If that video wasn't crystal clear to you regarding both feet in, then there's nothing more to say. He was in. Clearly and without a doubt.

Reading is fundamental. I already stated that I did watch the videos. I also said that it doesn't change anything. The Steelers are the champs. What I don't understand is why people like you get so defensive over this. I have my opinion you have yours.Bleu Star;2628556 said:
Denial is really a river...
Watch one of the many close up videos they played back over and over again. There was no doubt in my mind after watching the extremely slow video frame by frame.

You are. Stating that I am in denial. Of what? Giving an opinion that many others have. You're clueless.Bleu Star;2628566 said:Yours just happens to be blind.
Defensive?I would much rather it have been one of our WRs making that catch at that very moment in time but I can give credit where credit is due. Great catch.

My biggest problem was not the call on either of the half-ending tds, it's the dirtiness of which the Steelers played the game--and didn't get called on it.
For instance, that vagrant beating down (punching) Harrison did on that one Cards player. That doesn't get a call, how? What kind of example does play such as that portray onto young kids seeing it and looking up to this guy? I would have been furious had he won the MVP after that. It's bad enough that such a lack of character type of player could win NFL Defensive MVP of the Year, and especially when a model citizen like Ware, who also had more sacks, loses to an obvious "villain" like Harrison. It's just IMO not an image the NFL should be portraying, and even at the cost of a player winning an award they may be eligible for. Personal "attitude" and league-wide "image" should be highly considered when such an award is up for grabs. That my friends is one of the greatest concerns facing this league these days if you ask me. And why it has gone so far down the gutter in recent season past. There are literally very few standards in which these players are being held to.
I'm sorry if others do not agree, but players like these are not the type of role models I want my kids, or nephews and nieces, looking up to.
Now I get all the off-the field issues concerning players and the limited ability to stop most of that, but there are just no excuses in my opinion concerning dictated level of professionalism a player must obtain on the gridiron. For instance, Pac-Man. All the issues in the world, off the field, but at least once on the field, he played like a professional and not like some little punk. A guy like Harrison though, punk through and through, as it highly shows in play on the field. And don't know what he's like off the field, but as far as I'm concerned I don't really care after already seeing some of the things on the field that I've seen from him.
*Rant Over*

In pic #1 of 2. The tip of his foot(his toes) is not visible. He dotted the "i" that is why.

I thought it was a catch and it was a great play by Pitt.
The Cards defense blew it IMHO but....what pissed me off more was...
No call on the celebration after the TD.....thats 15 yrds the cards could of used.
and to top it off.....I have no idea why the supposed Warner fumble wasnt reviewed.....its seem to me that his arm was in the forward motion.
Given those two calls right there....the Cards with Flitz...still had a chance.......a small chance but we will never know because the refs screwed up at the end of the game.

As bad as I hate to say it. The Stealers won this...THIS...Superbowl on their own. For once the refs did not give them the game like they have on at least three other occasions. The INT runback at the end of the first half was too close to overturn. As much as I would have liked to see it I cannot in all honesty say that it should have been overturned because there was not "indisputable" visual evidence. It was just too damn close.
There was only one call against the Cards that I thought was cheesy and that was a late hit on Rottenburger. The guy couldn't have stopped at that point no matter what he did...it was just a nit-picky call. The rest of the calls against them were for actual fouls. It was a good close game and nobody wanted the Cards to win more than I did. But the fact remains that the Stealers won the game and are the Superbowl Champs.

We lost the game because we couldn't get off the field when it matters. That's my assessment and I'm sticking to it. Yes, I'm livid with the refereeing, but damnit we had a chance to win it by shutting them down. At the very least holding them to a field goal. This is why we are where we are. Super Bowl runner ups.
