Yes, it's called an illegal block to the back, it was blatant and it was ignored. The refs also called an obvious Jeramy Stevens fumble an incomplete pass-a horrible and unreviewable call. There was rampant holding going on by the Seahawks that wasn't called. Yes, the officiating was horrible, but it didn't give the Steelers the game.

Did the refs allow Parker to break a 75 yard run from scrimmage? Did the refs force Stevens to drop 3 passes? Did the refs cause Seattle's kicker to miss two field goals? Did the refs totally snow the Seahawks defense with a beautiful fleaflicker?

I'm so glad my kids aren't old enough to be reading any of this crap. We try to teach them about good sportsmanship and losing gracefully, but this post season has been all about whining babies blaming their losses on everyone else but their own teams.

I will never forget when Troy's interception was overturned in the Indianapolis game. Did he whine and complain? Nope. He listened to the umpire, grabbed his helmet and went back out to the field. None of the people who are complaining about the refs are discussing what you brought out below! How 'bout it, SEAHAWK fans?
