Regarding the Super Bowl...
1) If you're a Seahawks fan (or their head coach) and you're bitching about the referees from Sunday's game... SHUT THE HELL UP. For your benefit I've included a list of things you are well within your rights to complain about:
Outside of these things, I don't want to hear it. The only call that was actually bad was the holding call on the Stevens reception, and I blame that on everyone being so surprised he held onto it that they didn't know what to do.
2) The better team won. That's right: better coach, better gameplan, better defense, better receivers. Call the QBs a draw and the RBs an obvious advantage to Seattle, but there's no question in my mind that Pitt deserved the win in every way.
3) If you think this was a crappy Super Bowl, perhaps you'd be interested in Arena League football, where the scores are always in the thirties and forties and above, and the referee's don't have to make as many tough calls.
4) Antawn Randle-El is going to make a great Chicago Bear.
5) Great Seas makes arguably the best wings in the Chicagoland area.
That's all I've got.
- Jerramy Stevens' repeated dropped passes after pre-game shit talking
- Mike Holmgren's blatant mismanagement of the clock at the end of both halves
- Grant Wistrom's sellout dive on the Roethlisberger scramble/pass, because had he stayed on his feet he would have either forced Big Ben to run or absolutely creamed him.
- Matt Hasselbeck's terrible interception
- Holmgren's refusal to commit to Shaun Alexander
- Whatever happened to allow Deshea Townsend to come unblocked and hammer Hasselbeck on a 3rd and 8 in the fourth quarter
Outside of these things, I don't want to hear it. The only call that was actually bad was the holding call on the Stevens reception, and I blame that on everyone being so surprised he held onto it that they didn't know what to do.

I pretty much agree. I think that more than a few calls went Pittsburgh's way, but they also played a lot better and made big plays when they needed them.
And after watching yet another Holmgren meltdown, I can't believe he managed to win one in Green Bay.
The better didn't win which is the problem. Aside from three plays worth of offense, the Steelers didn't do one good thing.
Furthermore, saying that the QB's are equal is such a gross oversight it makes me ill. "Little" Ben was 9/21 with 0 touchdowns and 1 interception for 123 yards. Hasselbeck, however, was 26/49 for 273 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. If you take away the 6 dropped balls, and the phantom penalties, those numbers are probably closer to 32/49 350 2/0. Hasslebecks team let him down.
But I forgive you for not knowing what makes a good quarterback. You are a Bears fan after all...
