Super Sentimental


I don't want to take too much time writing about football, it hurts too much knowing it's over now, but after the Super Bowl I just had to blow one gasket. I know it was Jerome Bettis' last game, that the Steelers were the sweet, happy story of the playoffs, and that Bill Cowher finally got a chapionship, but holy crap was the officiating bad. It's not that the Seahawks would have won the game or that every call was bad, but it just seems a little wierd that the calls that went against Seattle changed the game and the ones against Pittsburgh didn't ever really matter.

I'm not saying there's some conspiracy (though that would be sweet because maybe then they'd make the movie Conspiracy Theory 2) just that the officials got a little sentimental and let it affect their judgment. I'm happy for Jerome, I just wish officials wouldn't have such a big impact on a good game.
