The game was as bad as the half time show. Being from Texas and a Cowboys fan, I really did not care who won the game, but I got the distinct impression that the Steelers were going to win, regardless of what happened on the field. Madden and Michaels kept talking about the Steelers and how they were going to break it open, and kept teasing us with the upcoming gadget plays, the crowd was stacked with Steelers fans, the bad calls and non-calls went consistently in the Steelers favor. Overall, I thought it as a lethargic game (expect for the 75 yard run!), and it felt like a predetermined outcome was inevitable. I doubt that to be the case, but that's how it felt for me.
The NFL has to do a better job with the Half-Time show. That was as bad as the game, and just as excruciating to watch.
Excuse me? There were an awful lot of non-calls that went against the Steelers. I think the bad calls evened out, it's just that most of the ones against Seattle were sins of commission, and those against Pittsburgh were sins of omission.
OH, AND, that was the worst sung National Anthem at a Super Bowl in a long time.
