big up to holmgren for taking on the nfl and its shameful officials

"We knew it was going to be tough going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers," Holmgren said, "I didn't know we were going to have to play the guys in the striped shirts as well."


im thinking he got to review the tape and saw truly awful the calls were...

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.

But Montana, the only three-time Super Bowl MVP, told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, "I've moved on with my life. People think I need to be stuck with football the rest of my life.''

I cringe in pain when I see his FedEx commercial.

Would you rather him lecture you about hypertension?  I met him and that's all he wanted to talk about.


I was 28 farging years old!

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.

he told Cowher that during the replay, so that Cowher would already know what his decision was if they overturned it.  he did get in though.

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.

Interesting but that sure isn't how the replay looked.   Conspiracy - photo enhanced!

Rolling 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.
