Change in Sunday’s official NFL scorebook

Today at 2:26pm

Per a memo planned to be released publicly later today (11-17-08) or tomorrow, the National Football League as represented by the Commissioners’ Office is changing the final result of the Steelers/Chargers 11-16-08 National Football League game from Steelers 11 Chargers 10 to Steelers 17 Chargers 10. This is in congruence with the established power of the Commissioners’ Office.

Also, the final play is updated as a fumble lost by SanDiego Chargers Chris Chambers, recovered by the Pittsburgh Steelers Troy Polamalu and a 12 yard touchdown return with a decline penalty of an illegal forward pass. There is no PAT. Referee Scott Green has been informed that the normal disciplinary and review actions will be taken. It also re-iterates Referee Green's long standing service in the National Football League. There is no comment on the effects of an official scoring change on ancillary activities outside the normal business operations of the National Football League.

(just so you know, this is a hoax, but nothing if not a little fun!)
