That will fuel the conspiracies but the bias comes from the league offices. Do you think the Steelers would have been a little more than upset if Nick Harper had run that last minute fumble recovery back for a touchdown for the Colts two weeks ago AFTER the refs blew the interception by Polamolu? Even though they won the freaking game Joey Porter was screaming profanities about it.

Lets just face the facts, the NFL already knows who they want to win the playoff games and they do what they can to help that along. Nobody, anywhere, at any time, in any corner of the world except Seattle, wanted the Seahawks to win. And the refs just help make sure that it didn't accidentally go the wrong way. (DISCLAIMER: I am not a Seahawks fan by any stretch of the imagination and I do not hate the Steelers. I have no dog in this fight but it was impossible not to notice the obvious)

You know, even if you buy into the goofy "conspiracy in the NFL" theory, its generally predicated on the idea that the league wants certain big-market teams to win in the playoffs, so that they can get better ratings in the next game.

Who exactly are the Steelers playing next week?

I think that watching the game proved that the pittsburg players were nothing but a bunch of punks since they were always cheap shotting the seattle player. Its apparently the people in pittsburg dosent know a thing about sportsmanship.
