From Rick Reilly:
"Why is nobody talking about Antrel Rolle!" All he did was lose the Super Bowl for the Cardinals! Rolle, the Cardinals' safety, was on the sideline at the end of the first half when Steelers linebacker James Harrison intercepted Kurt Warner at the goal line and began his unthinkable 100-yard touchdown rumble. That was a 14-point swing for the Steelers and turned the game. But Cards' wide receiverLarry Fitzgerald was close to catching Harrison at the 30 when he ran smack into Rolle, who had stepped onto the field go get a good look at Harrison going past. Fitzgerald slammed into Rolle, pushed him out of the way, had to start over and didn't get to Harrison again until the goal line, when it was too late
Did this really happen? I've long since deleted the SuperBowl from my tivo, so I had to go to YouTube...
Wow...
Harrison barely made that touchdown. If Rolle stays off the field and Fitzgerald doesn't run into him...
CURSE YOU ANTREL ROLLE!!!

The issue wasn't Rolle it was Fitzgerald. He ran all the way down the field out of bounds to get around the Steelers blockers. Even when he tackled Harrison he was standing out of bounds. I thought that was illegally (guess I'm wrong). Another point is there was still one second on the clock when Harrison scored. I don't know why they didn't have to kick off (it would have been an onside kick). I know if they would have ruled it no TD the Steelers would have challenged it and they would have put one second on the clock.
