We are through the looking glass here, people!
These things are easy if we think like the men
who walk the corridors of power in this nation...
LBJ? Bell Helicopter? The Mafia? They're ALL in on it!
Is this the same bunch of poeple who are runnign the petition to ask Bush to vacate the WH because of the STOLEN ELECTION??
This is not an election for Mayor guys! Stuff it.
Oh, please. The officials suck due to the availability of Instant Replay, but the games aren't fixed. How can it be, if the refs are screwing the Steelers one game, and screwing their opposition the next?
I guess that implies that it ain't broken.
They're just now figuring this out? All pro sports are "fixed". Until recently, I could've cared less. Nowadays, my tax dollars are involved.
pix pls
What was fixed was that Rolling Fossils show at half time. Terrible production, vocals mashed over with loud bang-bang. Like there are no domestic, patriotic zzzzingerss???
Bad calls always have happened and always will happen. Bad calls do not equal intentional fixing.
Tin foil hats on please.
The Algore Syndrome
Its a game. As long as there are human refs, there will be questionable calls. Were there any horrible calls? No. Just several questionable ones that went Pittsburgh's way. It's over, Pittsburgh won, or more accurately, Seattle lost it.
the steelers needed some help to win the game and they got it from the refs. after all, you can't have ALL that hype going into the game and then turn around and lose to little old seattle. that just wouldn't be right.
It's time to have published ratings for the officials. Each crew should be rated by the league coaches and any that don't maintain a minimum satisfaction rating should be canned. Any refs that are deemed to have decided games improperly should get ONE warning and one second chance, for a disciplinary period of three years. If in doubt, don't throw the stinking flag.
The league should cut to four officials per game. Too many refs equals too many flags. A head ref, a lineman, and back judges each side of the line.
And league officials should take over replay, one in the booth and one at league headquarters. No more on field refs botching replays to cover for their crews.
I can give an easy 6 to 12 games I watched that were decided by poor refs. Atl/NO, NO/StL, Sea/NYG, GB/Cle, GB/TB, second GB/Det, Det/TB, (PLAYOFFS) Den/NE, the Super Bowl, and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Pittsburgh while at Indy. Now those are just the games I watched that had bad refs. I'll bet there were scads more.
We all saw baseball cheat last year. Now it's the NFL.
There are serious questions regarding its legitimacy.
And that is a death knell for competitive sport.
It's a game folks. Lighten up. Steelers won. Seattle lost. Over and done.
Dude. Time to move on.
