“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

“I've been eagerly awaiting Jay Novacek's prediction for the Super Bowl because he was the only one I saw who accurately predicted that the Seahawks and Steelers would win their respective conferences.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3690072/?pg=5#anc_spt_novacek05

There it is...

SEAHAWKS!!! Right on!!”

“thats enough from the johnny-come-lately section

usa, will you still be cheering when they slip back into mediocrity, as all superbowl teams eventually do?”

“Of course. As long as another California developer like Ken Behring doesn't buy them and try to move them to California again. That was a forgetable day in Seahawks history. I would never cheer for the Los Angeles Seahawks.”

“I think Ken was going to call them the Los Angeles Blackhawks. Truly a bad time in Seahawk history.”

“My WORST NIGHTMARE!!!

-- Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu said he "tweaked" an ankle during practice Thursday and was added to the team's Super Bowl injury report as probable.

The cause of the injury wasn't immediately known. Only a pool reporter selected by the NFL is permitted to watch pre-Super Bowl practices, and Polamalu mentioned the injury to that reporter.”

“Twas a dark day indeed.

Now I heard on the news the other night that Howard Schultz the local Starbucks founder and also owner of the Seattle Sonics is threatening to move the Sonics (where I don't know) if he doesn't get the Key Arena refurbished again at a cost of $200 million, or build a new arena. They just gutted and refurbished Key Arena less than 10 years ago didn't they?

Schultz said... "The KeyArena's day has come and gone."

“USA Yeah, wth!!??”

“Better get used to seeing injuries in the game. I have a feeling this Super Bowl is going to be a bloodbath similar to the Redskins-Seahawks playoff game when Seahawks were getting injured seemingly on just about every play.”

“MRI is negative! Whew!”

“Here is a forum where hundreds of NFL fans who are not Seahawk fans show their disgust with the NFL and how Seattle got jobbed:

“The Seahawks could have won it with better play. They didn't.

The Patriots outplayed Denver in the Playoffs and were losing. The fans and the refs were both against them. Championship teams rise above that and take control. The Pats didn't they got rattled, panicky and tried to force plays at the wrong times. They could have risen to the challenge and taken control. I They didn't. I was po'd at the play calling, but Pats simply didn't win it and ultimately its on them.

The same thing in the Super Bowl. The Seahawks could have risen to the challenge, whether they failed to take control or Pittsburgh was too good to let them the fact is they didn't win the game and that's on them and on Pittsburgh. Seattle put together a terrific season and a solid playoff performance, but they didn't have it over the Steelers.

Congrats to the Steelers and their fans!”

“Sure, it was fixed. The first person they should question is Stevens who must have been paid to drop 4 passes and kill Seahawks momentum. The fix was in...”

“"I played this game to win the championship," he said, breaking into the trademark Bettis grin. "I'm a champion and I think The Bus' last stop is here in Detroit."
"It's been an incredible ride," Bettis said. "I decided to come back to win a championship and mission accomplished. So with that I have to bid farewell."

A fond farewell to a great man, not just a great football player.”

“I don't think the game was fixed for Pittsburg to win but needless to say there was some really bad calls. Esp the touchdown by the Pitt QB.

On the local sports talk show this morning they listed about 10 calls that were wrong or not called.”

“I thought that the game could go into overtime, but after seeing how the referees controlled the first half, it was certain that the Steelers would prevail. I truly feel as though the ref's calls kept the game within the Steelers reach in the first half. I am happy for Ben (I like his play for a new up-and-comer). But the consistent calls that went against the Seahawks made me uncomfortable in watching the game. If this is the best the NFL has for referees (and the same goes for college football), we need more competent instant replay officials.
--Tony Strauss, Fresno, Calif.

It is tough to win when you are up against the 12th man. I don't know how Levy, with five years experience, got to ref the biggest game of the year - but he either made a lot of money from Las Vegas or needs new glasses. He helped the Steelers get ahead and allowed them to stay ahead.
--Steve Santos, Castro Valley, Calif.

Outright horrible officiating impacted the game and it ruined the Super Bowl for me. It's unbelievable how bad they were and how one-sided the calls seemed to be.
--Lazlo Toth, Boston

I wanted the Steelers to win, but I didn't want it handed to them by the officials. This is not a win they can be proud of.
--Gene Richards, Modesto, Calif.

What a great game! Too bad the team that had the biggest impact were the ones wearing the stripes. Although I admire the Steelers and their incredible playoff run, they were outplayed in this game. Fortunately for them, they were assisted by another team. I can only wonder which Pop Warner league did the NFL pick this crew from?
--Ben, Buena Park, Calif.

If I were a Seahawks fan, I would feel cheated. They got the "short end of the stick", so to speak, on several crucial calls that effected the outcome of the game. It is a shame that the premier league in professional sports can allow such putrid officiating to occur without comment.
--Steven Shearon, Wilmington, Del.

I want to hear Joey Porter's thoughts on the officiating now. Clear and simple, Pittsburgh does not win this game without the help of incompetent, one-sided officiating. Terrible!!!
--Kevin, Columbus, Ohio

The MVP should have been Bill Peavy and his officating crew. One questionable call after another gave the Seahawks no chance. When they penalized Matt Hasselback for making a tackle after he threw an interception it became evident that the officials were trying to influence the game. A terrible job by the refs.
--Mike Beglin, Avon, Ind.

Don’t come in here and cry about how you were jammed up and the refs ripped this one from you. They didn’t. Granted, Ben Roethlisberger probably didn’t get in on that TD run late in the first half. And that PI call on Darrell Jackson in the second quarter was brutal, but the refs weren’t the ones who gave up that long TD run to Willie Parker; your defense did.

The refs weren’t the ones that bit so hard on a trick play that all of America knew was coming, your defense did. Bottom line, Seattle just couldn’t make a play when they had to. They couldn’t convert offensively when it mattered, couldn’t get a stop when they had to have it and couldn’t prevent the big play. They out gained the Steelers, had more first downs and fewer turnovers and completely outplayed Pittsburgh early on.

They were moving the ball and Pittsburgh’s blitzes had no effect on the Seahawks at all. That game was right there for Seattle, but they didn’t finish anything and didn’t make enough plays. Seattle could have won that game, probably should have won that game, but don’t tell me the refs ripped it from you because they didn’t. Seattle has no choice but to blame but themselves.

-Jim Rome (The Jim Rome Show)


The pi$$ poor clock management didn't help their cause either. The refs didn't have anything to do with that.”

i think bill leavy is gonna have a new job next year, him and captain offensive pass intf. i nthe first quarter. Im a psychologist which means i study body language as well, when that ref threw that flag for that pass intf. he showed lies and guilt in his body language. im not much of a conspirator, but this is definitely a conspiracy.

I have been a seattle fan since before I can remember, my son 10 cant get enough, how do you explain to you child who is old enough to understand that the hawks were cheated here and still leave him with a love for the game and the thought that the best team deserves to win. He was so upset this evening after the game that he cried, not so much for the fact that we lost but HOW WE LOST.

Let me give your ******* cry baby fans a rerason to back and watch alot or the Seattle calls. they did not win this game, The refs did not win this game for them.

Hell I give you my name and #. This was broght up by the crppiest fans in the world. Cry me a ******* river.

I am a HUGE Seahawks fan and I have been waiting for this day all of my life, I'm 42 now. I don't agree that the best team won, I feel that the game wasn't on an even playing field. I feel betrayed, hurt and angry that the sport I have the most passion for is now tarnished by this disgraceful, obvious attempt to steer the game into some other direction than letting the game play out on the field. I would say that I have some simpathy for Buffalo fans except that they actually got beat.

The Seahawks didn't get beat by the best team they were repositioned into a more difficult situation whenever it seem likely that they would win.

They also gave the MVP award to the wrong person, it should have gone to Bill Leavy and his crew, they really worked for it.

I died a little bit tonight.

The funniest BS I saw was when Hassleback threw that INT then knifed between three defenders and risked his body to prevent a TD return, and he gets flagged for TACKLING!

WTF?!

by this point I was laughing...that was a hell of a play by a guy determined to win the thing but the game was already a joke by then.

Worst calls, in order of most questionable.

1 Hass's tackle. (block?)
2 Holding call against Locklear on Stevens catch.
3 Push off by Jackson wiping out a touchdown. (Especially in light of Hines Ward pushing off on several 2nd half plays.)
4 TD by Rothlisburger
5 "No call" on the Bryce Fisher hold by Heath Miller during Willie Parker TD run.
6 DJ's TD. (In an Atlanta game earlier this year, we learned that if the pylon was broken by a reciever in the air, the goal line extends beyond it. Vick used that rule twice in that game. Jackson should have had a (2nd) TD.)
7. No call on Rothlisberger calling for a time out 2 seconds after the play clock expired, on a 3rd and six play.
8 No call on the hold against Bryce Fisher during the Randle El touchdown throw.
9. "No call" on the horse collar tackle against Alexander
10. Etric Pruitt was called for holding on the long Warrick punt return. Replays coulnd't find the penalty.

“The refs sure as hell didn't make Jerramy drop four passes, nor did they allow fast Willie to run 75 yards for a score, nor did they make everyone magically forget about Hines ward on a broken play, nor did they tell Seattle that Randel El wasn't allowed to pass. They didn't force Hasselbeck to float a pass into the waiting arms of Ike Taylor.

What they did do was make the calls as they saw them, and if you believe the fix was in, you're a damn idiot.

Seattle lost. Get over it.

BTW, the officiating in this game was a whole lot better for the Seahags than it was for the Steelers at Indy. Who won that game?

Whining little snatch.”

Don't you see the parallels here, my friend? Stop whining & complaining about all your "life isn't fair" crap and come to grips with reality. So what if a bunch of calls had to be reviewed... maybe if the Seahawks had played a little better none of this would have mattered?

For the record I'm not even a sports fan & didn't watch the game.”

“It's funny you bring that up. That same call was made against Alan Faneca on an interception return in the second Bengals game, I believe. The rule is that you can go after the ball carrier below the knees, but not after one of the blockers.

I didn't agree with the call made by the officials in the superbowl on that account, and I don't like the rule in general! But, if you really believe you were jobbed because the NFL wanted the Steelers to win, you're just plain silly.


20 reasons the refs' calls didn't matter...

1. The Refs didn't give up the longest run in SB history...Seattle's defense did.
2. The Refs didn't bite on a 43 yd trick play, Randle to Ward for a TD...Seattle's defense did.
3. The Refs didn't allow Ben to scramble around on a 3rd and 28 and complete a long pass to the 2 yd. line...Seattle's defense did.
4. The Refs didn't miss two field goals, that was Seattle.
5. The Refs didn't fail to step out of bounds late in the 1st half to stop the clock in Pitt territory in a crunch time situation...Seattle's offense did.
6. The Refs didn't let the 1st half clock tick down from 48 seconds all the way down to 13 seconds before finally running their next play at Pitt's 36 yd line...Seattle's offense did.
7. And on this play, 3rd down, 53 yds away from a FG, it wasn't the Refs who tried and failed to go deep for a TD rather than a safer 5-7 yd play and timeout setting up a much easier FG attempt....that, again, would be Seattle's offense.
8. The Refs didn't get confused by Pitt's zone defense and throw an INT...that would be Seattle's QB.
9. The Refs didn't let a little physical contact intimidate them from catching 4 very catchable passes...that would be the Seattle TE Jeremy Stevens.
10. With approx. 20 seconds left in the game, knowing they need a TD and FG, in no particular order, and in easy FG range on 4th down, it wasn't the Refs who ignored the FG and elected to throw up a prayer trying for a TD...that AGAIN would be Seattle.
11. The Refs didn't constantly punt deep into the end zone, repeatedly giving Pitt the ball at the 20 yd line...that of course was Seattle.
12. It wasn't the Refs who received a Christmas gift wrapped easy INT lobbed in perfect position to return deep into Pitt territory...the lucky beneficiary of that break would be Seattle.
13. It wasn't the Refs who got a break when a Steeler DB dropped an easy int early in the game...that too would be a break for Seattle.
14. It wasn't the Refs who caught a break when a Steeler WR dropped a very catchable TD pass...that break again would go to Seattle.
15. It wasn't the scapegoat Refs that received a break when a WR caught the ball, turned, stepped, was hit hard enough to cause a fumble, and then ruled INCOMPLETE...that would be of course, another chance for Seattle.
(this was an interesting call considering that after Troy's famous overruled Int, the NFL stated that it WAS a catch. If so, than this definitely WAS a catch)
16. The Refs werent the ones who caught a break when at the conclusion of a 2nd qtr play, as a Pitt DE was walking away, the Seattle Center blindsided the defenseless player, leveling him to the ground. This mysteriously unseen crime was again another break for Seattle.
17. It wasn't the Refs who got a break when Pitt QB Big Ben was blocked in the back as he pursued the DB who he'd tossed an int to...that again would go to Seattle.
18. It wasn't the Refs who stopped Seattle RB Alexander in a few key situations. That would be the Pittsburgh Steelers.
19. It wasn't the Refs who converted many of their 3rd downs yet stopped their opponent on 3rd down often...that would be the Pittsburgh Steelers.
20. And the very bottom line is this...On plays when there wasn't any penalties...One team made plays and one team didn't. The end result was the final score, 21-10 Seattle was outcoached and outplayed.

Get over it Seattle.

Congratulations to the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers”

I think that's a key point. As I said before, championship teams overcome bad breaks, whether it's from the Refs, the way the balls bounce, or player mistakes. The Seahawks didn't do that in Detroit, the Patriots didn't in Denver, the Steelers did in Indy.

I heard Deshea Townsend on the radio, he was asked about the referee controversy. He said (basically), sometimes the play calling goes against you - sometimes it goes with you. We had to overcome that and the crowd against the #1 seeded team at Indianapolis.”

“3. The Refs didn't allow Ben to scramble around on a 3rd and 28 and complete a long pass to the 2 yd. line...Seattle's defense did.

That one play changed the complextion of the game. The Seahawks never recovered. BTW, I believe Ben had forward progress on that touchdown run which put him just over the front of the goal line. Either way, the replay was inconclusive and couldn't be overturned. The PI in the endzone was just that, a push off.

Congratulations Steeler fans!
Next year, the Giants!!! (ya right) ;-)”

“Congrads, to Pittsburgh.

“"Hasselbeck's best play came when he nailed Ike Taylor after the cornerback's fourth-quarter pick, and took down the blocker as well, one of the toughest plays you'll ever see a QB make, but this was a game in which no one dared to be great, including back judge Bob Waggoner. He dropped the flag, calling a low block on Hasselbeck and giving the Steelers a nice head start on the drive that pushed the score to 21-10. A heartless call. When you take down a ball carrier, it's a tackle, not a block, even though you might collect a second trophy along the way." - Dr. Z

“Kornheiser, Theismann, Tirico on new crew as MNF shifts to cable

February 8, 2006

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) -- Former quarterback Joe Theismann, Washington Post columnist Tony Kornheiser and Mike Tirico will be the broadcast crew for "Monday Night Football" next season as the long-running show shifts to ESPN from ABC.

The moves leave Al Michaels free to switch to NBC, which takes over Sunday night games next season from ESPN. John Madden, Michaels' broadcast partner for the last four seasons, agreed in June to a six-year contract with NBC.

At a news conference in July, Michaels said he would remain with "Monday Night Football" when it switched to ESPN. He was to be paired with Theismann, who had broadcast Sunday night games on ESPN with Mike Patrick and Paul Maguire.

Mike Breen will replace Michaels as the lead NBA play-by-play announcer on ABC/ESPN. He will be joined by former NBA coach Hubie Brown, hired in December 2004 as the analyst.

Theismann was an NFL quarterback for 12 seasons and had worked on ESPN's Sunday night games since 1988. In addition to working for the Post, Kornheiser has co-hosted "Pardon the Interruption" on ESPN since September 2001 with Michael Wilbon, another Post writer.

Tirico has been a "SportsCenter" host for ESPN and handled play-by-play of the last Orange Bowl. He has worked for ESPN and ABC since 1991.

Michele Tafoya returns for her third season as a "Monday Night Football" sideline reporter, and Suzy Kolber was added as a second sideline reporter



I am not sure that I am going to like MNF on ESPN. I know ESPN is looking at doing Thursday night games but wasn't it mentioned they might be available only on the NFL network.
I can forsee ESPN going to a pay per view eventually on NFL games :(”
