Do I detect a note of cynicism there, naaaawwwwww..... (%

Cynicism from Hos...you have to be kidding....

Definitely had to be the worst officiated superbowl in history. It seemed eveyrtime Seattle put themselves in position to take the lead the refs were right there to take that momentum away from them. The amount of phantom holding calls was ridiculous and the offensive pass interference was horrible.

Also on the Rothlisberger TD run the ref was moving in to spot the ball short and then decided it was a TD instead.

Yeah, what's up with that?

If the Hasselbeck fumble hadn't been so obviously wrong you can bet they'd have given Pitt the ball.

I would simply say " some of the calls were just a bit suspect" tooooooo say the least.

My wife said they would have technical problems with the replay machine during that timeout. Lol. I was shocked they didn't.

Does anyone know where I can find the replay of the Rothlisberger "TD"?

It wasn't even close but did you see how long the review took? He was searching every possible angle for a way.

You mean his almost TD. No way that ball crossed the goal line.

When the ref took almost the full time to review that play I thought for sure he was going to allow the play to stand.
