I watched the Superbowl on Sunday. I was not passionate about either team, but I did feel bad for Seattle. All the media is making a big deal about the Steelers "getting one for the thumb". This is understandable, but nobody is talking about the lousy reffing that took place. Consider two bad calls, that even Madden et al. admitted were bad calls.
1) The touchdown that was disallowed because of offensive interference. This was an call that was just dumb. Watch the replay and you see that the "push" wasn't even close to impeding the defense.
2) The holding penalty that called back a ball that was on the one yard line. The bottom line, no one could find the "holding" penalty.
If the Seahawks had of scored on the one yard line that would have been 14 points more for Seattle, however the trusty refs made sure they did their part. Seattle made some mistakes too, but the potential 14 points that the refs "determined" would have made the difference in who won this game. That sucks. I think it sucks even more that nobody is talking about the reffing blunders. The commentators made note of them during the game, but that is the last we heard of them.
It almost sounds like the church organized the Superbowl....... shhh let's not talk about our mistakes,... people won't notice...... or maybe the refs are figure skating judges in the off season.
Peace,
