You're piling on the algore talking points now.

If the military absentee ballots are thrown out, and we recount these three blue counties again while including dimpled chads, and then also count Buchanan votes as Gore votes.....



Grow up.

And pit fans are complaining about a polamalu int in the indy game!

Hasn't the NFL admitted that was the wrong call?

Yes, but what was the score when that happened? Where on the field did that happen? Didnt the colts still have to go 50+ yards to score a TD? Even after scoring that TD they were still losing. IF fatboy bettis could have held onto the ball, OR if the Steelers could have stopped the Colts from scoring that TD after the bad call or Stopped Petyon from getting them into field goal range. nobody would even rememebr that call.

Steelers won that game despite the call the NFL admitted was wrong.

The score that followed it was their own damn fault, because the non-interception was midfield, and it was the Steelers who let Indy march down to score.

Then they fumbled, and let them get in FG range.

How can you say one bad call, is on par with giving Pit 7 and possibly 7 more with the Randel el td. and Subtracting 14 from Seattle. The TD pass interference, and the pass to the 1 yrd line (holding) that turned into Pits randel el play.

Because the stuff in red didn't happen.

So the pass interference was legitimate and that holding call was legitimate?

The pass interference call was legitimate. The holding call did NOT result in addition or removal of any points (that was Seattle's fault).

Do you really believe that? I have to ask, did you watch the game?

And you know the rule on defensive holding right? Why was he touching the reciever past 5 yards? Uhh huh... Strange how pit had no holding calls against them

Karl Rove didn't want any, so Diebold suppressed them.

I like jokes

Jerome Bettis you were just given a Super Bowl ring how do you feel? :)
Ben Roethlisberger you are the worst Qb in Super Bowl history how do you feel?

A smily-face doesn't make your moon-battery any more palatable or less lame.

maybe you didnt notice the team with the better stats were made to be the loser.

"Made to be the loser"?!?!? Holy crap, you're a professional victim. What's the difference between you and the simpering DUmmies who still think Bush stole the election?

Roethlisberger worst QB rating in Super Bowl History for a team that was called the winner.

45+ yard TD pass by a wide receiver, and a 75 yard run up the gut for a TD. Those don't get attributed to the QB stats. And that was all they needed to whoop your a**.

And what do you say about a Seahawks team that loses to a QB rating that low? The worse you say that the Steelers are, the worse you are saying that the Seahawks are. The Squawks OL blatantly held on many more plays than they got called on. A sign of poor coaching. Their receivers can't catch because they're afraid to get hit. Joey Porter scared their "soft" tight end so bad that he couldn't catch whether he's hit or not! When Polamalu blitzed they had to tackle him to keep him out.

1. Denial and Isolation.
2. Anger.
3. Bargaining.
4. Depression.
5. Acceptance

You'll get there someday.

I anxiously await your retraction.
