As usual with the NFL, it's not the lead...

Pete Morelli has been thrown out of Sunday night's Indianapolis-Pittsburgh game, as has his entire team.

The officials for the game have been reassigned or screwing up rigging the Arizona victory over San Francisco.

And when you see the Carson Palmer sack that was called roughing the passer on Quentin Dial, which you see the NFL's own video on the Yahoo! blog article here.  (The NFL does not allow direct embeds.)

I was even willing, on first look, to possibly see head-to-facemask contact, but the last replay shows that sack was clean as a whistle!

15 yards, first down, and the Cardinals held the ball 4 1/2 more minutes and scored the game-winning touchdown on the drive.

There was also a missed delay-of-game penalty and some down confusion, at least the former benefitting the Cards as well.

But it's not just the lead that Morelli and crew have been barred from the heavily-bet (and the blog article makes this point too!!!) Sunday-night game.

But it's where they landed:  Philadelphia-New England!!!

The jokes write themselves.
