After all the negative publicity pilots and the industry in general has received this was nice. Perhaps Leno will layoff the drunk pilot jokes for a few weeks.
 
UAL had exactly the same thing happen at ORD last year, with EXACTLY the same outcome. Ground the wheels off; the plane was sitting on centerline on the NW axel when MX arrived to drag it off the runway. It strangely got no news coverage at all. The culprit was an incorrectly installed NWS actuator. Apparently it isn't keyed very well and can be installed backwards without much effort, and if it is, it tries to command the nosewheel to 180 degrees on gear retraction. The gear obviously stops at its limit, and sticks there.

I heard on TV that the crew did an autolanding, that's why it looked so good.
