Well said.

[PureSolace]

Ruht-Roh... I smell a fight.

[TheBigB]

WOW, THEY WON'T EVEN LET THE IDIOT THROW...UNREAL. SEAHAWKS WILL FINALLY PULL AWAY.

ALL SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pittsburgh SUCKS

ALL SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 100% on the Seattle bandwagon! WE WILL KICK THE steelers A#SES.

SEAHWAKS 38 steelers 10 Save it.

I can't wait to see their faces when they lose.

So half will be at least 14-7. Not counting on anymore Pitts. points.

however, only down by 2 td's. They (colts) will win, I'm sure of it.

If you spot the Steelers w/14 against Indy in Indy....YOU TAKE INDY.

Steelers have ZERO chance tomorrow.

Indy goes to the AFC championship game..EASY.

Be real, Pitts. has no chance indoors against Indy. NONE.

Pitts. will NEVER go to the SuperBowl w/b.r. Never.

[Spok]

I'm going back to watching figure skating.

[JABBERBONK]

The Seahawks were clearly out coached, and the Steelers wanted it more. Get over it.

[texianyankee]

Bayless can kiss my arse....and on top of that, yesterday's superbowl was one of the worst games played...

[VadeRetro]

Sounds like the game I watched. Most of the reports today have it already under the rug.

[dfwgator]

I'm so glad Bayless no longer resides here in Dallas.

[maineman]

Wow, a stalker.

[Old Sarge]

So, if the game was stolen, then the win is illegitimate and Pittsburgh has no mandate, will there be a recount of the points?

::ducking and covering::

[lonster]

what a crock. the refs stank it up for sure, but the steelers had the moxy to pull it off.

[TheBigB]

When you put idiocy out there for all to see on a consistent basis, it ain't hard to find it. One need not be a stalker.

[KC_Conspirator]

The first-quarter offensive pass interference called on Darrell Jackson that turned a touchdown into a field goal was robbery enough. But the fourth-quarter holding call on Sean Locklear made you wonder whether the refs had even less of Aretha's r-e-s-p-E-c-t for your Seahawks than I do.

I actually think that those calls were the most clear cut ones. I just think that some people have seen players get away with worse offenses, but rules are rules.

[Onelifetogive]

Your team held Roethlisberger to a 9-for-21 night for only 123 yards, with two interceptions … and your team lost.

Your Shaun Alexander surprised me by running for almost 100 yards (95 on 25 carries) … and your team lost.

Its been a while since I took grade school math, but this guy is trying to make 95 sound like a bigger number than 123...

Seattle’s Next First Round Draft Pick:

[oneofmany]

"These days, you have to tackle to hold,..."

This idiotic statement invalidates all his boo-hooing.

[Horatio Gates]

Time to look ahead.

So. How about those Mariners?

[Ciexyz]

Have a Bud, it's a good beer to cry in.

The NFL is going to make idiots like Bayless and others look even more stupid when they come out in support of the officials. Not only were the calls he complains about correct, the call or two I saw missed hurt the Steelers.
