This is NOT gloating at all.
By the way, the reason I posted this attempt at a little humor today in the first place was because I do NOT take kindly to anyone, especially a well-respected coach of a professional team who descends to denigrate the officials (INCORRECTLY) to cover for his own team's poor performance and his own lame inabilities in an important game. And I do not take kindly to that same coach who serves to minimalize the hard work and accomplishment of this Pittsburgh team and its coaches with his whining, childish remarks.
So you, sinkspur, can just keep your miserable assertions and out-of-balance comments to yourself. It is plain that you know about as much about football and sportsmanship as Hillary Clinton knows about (take your pick).

p.s. Sorry to ping most of you folks, but there is something very serious about what Holmgren did the other day with his public comments.
Remember Gore and his thugs who stole the joy of George Bush and "our" victory the morning after the 2000 election. There were Seven Weeks of Hell after that election night, and all of a sweet and joyous spontaneous victory was not to be, because of the sick machinations of the Democrat machine. To, admittedly a much lesser degree, the same thing has been done by Holmgren and the rest of the opportunists in the media. They have served to diminish the well-deserved joy of a city and a team by blaming the outcome of the game on the officiating......... and to me THAT SUCKS.
Sorry, but it's true.
Are you in PGH? I'm out by Harrisburg and in today's Patriot News there was an editorial by a writer in the Miami Herald who spoke negatively of Holmgren's comment. will try to find it for you. It was at the back of the sports section.
Will you get over it already. You've been pulling me into your arguments on another thread since Sunday. This obsession you have isn't normal. It's a football game. The game has been over for four days. And the STEELERS won! Your team WON! What do you expect folks to do? KYA! Move along, little doggy, move along.
I know plenty about football. I live in the state that is home to the team that got to five Super Bowl victories an entire decade before the Stealers. It is also home to the National Champions of College football, something Penn State can only dream about.
Next time (if there ever is a next time) you get to the Super Bowl, act like you've been there before.
(you've got two more days to cease and desist!) ;^)
But it has no affect whatsoever on my admiration for Dan Rooney, Bill Cowher, or the Pittsburgh Steelers.
This disappointment on the part of Seahawks fans and football "purists" will pass, at least in the minds of the reasonable.
