I'll throw in my 2 cents.

I was rooting for the Seahawks. I agree, the officials made some questionable calls.

But, that's part of the game. Human eyes make human mistakes. Ya gotta play better than the officiating in hopes to win. And the Seahawks didn't capitalize on the Pittsburgh mistakes early.

To you Seahawk fans -- the Seahawks didn't play that great of a game. A game that comes down to deciding if the officiating was spot on, means you didn't overcome all the obstacles in order to win the championship game. It happens. No big deal. It's the first time in 30 years the team's been to the Super Bowl. Now we know the Seahawks can do it!

To you Steeler fans -- Congrats. But I wouldn't be patting myself on the back too much. The Steelers out and out sucked the first half. There wasn't too much to root for in the second half either. There were a few good plays, and that was good enough to beat a team that wasn't given a snowball's chance in hell to pull through. A win is a win, and I believe in the old adage it's better to be lucky than good. But it sure didn't look like any of the players were busting tail out there on the field yesterday.

Now, now! An overstatement..... the Seahawks were only 4 point underdogs.
