegal white zone on the sidelines. If he does not run into his own player, he clearly has a shot to tackle Harrison around the 20. It still would give the steelers a FG shot because of the penalty against the cardinals. Fitzgerald ran out of bounds ( momentum ) for about 15 yards and came back into tackle Harrison after he ran straight into the spectating teammate. That is also a penalty but it still would not be a touchdown but a close FG attempt if the penalty had been called.

I always see it in Pee Wee, how the coaches are actually on the field of play and players are crowding the sidelines.
The Super Bowl play may have cost the Cardinals the game. We can never go back because all the decisions made after that would be different. But imagine a pro, getting all the way to the Super Bowl, and because HE had to be just a LITTLE bit closer to the field then he should be, cost his team at least 4 points. Hmmm what was the score anyway ? Wow, 27-23 , gee, that is four points now isn't it.
It is often the little things that screw up the big things.
He must have made it from Pee Wee through College, and then into the Pro's and to the Super Bowl and never understood what that white part that separates the players from the field is all about. Where where the coaches ?
In the white zone with him ?

I was really surprised when inside the NFL made a deal about it but it really happened.
