RENTON, Wash. (AP) -NFL referee Bill Leavy has reopened a Seahawks’ wound that won’t close by acknowledging he made mistakes in Seattle’s disputed, 2006 Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The veteran official began an annual rules interpretation session with the Seattle media on Friday by bringing up the sore subject without being asked.
Leavy says he “kicked two calls in the fourth quarter” and “impacted the game, and as an official you never want to do that.”
The veteran official of 15 NFL seasons says the game “left me with a lot of sleepless nights” and that “I’ll go to my grave wishing that I’d been better.”
This week is the first time since that game that Leavy has been in Seattle with the Seahawks.
