BTW I have been here less than a year and already have met dozens of Steeler fans from PA. Given the small size of Bullhead City (yeah it sounds big) it is really amazing the amunt of people from PA
Holmes had missed the previous throw. Not this one. Leaning over the white boundary stripe, five feet shy of the end line, Holmes snatched the high ball out of the air and got what -- one, two feet down? The Ultra Slow-Motion camera at NBC director Fred Gaudelli's disposal (the network had three of these artsy cameras in use, two low at either end zone, and one on the 50) dispelled all doubt that Holmes got his right foot down. No way referee Terry McAulay would have been able to overturn the call anyway, but Ultra Slow-Mo assured that the Steelers had their touchdown -- and Roethlisberger his drive for the ages.
with the Seahawks I wanted this one to be problem/referee free. I guess with all the hoopla that will never happen again. Although I just saw page 33 in Sports Illustrated very clear shot of Holmes catching the pass both feet clearly on the ground.
interesting...
The NFL Network has recently put Super Bowl XL as the seventh most controversial event in NFL history.

Hey circ you gave it a good fight.
game over
Wow dude...you're so "over it" that I'm starting to feel sorry for you...:(
And yet the Steelers still won and noo ne talks about the calls blown in favor of the Seahawks they only whine about the calls that went against. As posted several years ago bad calls were made in both directions.Quote:

and your response is reread all the posts:confused:Quote:
"I'll go to my grave wishing that I'd been better."
You can give up the bad calls on both sides argument everyone (outside of Pittsburgh perhaps) knows the key momentum (and ultimately game changing) calls went against the Seahawks:yesb:
peopole in Pittsburgh and ESPN and the NFL as is written in my post from 2 years ago. Which is why I suggested rereading them if you ever read them. And this official is just stating this now years later?Quote:

...that XL = XLIII in Roman numerals. Perhaps you and VXR have been going at it so long that you forgot the original topic of this thread:
Riff started the jack with post 7, but I'd say you guys have given it a life all your own. No worries though, I'll stay out of "your" thread. ;)Quote:
Superbowl XLIII Tampa Florida
Ok, since I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and Tampa is hosting the Superbowl this year, I thought I would start this thread.
Who are you for? Cardinals or Steelers.
I grew up in St. Louis Missouri and have always loved the Cardinals. They played in St. Louis and I went to many games. They moved to Phoenix and I still follow and love the team. Go Kurt Warner.
Cardinals 32 Steelers 28.

Thank you VXR for your dedication and for carrying the P.N.W. Torch in your olympic battle with CIRCMAND.:yeso:Quote:

1. this SB was held in 2006. If it bothered the ref so bad why didnt he say something over the last 5 years?
2, If he felt he screwed up so bad why didnt he quit since he evidently sucked so bad
3. Without that call maybe they score a TD they still lose 21-17.
4. The holding every play by the Hawks offensive line was better documented than this bad call how may that have affected the Steeler defense which is who won the game.
5. The AP story says the ref said he blew it after 5 years the AP story did not say if that was a fact just that the ref said it.
6. I wonder why exactly the ref waits so long to admit he blew it. Maybe the Seahawks paid him money to lie about it? Hell after 5 years of having people berate him about it maybe he was brainwashed to think it actually was a bad call.

That would mean I'd have to care enough to be well informed about football.Quote:

here is another good one:

notice these quotes:
Quote:
just because Leavy admitted to blowing two calls doesn't mean that those were the only errors in the game. Leavy wasn't the one who called the Roethlisberger touchdown; that was head linesman Mark Hittner. Nor was Leavy in charge of the first-quarter offensive pass interference call on Seahawks receiver Darrell Jackson. Do the Seahawks have to wait another five years for the admissions on those calls?
Quote:
But because of the calls made, the league's subsequent denial that anything was wrong with those calls, and Leavy's admission of guilt so much later, this game will never go away.
If the Seahawks were any good at all and deserving to win the Super Bowl and the Steelers werre undeserving why was Pittsburgh back for a 6th win in the SB and Seattle never got in it again? Frankly this shows the Seahawks were probably recipients of HELP to get there in the beginning but did not deserve to be there otherwise they would have gotten in the SB again by now.
7-9 wins:yesb:
Despite the fact that it would be easier to beat a 7-9 team as opposed to the other teams that actually deserve to be in the playoffs I hope the Seagulls get knocked out before they play the Steelers in the SB. Otherwise it will be another 5 years of listeningto complaints from Seagull fans that the NFL cheated them out of a SB win which they should never have been inQuote:

if you look att he thread topic you would see it is about football and not the Dakar rally so I do not see why you would expect to see posts about the Dakar rally. I do not go to many car sites do they all post off topic? Or do they all talk about just one topic?Quote:
