Looked like the WWF out there tonight!!! I don't care for either team... and if a Steeler win will help Swann in Nov. then I'm all for it but damn if the fix wasn't in!
You stink of your own hate.
Almost no info has been released on the event that I've seen. My impression was that he mouthed off to some guy, who had friends. I suspect he pushed the one guy and someone smacked him over the head with a metal pole that was part of a sign. There was security camera footage, but what was played on TV didn't really give the story very well...at least from what I saw. He had a clot on his brain I believe, so that's the reason he was put on injured reserve for the year. It's not certain that he'll ever play again, although he appears pretty good now.
Why won't you answer the question? You are the self proclaimed expert. Spurt!
Fast Willie had a nice game...............
Thank you for your kindness, wisdom, and interest in football. You are one of the BEST!!!!
Please keep Tom Brady out of the Stillers' face.
kindness............from me, Thom
I don't think anyone in their right mind would say the Steelers dominated the game. But even if Seattle got the calls, there was still no guarantee they would have won. But that having been said, the NFL must address the officiating.
What do you mean by "we?" You have a gerbil in your pocket?
Agree on all counts. :)
The Colts didn't play anybody either. I was calling back in week 5 that most of the Colts defensive "improvements" was because they were playing teams with crappy offenses (except the Rams and the Bengals, neither of whom they'd played yet). They played the Colts AFTER Dungy's son died and the streak ended, completely meaningless game for both teams, and by the time they got to the Panthers the name of their entire offense was Smith (Goings was their 3rd string RB, the real 4th stringer got hurt earlier in the season, so when Goings went down the Panthers were on their FIFTH string RB... wonder who the ball is going to).
Right, that's why I consider 10 minutes to be the line, if you hold the ball for 1/6 of the game more than the other team that's a real and serious advantage. 33 minutes to 27 just ain't that big a deal, you expect a team to get 30ish minutes of possession, 33 minute ain't that big a deal, call me when it's 35.
Nobody I saw underrated Hassleback, the mantra I saw was the chance Seattle had to win was because of him.
It's not a question of a "fix," but of refs predisposed to a certain outcome looking more closely at one team than the other, and calling ticky-tack fouls that change the outcome of the game. The Hawks are the new kids on the block as far as post-season play is concerned, so the refs are more likely to think they don't belong, and more likely to throw flags against them.
I love you.
Saw some bad ones against the Stillers too. Think they evened out pretty much.
They usually do, and in this game they did. Now go cry somewhere else please.
I didn't see it. Can only comment on what I see, I saw possibly questionable calls go both way and all the calls the Seattle fans are spending the most energy complaining about were right. The interference and the hold were both flagrant, both altered the play and both HAD to be called by ANY remotely useful ref in the world.
They deserved it. I'll take an ugly win over and pretty loss in the Super Bowl any day.
Gad! #2, you take this one
The writers of this episode don't know diddlysquat about explosives. Even a non home-made WW2 bazooka round would not explode enough to take out several rooms.
Yep, the anti-bazooka crowd strikes again!
Phoenix is the future. People move here from dreary dismal towns back east because the weather is great and there are jobs and industries that don't revolve around unionized manual labor.
The desert rules, but, by all means, stay in the cold, snowy hell you are in now.
It's the Panthers year in 2006-7.
We'll the Pats and Steelers are going to lock horns again next year in the regular season at Heinz Field. I'm guessing that'll be on a Sunday night.
