AS I predicted. AS a WI Green Bay Packer fan I wished the loss on Holmgren
Actually, the refs won the game for PIttsburgh, that was the worst officiated Superbowl I've ever seen.
The playoffs were bad too.
I have never seen such a one sided game in terms of the officials. The phantom calls on Seattle were incredible. I have never seen a guy get a 15 yard penalty for tackling the guy with the ball as Hasselback did. Was it my imagination, or did Holmgren not even come out to midfield to shake Cowers hand. Not a conspiracy theorist here, but I think Bush wanted the Steelers to win and Abrahamoff bought off the officials. I see a congressional investigation led by that goofy Senator Patty Murray from State of Washington...
Packer fan here too. I'm glad Holmgren lost also.
I liked them
I think I missed the FedEx one. Maybe I was in the bathroom at that moment?
STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!
In other words, they deserved it even before the game began because they already accomplished that, right? Now I think I understand the refereeing a bit better. Obviously they were thinking the same thing.
" I only found the FedEx one about the cavemen to even be entertaining."
it WAS funny. do you know if they can be downloaded anywhere?
I've never been too impressed by the ads. Actually, it shows to go you how whacked out our country is that watercooler buffoons and NY Times origami folding types 'look forward' to commercials.
TV commercials!
I think Lynn Swann also gained about 3 points in the gubernatorial race in PA...
Not a surprise but disappointing; I didn't see or hear any of it. The only thing I'm sorry I missed was the national anthem.
They were all lame including the FedEx ad, (wow, what an original punch line - "FedEx hasn't been invented yet" - LAME-O!,) but there was an animated ad, I don't remember for who, that looked so creative and expensive to make, I thought it was a preview of some movie.
A close game decided by the officials. Disgraceful.
Sorry, but I agree, I wish I could. My son came up with the topper, though: what if the fired guy then went like Napoleon Dynamite (in caveman).
Why is everyone tripping over the refs? Seattle made some dumb penalties.
OKay, that one was good.
XL will be known as the Gimme Bowl.
I bet the under (47). Woo-hoo!
I understand player # 127 won the MVP
