lol Stealers
lol two tainted superbowls

[jimo2305]

yep.. redemption..

to me.. the seahawks clearly won that game.. i was disgusted at it and how lots of people seemed to turn a blind eye to it.. i'll always put an asterisk by that bowl game and refuse to concede that the steelers won it

[Warlord23]

Stop the presses! A referee blew a call in an NFL game. Surely this is the very first instance of a bad call ever happening in professional sports. Wow, this will undo the spotless legacy of the likes of Ed Hochuli, Joey Crawford, Dick Bavetta and the superb soccer World Cup referees. A generation of legendary officiating is now tarnished :rolleyes

More like butthurt Cardinals/Patriots/Seahawks fan is still butthurt.

lol Stealers fan getting defensive and pissed
lol pissed about how obvious the rigging was in 2006

[jimo2305]

oh trust me.. im not a fan of any nfl team.. and refs blow calls every week yes.. but this was the superbowl.. it was blatantly obvious enough for me to notice.. hmm yet the refs couldnt' notice..

i have no ties to either team and could care less .. but i hate cheating..

tbh if you fuck up reffing a championship game you should lose your job

Agreed.

[bigzak25]

any ref can call holding at any time.

any guy with big bucks can tempt a ref.

any ref with questionable integrity can therefore fix a game.

refs are human. some make natural mistakes. others sell out.

agreed though, mistakes in the Superbowl should mean you never get to ref that game again...maybe no more playoffs either.

If you could care less, then obviously you care.

The calls were terrible and easily missed. Having said that, has anyone actually been on the field with guys as big and fast as NFL players? Are you saying you'd get every call right, or would you make mistakes too.

The guy should be off the Super Bowl for a long time, but it's been 4 years now. Really, it's over, done and dead.

Next thing you're going to tell me was that boxing had rigged bouts and NBA is legit.

[tlongII]

Horrible officiating that game. I'll never forget it since I'm a Seahawks fan. I'm just glad I wasn't at the game.

You're posts are as worthless as it gets, no one gives a fuck about your bible thumping philosophical "everyone is human, forgive" bullshit.

lol this is funny.. all im saying is those blown calls were blatantly obvious..

for my ass to notice it and not the refs standing right beside the players ought to count for something..

The Lakers and Steelers comparisons continue..

:lmao Not drafting the clear best WR when he's still on the board(lol Raiders)

[HarlemHeat37]

I still can't believe Plummer choked like that..it would have been an easy SB..that Patriots game was amazing, the hype after that was something Broncos fans will probably not see again for a long time..

:lol Fear of Tebow in the AFC West for 10+ years..

I knew it, I had money on that game....so I was paying attention.

it was the only superbowl where the winner was outgained and lost the turnover battle.

it was obvious.....it was the first time I had seen the NFL go NBA on the fans.
