Agreed. We can always look at this as a Swann matter. That works for me.
Politics made it impossible for me to pull for a Seattle team - but for the ridiculous calls. Oh well, alls well that ends well.
"You don't have any marquee players," he said. "Nobody really knows Seattle. The Steelers have some history, but the `Bus' (Bettis) is no `Fridge' (William Perry) when it comes to popularity."
Eisner's Blum predicts this matchup could be the exception. It needs a Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Jerry Rice to bring in viewers, Blum said.
****CHICAGO TRIBUNE
LOWEST RATINGS EVER FOR A SUBERBOWL. OTHER THAN SEATTLE AND pittsburgh, NO ONE GAVE A SH*T. NO SUPERSTARS ONLY THUGS AND A 3RD RATE NFC TEAM.
Wow, I've seen some pretty sore losers before, but I can't say I've ever seen such sore winners as I'm seeing on here tonight from some of the Pittsburgh fans. That's too bad. Seems like you'd find a better way to celebrate your big win.
Whatever you say, O Magnificent One. Nobody else knows a thing about the game except for you.
I thought code black in medicine had to do with excess iron in stools or something.
Awe isn't that cute how you have to join into the conversation and have nothing to contribute but an insult. Run along now the adults are talking.
Animal Planet has the Puppy Bowl 2 on right now and my little 4 pound dog is loving it and barking up a storm at the screen.
Only two other times has he barked this hard.
#1 Star Jones on TV.
#2 Jennifer Lopez performing in some HBO special. He got exited watching her sweat.
Pro Wrestling is actually more real than what you saw tonight.
I was waiting for one of the Pittsburgh coaches run out and hit Hasselbeck with a steel chair while the Refs aren't looking.
The flag that was thrown on that bogus Offense Pass Interference call in the first half just sold on Ebay for $15,000..
Steelers just been handed a stolen ticket to Disneyworld!!
QB be called for chop blocking on a guy WITH THE BALL! What was that about?
Game ball was presented to the refs after the game. This is on par with the 1919 Black Sox scandal.
I personally know where they hide the slush fund to pay off the refs. I'm donning my tinfoil hat now and going to talk to myself how Gore got robbed!!
And they probably should be, the Bengals performed very well this year and most of their key players are pretty young. The AFC is just getting harder.
KPRC-TV (Ch. 2 vhf) has a "Luv Ya Blue" reunion at The Woodlands coming up on their sports show right now -- Bum, Pastorini, dunno who else.
Oh yeah, what do ya call this? ; )
When you start behaving like one, I'll be happy to contribute.
Naw... that's Code Icky Black Seepage...
It depends on the health of Carson Palmer.
I have to agree, the game was handed to the Steelers. I think that the proof that the winner was predetermined was is in the profiles of the Steeler team members that they kept showing all during the game. What was that all about? No one has had an answer to that, yet.
Their defense still needs a lot of work before they'll be ready to make a run at the Lombardi trophy. Indy's time has come and gone. It'll be between the Pats and Steelers again next year.
It was Holmgren, a great coach, that cost them a game they dominated.
His strategy was abysmal...he was outcoached by Cowher, who wasn't even trying to outcoach him!
His reliance on Stevens on over-the-middle routes, instead of using Jurevicius was one obvious problem...but there were many other strategic errors that he made in preparing his team for this type of game. Holmgren is a great, great coach. But he was terrible, strategically, today. And it cost his team.
