I live on the east coast. All the sports commentators were rooting for the Steelers, ALL chose the Steerlers to win.

What would they have to gain by commenting on the bad calls? Even during the game, Mr. Madden commented on what he saw as incorrect calls.

Are they all to be discounted?

And I respectfully disagree with him. Fact is, Madden should have retired a couple of years ago -- his analysis has been spotty at best. He also never gives Pittsburgh a fair shake, as he still holds a grudge dating back to the 70's...

Madden ALWAYS says holding calls are wrong, he's just against that rule. I'm a fan of Madden, have all his books, gotten every version of the game since I got a computer that could run them, but holding is one of his blind spots. I've watched most of the games he's done color on for at least 15 years and never heard him say a holding call was correct, the closest he ever gets is making no comment, if he comments he says they shouldn't have called it.
