The devastating fumble took place in the Steelers-Cardinals rematch last week and cost Arizona fans several lost nights of sleep. The culprit? The Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion that this gridiron warrior rubs on his arms to keep his muscles warm. (You know how chilly Pittsburgh gets in August.) He explained the boo-boo on his blog, thusly:

I got a chance to return punts last night but I forgot about it until game time. I always put some real thick Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion on my arms because it keeps me warm and loose during games. I do it before every game but I forgot that I was returning punts on Thursday. I caught the punt perfectly, but as soon as I tucked it away I felt it start to slip. Then someone hit me from behind and it just slipped out.

Rolle then atoned for sins by spending the rest of this heated, no-holds barred, smash-mouth rematch between rival Super Bowl combatants on the sideline—participating in an impromptu dance contest between his teammates and opposing Steelers. THE HYPER-VIOLENCE! IT BLINDS ME!

Rolle makes it clear, without having any specific inside knowledge, that he doesn't think this was random at all.

He really didn't say too much," Rolle said, "but I know he lived his life pretty much scared every day of his life when he was down in Miami because those people were targeting him. At least, he's got peace now."

"They say it was a burglary. It absolutely was not a burglary," he said. "Down South, where we're from, there were many people talking to Sean, a lot of jealousy, a lot of angry people."

We're not sure this was the kind of peace Sean was looking for, Antrel, but thanks for your input. We're gonna know a heckuva lot more in a week than we do now.
