" To heck with the refs and the 'controversy' over calls and such."

Some of these people that are whining about the Steelers winning remind me of the liberals that call into CSPAN's Republican line and say they are switching parties because of George Bush. I don't believe them when they say: "I'm a Steelers fan but I think Seattle got robbed". That being said, I was raised in Ohio and have always rooted against the Steelers and the Pirates. I was rooting for the Bengals..the Steelers beat them. I was rooting for the Colts..the Steelers beat them. I was rooting for the Broncos..the Steelers beat them. Sunday was the first time in my life I ever rooted for the Steelers. Primarily because my wife is a diehard fan. And the fact that they had shown more grit than any other team in the league.

Were there bad calls? Of course there were. There are in every game I have ever seen. I'd say the bad calls were maybe 60-40 in favor of the Steelers. Not, IMHO, enough to change the outcome by the amount of points for the Seahawks to win. And, I haven't heard anybody mention the obvious Seattle fumble that was called an incomplete pass. The whiners need to congratulate the Steelers and get on with their lives.

Too bad you weren't watching the same game as everyone else. More like 90-10 against the Seahawks!
