Take Away and Give Aways

After two days, I finally want to give my opinion on the Super Bowl. The reason for the two days, is to finally get it passed my mind that this game was the worse officiated game..worse officiated Super Bowl in my football watching and playing experience. Let me get this out the way, congratulation to the Steelers. They played the best football in seven games, I have ever seen. They went through three top ranked teams and beat the mess out of teams they were supposed to beat like the Germans going through France. Like the United States going through Saddam's republican guards. In short, they played great football for their fans and for those of us who enjoy watching a team, if not their own, play to win the the damn games. Also, I want to give props to the Seattle Seahawks. They played valiently and the effort was there for their fans and NFL fans to appreciate. So there you have it. Two teams that deserved their spotlight in the Super Bowl getting just that. Two teams that reached the highest pinnacle like teams before them. One, there for the first time. The other, there to join two storied teams in obtaining five rings. Two great coaches. One, there to prove he can win without a legend quarterback and the other, there to prove he can win the big one.

Did you notice anything about the guys in the striped uniforms? Guys and gals who wear striped uniforms with whistles should not be known. They can be heard, but only if they are enforcing a rule or penalty. Guys and gals who wear striped uniforms with said whistles are there to maintain order. Guys and gals who wear striped uniforms should not, in anyway, be a possible reason why one team may have lost. Especially in the freakin' Super Bowl. Game 7's of Major League Baseball and the NFL and most importantly the BCS Championship game. This game was mired in bad calls. You know I've seen pass interference calls on both sides of the ball. Hell, the league changed the rules because of Michael Irvin. Side note, this is a reason why Irvin's back side should be in the Hall of Fame. The league implemented rules because of Irvin. and he can't get in the Hall of Fame, but Aikman, who benefitted off of Irvins, ahem! technique did!. But as I digress, that was'nt offensive pass interference and neither was that offensive holding in the fourth quarter, nor did Hassleback illegal cut block a player. Those were three obvious calls the refs blew in the game. Now the big one, Rothlisberger did not score..THE BALL DID NOT CROSS THE GOAL LINE. Steeler fans obvious would take it, but they know he did not score.

You see folks, games are supposed to be remembered for the play of it athletes. Memories of those games, especially in the Super Bowl are supposed to be legendary.

Not repulsive.


Sideline Note: If you were one of the millions of people who participated in your office/work Super Bowl pool. And you picked 7-0, Seahawks in the first quarter. All I can say is dayum!!!! But you can't call the police to report a robbery.
