Poor losers seem to abound tonight. There were a few iffy calls, but the Steelers won. It wasn't a pretty game, but the Steelers won.
The Steelers won. The Seahawks couldn't get it together and the Iron Curtain was intact. Even though there were a few bad calls, the Steelers WON the Superbowl!
My take? Glad you asked... ;-)
Worst SB I've seen in a long time. Good commercials though.
Bad calls all around....
TE Stevens catch and fumble early on, Al Michaels and John Madden asleep at the wheel
Randel-El writhing in pain after a devastating hit and we are treated to one obscure replay and no mention of Randel-El until he shows up in the game an hour later
Michaels and Madden asleep at the wheel
Jackson pushing off in the end-zone? Yeah, but not atypical of all receiver/DB contact all year long
Big Ben was stopped on review of the tape and the line judge didn't signal until Big Ben pulled the ball out from underneath himself and placed it over the line after he had been knocked down
Michaels and Madden? Snore...
All week we here Porter talking trash and he didn't even bother to show up for the game. Steel curtain was not intact at all. They were fortunate that Jeremy Stevens had steel fingers and the Seahawks had some unfortunate, some questionable - some not-so-questionable calls at the most inopportune moments.
I got a sneaking suspicion that both teams burned themselves out just getting to the Super Bowl but they did get there and the Steelers won. Congratulations to Cowher and Ward Hines. Both good guys
...and Hines had an adorable little guy with him up on the podium after the game
