Aretha Franklin didn't seem to appreciate the up speed tempo of the National Anthem.  They did a good job of hurrying her through it and keeping it under 5 minutes. 

Aaron Neville looked completely disinterested once she started singing.

Also, the Seahawks have had chances, and blown them.  If they end up losing, they can look at the first quarter where they could have had a two-TD lead.

my drunken superbowl thoughts....

if i never see jerome bettis again in my life ill be happy...


mike irvin was very classy in his response to not making the hall of fame...

the rolling stones are NOT the greatest rock and roll band of all time

sons and daughters looks painful...but i believe its replacing the extra hideous commander in chief so that a good thing

mick jagger looks like hes melting...

does this whole thing make anyone else kinda sick to their stomach?

ok, its $50 each for 15 minutes of work...remember to wear bright colors and jump the whole time...we only have one take people...lets make it a good one..."cue mick"

i think charlie watts lived next door to tom hanks in the burbs...

i know 60 is the new 50 but mick is pretty mobile for a 62 year old...you know the lesson there kids....coke...lots and lots of coke...

joey porter has biz markie teeth...

motorola: this thing is called the pebble?

sharpies: i love sharpies....i generally dont like change but retractable sharpies are a good idea...because a lot of times i get ink on my hand putting the cap on...commercial is weak though...

jerramy stevens: HOW DO YOU DROP THAT...

budweiser: "clydesdales"...sweet i guess but am i to believe horses WANT to pull that big cart?

nationwide: "fabio"....i dont even get this....hes old all of a sudden

my prop bets did unbelievably awful...

careerbuilder.com: kinda blah until the end where a.) they have fitted all of the donkeys in business attire (haha...their asses in pants look HUGE) and b.) the donkeys are trying to convince her to go drinking with them at lunch....i like it

the wolds fastest indian: sir anthonys stunt double is getting PAID.

jerramy stevens should be cut...i dont care if he scored...cut him.....no questions asked...right now...

degree: "men who take risks"...gay...was that a foreign commercial...it looks like a mentos ad.

god if al michaels said "gadget play" one more time...

pirates of the carribean: is the original as good as people say?

richard dean anderson is still milking macgyver???.....good for him....

the only thing worse than the steelers are their hideous fans....and the only thing worse than them are the bandwagon fans who somehow believe the team is some sort of embodiment of the working class ethos.....if you really need that in your life find it somewhere millionaires are more scarce....come to the linc talking that mess....how working class are you if you were able to drop five grand on a pair of tickets...friggin four teeth havin mullet rockin perogi ridden white trash POS

I hate the Steelers with a passion. After being out here at college for 3 1/2 years, I have to say that their fans are clueless, moronic, and just plain dumb. I hate having to hear them talk about how great their team is. It sickens me that Rothlesburger got a ring before McNabb, and that they had a lot of favorable calls.

The BALL NEVER CROSSED THE PLANE! It was clear in the replay. The line judge even signaled that he was stopped but then threw up his other arm because he was told that the Steelers needed to win because it would be a good story. Screw the NFL, screw the Steelers. Friggin' A-Holes.

If I hear one more dumbass Steelers fan much a zesty as comment I'm going to hurl.

Bad Calls Tonight:

1. The Big Ben TD. The ball never crossed the plane until he was already down. Even the replay farged it up

2. The holding call on Warricks punt return

3. The holding call on Stevens' catch that would've put them at the 1. Locklear did not hold Clark Haggans, boys and girls.

4. The call on the Hasselbeck fumble. Replay got it right, but he was clearly touched.

5. The Darrell Jackson catch that should've been a TD. He kicked the pylon. As ESPN pointed out they gave Mike Vick a TD on the exact same type of a play. Jacksons one foot was in and the other kicked the pylon. Should've been a TD.

6. Joey Porter horse collar tackle on Alexander...no call.

7. PI on Darrell Jackson in the end zone. Ticky tack bullshtein call.

8. 15 yard penalty on hasselbeck after he made the tackle on Ike Taylor's iNT return. How the hell can a tackler be called for BLOCKING BELOW THE WAIST WHEN HE IS NOW A DEFENDER?!?!

yes, thank you for pointing out the thread is in the wrong place, as to why you should probably read my first and only post in this thread.  i'm an idiot (although alcohal induced) and really think the eagles should've been there to whoops the steelers asses.

what a farging piece of shtein yawn of a football game.. seriously.

i don't think there was one interesting point of this pathetic excuse of a football game.

again, thousands of apologies, and i hope this thread ends like the eagles season..  silently, hopeless, and pathetically.

i'm so glad roth lis "i have a humongous last name" won a ring before mcnabb.

seriously.

i'm glad beyond words.

so.. maybe next year and hsit.


P's. if i see hines ward smile one more time i might actually have to pick up a hobby.

The line judge should have went with his gut on the Rothlesburger dive. He originally singled that he was stopped, which would have been the right call. It looked, by the replay, that his elbow was pushed back before it broke, not to mention that he was down before it crossed

I was angry and drunk last night. The Steelers won on two big plays. Other than that they were lucky to have won. I think Seattle executed better most of the time, but they got ridiculous calls made against them and threw their momentum out of whack.

That being said, would you celebrate any less if the Eagles had won under these circumstances?
The Steelers played just well enough to win.  They capitalized on every bad call.
The Seabags played just poorly enough to lose.  Either of those missed field goals makes it a one score game.  And after all the trash talk, you'd have thought Stevens would catch some of those balls thrown his way.

i'll agree with others in saying i have never seen a "defender" called for an illegal block when attempting to make a tackle. (in reference to the penalty on hasselbeck tackling taylor on his INT). i honestly was completely baffled by that, and in turn began to question the unbiasedness of NFL officiating. when has a defender ever blocked anyone? they dont block, they get blocked.

if that were the case, roethlisberger should have had it called on him as well in the colts game.

As was stated in game, it is legal to chop the ball carrier.  The "interpretation" was that Hasslebeck cut the blocker next to the ball carrier, which is illegal.

I turned my phone off last night so I didn't have to hear from my Steeler-fan friends. Surprisingly, I got this e-mail today:

QuoteBig Ben played horribly. The refs made some questionable calls in the Steeler's favor. Except for Parker's 75 yard TD run, Seattle shut down our running game. They beat us in time of possession and total yards gained.
We're lucky to have won. I happy, of course, but it feels a little hollow.

Makes me wonder how much I would have enjoyed this if it was an Eagles win, as it would always be tainted by controversy.

You may be right, but I think anyone who is "100% sure" either way is a buffoon. It was as close as close gets.

My initial thought watching the play live was that he didn't get it and it looked like the linesman was going to signal him down.  As he was running towards the pile he then signaled touchdown. 

IMO, he signaled TD when Rothlisburger placed the ball in the endzone after he was down.  And you could clearly see that on the replay.  The ball came loose for a second from under Roth and then he pushed it across the goal line. 

I think that regardless of what the call was on the field, the ref got the replay right by not overturning it.  There simply wasn't enough visual evidence to swing his decision either way.  I think that's one of the few things that he got right.

Not really. I made it back to even. But I was pissed that it was a zesty game and the zesty refs didn't help matters.

Roethlisberger sucked a nut.

Rouen padded his average by repeatedly booting punts into the end zone, instead of popping them inside the 20.

Couldn't agree more. I hate when fans use that excuse when it's unfounded; but you'd at least think the biggest game of the season could be called correctly. That game was a travesty.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Nevada's legal sports books made money on Super Bowl bets as gamblers set a record of $94.5 million in wagers.

Figures released Tuesday by the state Gaming Control Board showed the state's 176 licensed books won $8.8 million - for a 9.3 win percentage - Sunday in Pittsburgh's 21-10 victory over Seattle in the NFL title game.

I didn't think he got in either.  Not when the play happened or during the replay.  Then I saw this.  Looks like the ball may have crossed the goal line after all.   That is, if that blurry thing directly under Ben's helmet is the ball.

QuoteRolling Stones: Super Bowl censorship was "absolutely ridiculous"

NEW YORK - Nobody turns off the microphone on Mick Jagger without a fight.
Advertisment

Censorship of their songs during the Super Bowl halftime show was "absolutely ridiculous and completely unnecessary," the Rolling Stones said through a spokeswoman on Tuesday.

The NFL, which produced the show seen on ABC Sunday night, silenced Jagger's microphone during sexually suggestive passages of two of the three songs the band performed before an audience of 90 million television viewers.

The NFL, still nervous over the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction two years ago at the Super Bowl, has said it wanted to ensure family entertainment at the game.

"The band was aware of our plan to simply lower Mick's mike at the appropriate moments," said NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy. "It was discussed with the group last week prior to the Super Bowl."

He declined further comment on the Stones' statement.

The band may have known about it, but that doesn't mean they liked it, spokeswoman Fran Curtis said. Jagger sang the full lyrics during his performance, she said.

In "Start Me Up," the show's editors silenced one word close to the song's end, a reference to a woman so sexy she could arouse a dead man. The lyrics for "Rough Justice" included a synonym for rooster that was removed.

The Stones also performed "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," but the lyric "I can't get no girlie action" made it through unscathed.

The incident was reminiscent of the band's performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1967, when the host demanded the Stones change the lyrics to "Let's Spend the Night Together." As ordered, Jagger sang "let's spend some time together," but he rolled his eyes for effect.

hey Mick, shut up, you're a farging sellout and you always have been.  you knew the deal and are trying to save face by bitching about it now.

QuoteFans braved temperatures in the 20s and occasional flurries. Many arrived hours before the scheduled 11 a.m. start. Police estimated 250,000 fans turned out and reported no problems.
