Stop crying and Get Over It. Super Bowl XL This is for the Seattle crybabies and other excuse makers...print this out and give it to them, no need to say anything. 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. And Seattle if you're Steel salty and steel reaching for excuses... 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 Steelers 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 Steelers 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 weren't 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 weren't any penalties...One team made plays and one team didn't. The end result was the final score, 21-10. Get over it Seattle, lose with a little dignity. Congratulations to the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tainted Steel Our mission is to raise money to put up a billboard in front of Heinz Field in which the truth will be on display for all to see. Its location will draw attention from the national media and embarass the NFL.

The horse is dead, already. What's done is done. I can probably fathom a guess on how many Super Bowls either the Steelers or Seahawks even get to in the next 5 years.... none. It is what it is....a poorly played, poorly officiated game for and by both teams.

Unfortunately hbzflow, no one is going to take responsibility for the officiating. The NFL will do their obligatory inquiry of which nothing will come out of it. Never does, never will.

A pretty boring game, and I've seen some boring Super Bowl games but this was especially bad. Hopefully The Bus can now just go away, and, by the way, Jerome, take the Rolling Stones with you, THEY are past their prime, too.

Seattle SuperSeahawks Sean Alexander ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns to send the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl as NFC champions over the Carolina Panthers, 34-14.

Congratulations to the Seahawks for punching their Super Bowl tickets to Detroit, hopefully in two weeks they will bring the Lombardi Trophy to the Emerald City and their fans. GO HAWKS!

Ron Artest wishes to be traded. Some rather hot-headed analysis here. I don't understand what this guy is thinking.

The guy isn't thinking at all.....about his teammates or this organization which has put up with his antics for far too long. Just another case of a selfish athlete crying like a bitch to the media to get what he wants, a fat payday down the road from the Knicks, not a championship. That is, if the Knicks are listening.....I can see it now, Artest playing for Larry Brown, a disaster waiting to happen.

This is absolutely ridiculous already. The horse is already dead. Great Pittsburgh, you state the obvious, won Super Bowl 40. We all know this. It was also one of the most poorly played games by both teams, and the officiating was equally bad against both teams. I'll fathom a guess over the next 5 years how many times will we all see Seattle and Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. How about none? Enjoy it while you can.
