Deep insights into SB XLIII from ESPN's Tim Hasseback

Relating to the final play of the first half,

Hasselback shows via video that Fitzgerald's pursuit of Harrison was promptly halted as he collided with his teammate Antel Rolle at about the 20yd line (as in with 20 yds more for Harrison to run). Had Rolle not been inconveniently situated, Fitzgerald presumably would have at least slowed Harrison's progress enough to allow time for bigger Cardinals to tackle the ball-carrier before the half ended. Had the above hypothetical occured, half-time would have occured with score 10-7 PGH.

Hasselback also states that Holmes TD celebration (The Lebron), where he uses the football as a prop (to figuratively shake chalk onto his hand and then swoosh them up to create a wizard like cloud to psych the crowd and James himself into the game, as well as to notch another clip on SportsCenter, undoubtedly), should have elicited a 15 yd. penalty, inflicted at the kick-off, giving the Cardinals presumably 15 yds. better of field position.

Hasselback then makes a case that Warner's last attempt should have been ruled an incomplete pass, and additionaly that it should have been ruled as a 15 yd. penalty (roughing the passer?, I can't remember!). The result of that would have put the Cardinals at their own 30 yd. line with 7 seconds to go, not counting the 15 yds. that should have been docketed at the kickoff, so potentially the Cardinals at their own 15 with 7 seconds to go, needing a TD to win the superbowl.

I thought, in the interest of free information, and second-guessers, ARZ fans, I should post this. I also appreciated Hasselback's insight.

But, in the end, I'm happy the Steelers won, and do not believe an asterisk, figuratively) should be added to the record books.
