Disputed calls are one thing, but when I taped the program and took the time to review, pause an step-through frame by frame the ball spotting by the refs, they repeatedly, especially when it counted most, shorted Seattle and advantaged Pittsburg. The most obvious case was the one where Hasselback ran for what was clearly sufficient for a first down. When the refs moved (spotted) the ball, sure enough, you could see they moved it back about a foot at least from where it should have been so that it ended up short by 6 inches or so. A picture tells it all. Way beyond the perhaps arguable bad or missed calls, the "fix" was dialed in for Pittsburg from the start.

I saw the same thing too.

This was scripted, and all the Squeeler fans can post "crying baby" pictures all they want, but the fact remains that the rest of the league, and the rest of the fans will always look upon this "victory" as a farce.

20 years from now, NFL films will still talk about the ASTERISK.

OH PLEASE, no cares TODAY who lost the superbowl.

Seahawks have been losers, are losers and will remain losers.

They had one chance and didn't show up to play.

The "EMERALD CITY" is just Detroit covered with MOLD.

Too bad you haven't been watching the NFL long enough to know the rules.

But that has been the trend for all the whiners and crybabes. There was one true bad call -- the Hassleback supposed illegal tackle. But the way the Steelers were playing, I doubt the 15 yards made any difference.
