NFL referee Pete Morelli is having a rough week.

On Sunday, Morelli made one of the more controversial calls in NFL history, overturning what appeared to be an interception by the Steelers' Troy Polamalu. On Monday, his Stockton, Calif. home was vandalized, according to police reports.
Lieutenant Thomas Wells of the Stockton Police Department told FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer that a police report was filed after a rock was thrown through Morelli's living room window late Monday night after Morelli and his wife had gone to bed. Lt. Wells emphasized that police had no suspect and no motive in the case and could not say with any degree of certainty whether the act of vandalism was related to Sunday's call.

"We are aware of the situation and we're cooperating with police in any way we can," said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.

On Monday, the NFL admitted that Morelli had erred when he used instant replay to overturn the interception. Mike Pereira, the league's VP of officiating, said in a statement that the call on the field should have stood.

1. Honestly, don't these drunken fans have anything better to do?

Geesh, it's only a game. Bone-headed call or not, it's only a game, and in the end didn't affect the outcome.

2. A bad call is a heinous crime, regardless of outcome!

7. Just try to recall the last time you listened to the local news, or read

the local newspaper in a town where you DIDN'T like the local sports team! Admit it, that's hell on earth!

8. When you call an interception an incompletion...shit happens.

Just ask the Post's ombudsman.
