My son had one ref that was an official in multiple sports. He called a penalty on my son's basketball team because he said that my son hung on the rim in warm ups. There were many worse calls than that, but that was the most ridiculous.

They usually rule that a technical foul (with two freethrows). The kids from the indian schools here do that alot, aside from their run and gun offense.

Once when I was in high school, this one indian team had run up 82 team fouls, game ended up being forefeited after it was learned one of the players was 22 years old.

There should be a rule if a ref makes a bad call, his pay gets docked a certain amount of dollars.

[frankjr]

That was a great pass...on a great trick play!

"I wonder who is winning the game?"

It appears to be the fellas wearing the stripes.

[beyond the sea]

Karl Rove Trickery!!!!

The Seahawks have been beating up the Steelers all afternoon. The Refs are giving the Steelers the game. You cannot deny that.

[Wristpin]

They have less to work with since Peyton's meltdown.

[BOBWADE]

I am a steelers fan but still have to respect the birds. They didn't get here by dumb luck. Still plenty of time left for anything to happen. Back to biting my nails for now.

[Jrabbit]

Yesssssssss!! $50!

Thank you Steelers!!

[highlander_UW]

The Steelers had that exact call go against them twice this season (Indy and Colts regular season). I disagree with the rule and how it's been interpretted this year but at least they're consistent.

You mean the Steelers aren't allowed to tackle below the waist previously? So you're saying that since there have been bad ref calls in the past the refs should job the Seahawks in the Super bowl?

[jayef]

You obviously have never played the game and my guess is you don't watch it much either. Jamming a guy in his chest is NEVER holding. NOT EVER!!!

[pollyannaish]

My son just remarked that they aren't called the "Stealers" for nothing. LOL.

[Pyro7480]

I liked the MacGyver commercial!

[silent_jonny]

MacGyver Mastercard commercial--10!

[craig_eddy]

This is THE WORST officiating I've seen in a really long time.

[TheConservator]

Summary:

Seahawks play half-way decent--but make to many mistakes to deserve to win.

Steelers play unimpressively.

Refs hand game to Steelers.

[NEPA]

It isn't over yet. I wish it were, but it aint.

It is getting good though. The Iron City is going down pretty good now. I'll be peeing all night.

[Jo Nuvark]

Jack is back! OH MY GOSH!

Great Budweiser commercial!!!

They're saving the best for the end.

Commercials redeemed.

[Hildy]

I can't enjoy the ballgame while Seattle is losing...we have $50 riding on it...and I have a $5 sidebet with a friend who kinda hustled me into it!!!!!

[TheBigB]

Back-to-back-to-back commercials for Pirates of the Caribbean, the MacGyver Mastercard, and Stacy Keibler's legs. Sweeeet. :)
