- amish food. (drool)

- we know what chickens look like in real life

- i've probably seen my steak when i was driving before.

- steelers

- we also have real mexican food, because we have a lot of mexicans. that don't cook very well.

- free apples and corn if you walk through the field

- free apples if you know the right mexican (cause they pick the apples)

- never know what the weather is going to be (it's like a game)

- i don't know who my governer is, and neither does anyone else.

- steelers.

This proves that pro football is in danger. Sure it's the most popular sport in the U.S., but at what price?

This article makes it very obvious that the game was fixed and the officials were in on it. Is this what we get as football fans? For buying into the hype every offseason up to the opening kickoff in August? For watching every Sunday? For putting up with drama from atheletes and greed from owners?

I'm contemplating on whether to watch next season or not, because I don't know if I can watch all season and then get shafted with another horrible Super Bowl.

I'm tired of people complaining about the super bowl. The NFL agreed that there was one bad call. One. If you're more of an expert than they are, you should probably get a job officiating because you'll make a lot more money than you are now.

One bad call. lol Did you watch the game by chance? How can anyone that saw that abomination defend the officiating?

BTW. To answer your next post. I will stop "whining" about it when Steeler fans stop "bragging" about thier fake a$$ championship.

I'll agree with the people who have years more of experience than I do. I'm not really a Steelers fan or a Seahawks fan (Bengals fan here); I was just glad to see Jerome Bettis in the super bowl this year. I didn't care who won. I watched the game, and if the pros are going to say there was one bad call, I'll agree with it. The only other call that may be questionable would be Roethlisberger's touchdown. In my opinion, the ball crossed the line, then he was knocked back and landed on the field. Other than that...everything else was completely legit. So yeah, stop whining.

I thought Ben Roethlisberger was overrated until he played in the playoffs this year. He had a terrible game in the super bowl (as did everyone else except Hines Ward), but he really kicked ass for most of the playoffs.

Dude, the whole country wanted the bus to ride off a winner. Including the NFL! Unfortuneatly for the league and the officials, the Seahawks were so much better than the Steelers it was too obvious. Can you imagine what Joey Porter would be saying right now if the tables were turned? Don't EVER tell me there is no east coast bias.

I looked at that original article with the pictures. Whoever wrote that slanted the articles big time. If you REALLY look at the pictures, you can tell he's talking out of his ass for a lot of it.

I agree that the Seahawks had a better all around game than the Steelers. The Steelers had like 3 worthwhile plays, but they played them when it counted.
...

Apr 8, 2006, 4:38 PM
It was a Seattle guys point of view. The first two look like holds to me but he says they were legal. Whatever, there are numerous pics of steelers doing the SAME THING. No flags. Have you heard/read the NFL defend the Jackson TD? Laughable. The Seahawks played when it counted too, they were just penilized for it.
...

Jackson pushed off. Technically, that's pass interference no matter how you look at it. Yes, that amount of contact isn't called often, but if you're going to the rule books (as you should), then it's pass interference. He pushed the guy away to get an advantage. Chris Carter and Jerry Rice have agreed with that call; if they don't know offensive pass interference, I don't know who would.
...

Apr 8, 2006, 5:11 PM
Going by the rule book, that was actually defensive pass interference. If there was a legit push off it should have been off set by the hold.
...
spum

Apr 8, 2006, 5:14 PM
I didn't see any holding. I also remember all of the announcers saying, "Yep. That's pass interference." You're not going to win this one. It was pass interference. Even if you did win this one, it wouldn't change anything.

I seem to remember Madden saying it was a "Pitter-pat call" that had no place in the game.
...

Apr 8, 2006, 5:35 PM
You're not remember correctly then. I remember them agreeing on it being pass interference, but the same case in a different game may not have been called. In other words, it wasn't much pass interference...but pass interference nonetheless.
...

The other article did seem biased but it's not like pics were doctored or anything. This one coming from a reputable journalist and Steelers supporter makes me feel better about my conspiracy theory.

Apr 9, 2006, 12:26 PM
that pass interference call was a little nit picky but according to the rule book he did push off, the rule book doesn't say that barely pushing off is okay, it's kind of like getting pulled over for doing 72 in a 70, no matter how you look at it, it's still speeding

And your east coast bias doesn't really hold if you look at all the west coast teams that have won the super bowl. Like the 49ers 5 times.
...

Apr 9, 2006, 11:45 AM
That's not a bias. The 49ers deserved to win every Super Bowl bc they were that good.

Apr 9, 2006, 11:39 AM
Did you even read the article in the previous post? That's what I'm basing my argument off of. I felt the same way about people complaining that the Super Bowl sucked (which it did, btw) and that the officiating was horrible. Then I read the article and I'm convinced the officials were in on what may have been a fixed Super Bowl. And the fact that fans are willing to turn a blind eye on cheating, which they already have with baseball, is evidence to me that fans don't really care about the sport, they're just happy with winning Super Bowls at any cost, including cheating.

i'm not an expert and don't claim to know as much as the officials do, but i do know that with the exception of the big ben touchdown you can analyse just about any game during the season and find just as many or more mistakes by the officals, it's part of the game, these mistakes are just being blown out of proportion bc it was the sb, personally i feel that most of the "wrong calls" were right, bear in mind that the officials are watching the game at live speed on almost every one of the plays and don't have the luxury of wathing every play frame by frame over and over again analysing every players actions, it is still a game played and officiated by human beings, nobody's perfect deal with it
...

Apr 10, 2006, 9:46 PM
You don't have to be an expert. Take away what the calls were for, and think about when they were made. Every time the Hawks started to get any kind of momentum, there was a back breaking call to reverse it.

"You can call holding on every play."

Why were there only holding calls on big plays by Seattle? It didn't matter how well the Hawks played, they wouldn't have been allowed to win.
