Game well played... but not with a trace of humility.

Debate: You're doing it wrong.

That still leaves over 50 yards in penalties that you can blame on "close calls that the Cardinals got screwed on", "letting the Steelers win". He was arguing that the Steelers won because "all the close calls went their way", I was merely pointing out that the Cardinals lost because "they had over 100 yards of penalty yards assessed against them" which in my opinion is unacceptable if you want to win the SuperBowl.
You can try to say that this doesn't apply to the argument that "the refs sucked and only called fouls on the Cardinals", but my OPINION is that sure you could blame half of their lost yards on "bad calls (which weren't THAT bad)" but what about the other 50 yards or so from flagrant fouls? I suppose those don't count since they support my side and go against what you said.

Then again, I'm a Lions fan, so who knows.

Gah, I liked that one for the first 10 seconds. After that, it made me want to stab my ears with an ice pick.

Though the highlight for me was the woman riding the seal. I've had days at work where I've felt like that.

Needless to say, I am never going to set foot in State College, PA ever again.

By that point, Green Bay wasn't in the playoff race...and their hatred of the Vikings was so strong they'd rather see their team LOSE than see the Vikes make the playoffs.
That is the nature of a rivalry.

Agreed. And if I hadn't already stopped watching Heroes, I would after that stupid singing commercial. Chuck...you're on the bubble. Consider this a warning.

Cause crotch pain is still funny? I thought that crotch shots being the sole basis of your humour died back in, like, 1998? What is this, 5th grade? (Even still, the first half of the commerical was only mildly funny.)
And the e-Trade baby was funny the first time, chuckle-worthy the second time... but lame as hell last night. Sheesh.
Worst set of SB ads in a while.

The Conan O'Brien one was pretty good, but the best was that Heroes vs Legends one.
Because my basement is filled with statues, cardboard cut-outs, and autographs of John Elway, and when he swooped in out of the sky, I nearly creamed.

When this commercial came on during the superbowl I first thought "oh wow, Cash 4 Gold paid to put their ad in the superbowl?" but then when I realized I was looking at Ed McMahon and then MC Hammer started talking about "sending in his gold pants" I fell out of my chair.
I actually thought that the superbowl ads this year were really good, better than the last few years imo.

Fuck the Steelers - a bunch of unsportmanlike douchebags who need their rings revoked, and then punched in the face with said rings.
In other news, I can't wait to play the new Fallout 3 expansion, The Pitt!

Full disclosure: I live in Indy and am a Colts season ticket holder. I had no dog in the fight.

Sure, my team sucks more ass than well, anyone, but it gives me ample reason to hate on a team other than them. At least the Browns don't beat the shit out of other players while claiming a win (if they win). They just usually forget that they need to catch the ball to win.

That said... I'm still pissed off about that. Seriously? You let a linebacker break off the longest run in SB history??? All the racehorses on offense couldn't catch this guy and push him over four inches? Seconds befoer the half? Really?
Forget everything else. If you scrubs can't make that play, you don't deserve to win the SB.

It also didn't any of the missed holding and blocking in the back penalties the refs overlooked on that lumbering interception return.
I'm not a fan of either team. I just wanted to see a good clean game. I didn't. The NFL officiating all year has been shoddy.
I remember a time when punching a guy in the neck and throwing him repeatedly to the ground got you ejected, suspended, and fined.

His teammates saw the interception, and got into position. They formed the most amazing wall of blockers that you'll be lucky to ever see again. When one fell, blocking one of those 'racehorses', someone stepped in and took his place. That was a superbowl run.
02/02/09
But to look at it from the Steelers' perspective.... Dude! Are you INSANE? Check your emotions, dumbass! This is THE EFFING SUPER BOWL!!
Do you really want to pull a Zidane??????
02/02/09
I'll admit there was good blocking, I can't take it ALL away from Pitt... but the Cardslooking like the effing Rams, on that play....

Seriously, this has been a terrible year for officiating. Football is a subjective sport as it is, but when referees start missing the obvious, easy calls such as the unflagged excessive celebration or a player outright assaulting another with punches on the field, I think it's time to call it a day.
Of course, who am I kidding? I'll be back next season with the rest of the suckers. :(
