To suggest that the game was "fixed" is ludicrous.

Normally I'd agree.

But that Polamalu call in Indy - when the NFL honchos were pimping Manning like a $1000 whore - set the stage.

I figure they reverted to the next cash cows - Bettis and Ben.

There are usually questionable calls in every game. By sheer odds, chances are sometimes the calls will favor one team more than other. That's the law of averages. Calls don't "even out" in every game. There WERE calls that went Seattle's way, but those don't get remembered by the losing team. This is so similar to the Florida election fiasco in 2000, it's like arguing with democrats on who "really" won the election. Democrats love to point out everything that supposedly kept them from winning Florida, and thus losing the election. I'm sure we've heard the looney stories. Of course, they ignore all the GOP voters who didn't get to vote, like in the Panhandle. Now, Seahawk fans are engaged in the same selective memory. Seattle had a great year and a lot to be proud of in making the SB for the first time. Now, they're flushing it down the toilet. It's sad.
