It left me with a lot of sleepless night, and I think about it constantly. I'll go to my grave wishing I'd been better.Leavy is too hard on himself: Seven times he and his zebra brethren flagged the least penalized team in the NFL with one questionable or outright blown call after another.

Leavy terminated a Seahawk goal line stand with extreme prejudice when he gave Ben Roethlisberger this phantom TD:
