The referee for the spectacularly botched, extremely-important-to-bettors ending of the Chargers-Steelers game Sunday was Scott Green.
(Here is the Las Vegas Review-Journal story on the confusion at sports books.)
Six years ago, Green was the back judge who failed to realize guard Rich Seubert was an eligible receiver when he was hauled down illegally by Chike Okeafor at the end of the Giants’ epic playoff loss to the 49ers.
I attended the Ravens-Giants game Sunday and had a nice chat with Seubert, with whom I had a very friendly working relationship in my Giants beat days and who has made an amazing comeback from having his leg broken into many pieces to become a member of the best line in football.
Seubert had a better weekend than Green did, which is poetic justice of some sort.
