Not sure, I just thought the caption at the bottom was funny. They are running out of things to talk about, so they thought a good idea would be to explain the art of trash talking :P

[Axegrinder]

This is the last competitive game of the football season.
We should relish this time because the withdrawls are going to set in.
Go SeaHawks!!!

[danny's stogie]

So I have a hockey game at 8 pm mountain time :( . The super bowl starts at 4 here so kickoff by what, 4:30 maybe, then around 4 hours to play the game. I'm hoping for a bad super bowl so that I don't mind leaving the couch and my case of Fat Tire.

Go SeaHawks!!!Booooooo

:waving terrible towel:

Go Russ Grimm and the Steelers.

This will probably be the shortest game thread of the year.

[darkwing99]

watchout for john riggins

[bgforever]

watchout for john riggins

Wouldn't it be funny if Riggins was loaded and stole the ball on kickoff and raced downfield like the Burger King? :)

[bgforever]

Starting just like I thought, pass first.

[Seebs]

Watching the game live in France. 1:10 AM local time. I won't be really productif tomorrow at work :D

[IowaSkinsFan]

This game is a carbon copy of the Redskins game with the Seahawks. Pittsburgh's first 4 drives all starting at their twenty yard line and they can't change field position.

Actually, that INT just thrown by Big Ben equivalent to a punt for Pittsburgh.

[Seebs]

French production of SB XL is a kind of train wreck. It's the first time that it is done by public Tv (for the last 18 years it was done by the French equivalent of HBO). AT least they have the only french who played in the NFL (Tardits who played with the pats in the early 90s).

They have massacred the beautidul (my opinion) version of the anthem by Aretha and one of the Neville brothers.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Great tackle on Strong...looks like he is short.

[Seebs]

Actually, that INT just thrown by Big Ben equivalent to a punt for Pittsburgh.

maybe it can have an ipact morally on the team.

They are not piggy backing the ABC broadcast?

[IowaSkinsFan]

Well, the Pittsburgh D finally got a stop without giving up two or three first downs. Now the Pittsburgh O needs to get two or three of their own and get some points.

[IowaSkinsFan]

I don't recall the Seattle D being this tough earlier in the year.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Man I didn't think that shovel pass had enough mustard on it to get there.

[Seebs]

Nnice shovel by Big Ben.

Edit : correction of my lack of vocabulary...

[HAWGZHEAD]

OK, so this game is going totally the opposite as I thought it would have. Seattle controlling the ball and the Steelers continually going 3 and out.

[Seebs]

Finaly they move the chains.

[Seebs]

Lot of flags in the game.
some are questionnable, aren't they?

[Seebs]

GREAT GREAT PLAY! lot of poise by this young QB!

[IowaSkinsFan]

Pittsburgh should have ran play action on one of those two plays.

[hail2skins]

I can't believe he completed that duck of a pass.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Boulware really looked awkward in space on that Big Ben scramble.

[IowaSkinsFan]

That wasn't a TD.

[Seebs]

Not sure it is a TD.

[IowaSkinsFan]

There is no way they can rule that a TD. Seattle will be really PO'd if they don't overturn this.

[IowaSkinsFan]

The line judge didn't initially call it a TD. After Ben hit the ground he then moved the ball across and then the line judge signaled TD.

[Seebs]

What did they say? No undiscutable evidence?

[IowaSkinsFan]

I don't know what he saw, because I didn't see it.

[Seebs]

Hey Rob, I like your location! Very funny!

[IowaSkinsFan]

What did they say? No undiscutable evidence?

He didn't say anything other than the ruling on the field stands. Reminds me of the old days of Instant replay.

I am rooting for Pittsburgh but I think Seattle got hosed on that call.

Should be 3-3 right now.

Seattle has to feel frustrated and Pittsburgh fortunate.

Same for me. I root for the steel, but it was not a TD.

Lot lot of flags.

[IowaSkinsFan]

Hey Rob, I like your location! Very funny!

It seems appropriate, doesn't it?

[Seebs]

It seems appropriate, doesn't it?

You know I have French soccer to worry about! Nut yes it is very appropriate for the skins.

[Seebs]

It was close! the guy just forgot he is a pro and has to put 2 feet in the field.

[NCskinsfanatic]

Pretty close match up so far, been hanging out with my little boy just checking in to see everyones thoughts thus far.

[IowaSkinsFan]

I thought someone got a hand on that kick.

[NCskinsfanatic]

Guess Brown doesnt just choke against us ....huh?

[IowaSkinsFan]

You know I have French soccer to worry about! Nut yes it is very appropriate for the skins.

Well, I've got Cardinal baseball but that is two months away.

[Seebs]

Holmgren doesn't look happy. Normal, his Qb doesn't make great throws (the last 2 were so so - very difficult to keep them on the field) + he got robbed of a TD or 2 (one on offense, one on defense).

[IowaSkinsFan]

Holmgren talked about the Big Ben TD walking off the field at halftime, nothing else.

[Seebs]

Well, I've got Cardinal baseball but that is two months away.

European soccer goes from august to may, so I usually have sth to follow + this year is a year of world cup!

[IowaSkinsFan]

Holmgren doesn't look happy. Normal, his Qb doesn't make great throws (the last 2 were so so - very difficult to keep them on the field) + he got robbed of a TD or 2 (one on offense, one on defense).

This is exactly what I didn't want to happen....now all of the Seattle fans will contend they were robbed and cheated and I will have to listen to that all offseason, or all the way to work tomorrow anyway.

[Slobberknocker]

No... it should be 10-3 because the Seattle offensive pass interference call on the touchdown was also questionable.

This is a LAME Super Bowl so far and the commericals are horrible!

[Seebs]

Holmgren talked about the Big Ben TD walking off the field at halftime, nothing else.

What are you thoughts on the offensive pas sinterference that nullified a seattle Td?

[Seebs]

This is exactly what I didn't want to happen....now all of the Seattle fans will contend they were robbed and cheated and I will have to listen to that all offseason, or all the way to work tomorrow anyway.

There is seattle fans outside of the state of Washington?

[Seebs]

This is a LAME Super Bowl so far and the commericals are horrible!

I feel you the broadcast here in France is LAME also!

[Slobberknocker]

I feel you the broadcast here in France is LAME also!

Yes, but at least you're in France. You can always run out and watch pretty girls in cafes. Oh, wait -- it's 2 AM... not many pretty girls out at that hour, unless they're boozing it up.

[Seebs]

AT least we have the cheerleaders of the dolphins on the french broadcasting...

[IowaSkinsFan]

There is seattle fans outside of the state of Washington?

Two that I know of, and I carpool with one of them.

[Seebs]

Yes, but at least you're in France. You can always run out and watch pretty girls in cafes. Oh, wait -- it's 2 AM... not many pretty girls out at that hour, unless they're boozing it up.

2AM and sunday, definetely no girls in cafes...

[Slobberknocker]

AT least we have the cheerleaders of the dolphins on the french broadcasting...

Cheerleaders of the Dolphins? Boy, that's interesting programming. I can't imagine how any girl would go to France and be on TV. Oh, wait a minute... what am I thinking?

[IowaSkinsFan]

What are you thoughts on the offensive pas sinterference that nullified a seattle Td?

The WR didn't need to do it to catch the ball, so he shouldn't have done it at all. I know it happens on nearly every passing play, but when you do it right in front of the back judge, you're going to get flagged for it.

Close, but correct call.

[Seebs]

Two that I know of, and I carpool with one of them.

Oh yeah I remember you talking about it.
I feel you cos my team in soccer is Paris and I work with a fan of Marseille who are our cowboys...

[Santheb]

Mick sounds terrible.

I never cared for the Stones in the first place, but man he doesn't sound good.

[IowaSkinsFan]

No... it should be 10-3 because the Seattle offensive pass interference call on the touchdown was also questionable.

This is a LAME Super Bowl so far and the commericals are horrible!

It happens more often than not, but not usually in front of the backjudge. It stood out because he was going to his left and his right arm was extended against the defender. The back judge really didn't have a choice but to call that.

Now the Big Ben TD on the other hand....I am at a loss of words to explain that one.

[Seebs]

Cheerleaders of the Dolphins? Boy, that's interesting programming. I can't imagine how any girl would go to France and be on TV. Oh, wait a minute... what am I thinking?

Must be diificult for them. Those past few weeks the temperature has been below 0° Celsius here. Quite a difference from Miami. And they don't seem to have a lot of things to wear ;-)

[IowaSkinsFan]

Oh yeah I remember you talking about it.
I feel you cos my team in soccer is Paris and I work with a fan of Marseille who are our cowboys...

You've got it a lot worse than I do then. If I had to work with a Cowboy fan I might quit.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Ugh, the best thing that could happen to the Rolling Stones is a mercy killing. Did they for get how to play their own song? Horrible.

[Seebs]

Mick sounds terrible.

I never cared for the Stones in the first place, but man he doesn't sound good.

I would have prefrred the stevie wonder show.

[Santheb]

That was a horrible rendition of Start Me Up, lol.

Why didn't they get freaking KISS? Come on, it is Detroit..Detroit Rock City..

[IowaSkinsFan]

I wonder how many times the Stone have played that song.

[Seebs]

Ugh, the best thing that could happen to the Rolling Stones is a mercy killing. Did they for get how to play their own song? Horrible.

They are in their 60's. They start to forget some things...

[HAWGZHEAD]

Someone make them stop please. I get nautious watching geriatrics wiggle their hips.

[Seebs]

They don't do Neo-Con. What a surprise!

[HAWGZHEAD]

On a better music note, did anyone see Prince on SNL last night. I forgot how good a guitar player he was. It was a great performance.

[Seebs]

Sound is horrible in France. And the thing they were hyping the more to prromote the broadcast was the Stones' concert...

[Seebs]

On a better music note, did anyone see Prince on SNL last night. I forgot how good a guitar player he was. It was a great performance.

Purple rain, Puuurrpple Raiiiiiiiinnnn...

[Santheb]

Man, KISS in their full get up and playing Detroit Rock City would be roughly 100x better than this. Mick is way too old to be doing this.

I love Keith Richards though. He just doesn't care anymore.

[Slobberknocker]

Mick sounds terrible.

I never cared for the Stones in the first place, but man he doesn't sound good.

Wow -- odd. The Stones aren't on yet here in Los Angeles. I knew there was a time delay, but what the hey?

Maybe you can tell me who wins...

[Seebs]

Wow -- odd. The Stones aren't on yet here in Los Angeles. I knew there was a time delay, but what the hey?

In France, they are finishing Satisfaction right now...

[Santheb]

Wow -- odd. The Stones aren't on yet here in Los Angeles. I knew there was a time delay, but what the hey?

Do yourself a favor and turn off your TV at halftime.

[Slobberknocker]

On a better music note, did anyone see Prince on SNL last night. I forgot how good a guitar player he was. It was a great performance.

No, but I saw him in LA on the last tour and he blew the house down. Guess I'll have to TIVO the repeat. God bless TIVO.

Hey, didn't Prince say he wouldn't play the ol' hits anymore? Hmm...

[Seebs]

Until now, the longer I was able to stay awake for a SB was end of the first half. I think I 'll beat my record soon.
Thanksfully, I'm the closest thing to a boss tomorrow at the office, I can arrive late...

[Seebs]

Lacie (http://www.miamidolphins.com/cheerleaders/2005squad/postcard/postcard.asp?cheerleader=lacie)

This is the cheerleader feom Miami that I have right now on my tv.

[Slobberknocker]

Notice how only the fans inside the tongue are jumping around? That's because they pre-screened the crowd and only select people got in.

It's not quite lip-synching, but it makes me ill.

[Slobberknocker]

Lacie (http://www.miamidolphins.com/cheerleaders/2005squad/postcard/postcard.asp?cheerleader=lacie)

This is the cheerleader feom Miami that I have right now on my tv.

Lucky you... Lacy is HOTT. Maybe we should have a cheerleader show at halftime.

I still think not having Motown do the halftime is an insult. How can you have a game in Detroit and not have halftime be by Motown?

:sleeping:

[bgforever]

BINGO! Where's my money! W. Parker TD!

[Seebs]

Uh oh, I h ope nobody was at the pee break...
What a block by #66.

[RedskinRyan]

what a play by parker

[Seebs]

The 2 last minutes of the first half and the first minute of the 2nd half are not good for the CHawks.

[bgforever]

The 2 last minutes of the first half and the first minute of the 2nd half are not good for the CHawks.


I remember I mentioned the Skins Offense was fingertips away from taking Seattle out. The D is fast, but as the clock goes, so goes their D

[Seebs]

Impressive stat for Cowher. 100-1-1 when leading by 11 points!!

[bgforever]

What a hit by Haygens on Alexander!

[HAWGZHEAD]

what a play by parkerYeah he played for UNC. :cool:

[bgforever]

Hasselbeck's looking for Jackson I bet

[RedskinRyan]

jerramy stevens keeps getting lit up!

[Seebs]

Stevens heard the ffotsteps of Pomolalu (sp)!

[Seebs]

Brown's choke part 2!

[darkwing99]

Hehehe

[RedskinRyan]

Brown's choke part 2!

the anti-vinatieri

[darkwing99]

Fabio on tv commercial ewwww..

[darkwing99]

I think i just got traumatized with that picture... reminds me of zoolander

[Seebs]

No easy catch today. Ward was magic on this one.

[Slobberknocker]

The 2 last minutes of the first half and the first minute of the 2nd half are not good for the CHawks.


I hope something changes because I feel like the game is tainted. I'm not rooting for either team... I just think Seattle got jobbed, and now they will lose all their heart soon.

[Seebs]

The bus is steamming!

[bgforever]

Here comes the Bus

[RedskinRyan]

i hope bettis gets a TD this game, no sense in him becoming the next walter payton.

[Seebs]

i hope bettis gets a TD this game, no sense in him becoming the next walter payton.

There is no fridge Perry here!

[bgforever]

I hope something changes because I feel like the game is tainted. I'm not rooting for either team... I just think Seattle got jobbed, and now they will lose all their heart soon.

I felt that it was two TD's they could have had. One with being out of bounds near the goal line and the obvious heist by the zebra in the end zone. However, the OPENING of the second half and only down by 4 points is no excuse for the Seahawks.

See NOW the Seahawks are back in it with that pick

[RedskinRyan]

now theres a turn of events

[Seebs]

Game is alive. Game-turning point??

[darkwing99]

ok it is back in balance now

[Slobberknocker]

The whole character of the game has changed. It feels like it's already over. What a lame Super Bowl.

[bgforever]

Hasslebeck's unsettled still, he threw that in a crowd.

[Seebs]

Finally Stevens Grab it!

[darkwing99]

touchdown

[RedskinRyan]

hmmm, where's joey porter on THAT play?

[bgforever]

ok that was a great call and execution!

Now we got a new game. Here come the da' scores :)

[darkwing99]

polumalu blown assignment... now only if Brown had made those 2 FG's...hmmmm

[IowaSkinsFan]

What an interesting turn of events.

[bgforever]

hmmm, where's joey porter on THAT play?

Porter cheated at the line, froze on the play fake, pump and Hasslebeck and Stevens silenced him.

[IowaSkinsFan]

I really am surprised that Cowher didn't run the ball there and play for the FG and the two TD lead.

[darkwing99]

like i said polumalu blown assignment not joey porter

[IowaSkinsFan]

It will be interesting to see if Rocky Bernard is on the field for Seattle this drive. He was grabbing his hamstring on that INT return and pulled up lame.

[IowaSkinsFan]

like i said polumalu blown assignment not joey porter

He didn't blow the coverage he got picked.

[bgforever]

I really am surprised that Cowher didn't run the ball there and play for the FG and the two TD lead.
he's trying too hard not to be conventional and being stopped. Darn that, get the points, 3 or 7 with an 11 point lead, and I agree with you.

BIG play series here.

[RedskinRyan]

lets see how big ben responds here. he's lucky he's thrown 2 picks, and his team is still up by 4. parker and the run game seems to be their best chance, although ben was starting to warm up.

[bgforever]

If the Seahawks go deep it will signal what Holgren will do EVERY series and he won't stop - throw, throw, throw. The reason being, aside from the one sack in the first half, Pittsburgh's blitzes are too late or ineffective when they do it.

In order to keep pressure up, they may want to STUNT the linemen to jump start them. They reallyaren't getting in there

[bgforever]

Holgren doesnt' agree but Shaun can't move - JJ can't find the ball, but as I thought, Holgren's intending pass all the way every series

[Slobberknocker]

The short passing attack is VERY effective against the vaunted Pittsburgh defense...

I'm just glad this is finally a game!

[darkwing99]

well he shouldn't have gotten picked it was polumalu's assignment to cover stevens, he didnt , so he blew the coverage .:)

[bgforever]

I was gone and Seattle's moving the ball at will???

[RedskinRyan]

yes! we have ourselves a ball game here, although hopefully pitt still pulls away with the V.

[bgforever]

polumalu's blowing coverages again/

[bgforever]

Holding, all the way!

[RedskinRyan]

penalties are killing the seahawks everytime they get a chance to score.

[darkwing99]

uhhuh

[Slobberknocker]

Any favorite commercials so far???

Mine: Budweiser baby Cleydesdale

Other than that? Not very impressed...

[RedskinRyan]

when all else fails, give it to the MVP

[darkwing99]

The fedex one was pretty funny

[bgforever]

Pick Ike Taylor!

[Seebs]

Yup, really too much penalties. But they don' turn .... Oups, as I wa typing Interception. Jinx...

[RedskinRyan]

ike taylor didnt drop that one! thats gonna hurt the seahawks. atleast getting a field goal would have kept this a 1 score game for them if teh steelers get a TD here, but now its gonna be a little more difficult.

[Slobberknocker]

OMG -- I can't believe this drive ended in no points! Seattle is doing everything it can to lose this game!

[bgforever]

Hasslebeck, BLOCK BELOW THE WAIST PENALTY???? Please explain this one. Doesn't he have the right to tackle the opponent, Champ Bailey swears by that kind of tackle!

[Santheb]

This ref crew SUCKS.

[Slobberknocker]

Randle-El... future Redskin!

[RedskinRyan]

Randle-El... future Redskin!

what has he done so far? last i remember from him was being hurt on the punt return.

[darkwing99]

sweet.... randle -el..future skin

[bgforever]

TD- Randle El gadget option pass 43 yd!

[RedskinRyan]

nm, he can throw a TD!

[Seebs]

The Slash makes it! What a pass from Randel El

[Slobberknocker]

This ref crew SUCKS.

Can you remember a SUPER BOWL this badly officiated???

Fitting for this year in the NFL.

[darkwing99]

or maybe we should get our own.......Micheal robinson....QB,WR....Penn St.

[Slobberknocker]

what has he done so far? last i remember from him was being hurt on the punt return.

You were saying???

[RedskinRyan]

or maybe we should get our own.......Micheal robinson....QB,WR....Penn St.

no guarantee robinson will develop, while randle-el is proven. im not into the whole converting qb's trend, but if it works it works, and i wouldnt be opposed to trying it. couldnt be much worse than chevon troutmann being a TE...

[Seebs]

Who's going to be MVP?
Nobody is a clear leader for me.

[bgforever]

When I saw him play QB at IU, he was PASSING that way almost every game (he set a record in passing in the NCAA as a matter of fact), but what kills you with this guy is he is SLASH, the productive one. When Pitt got him, you knew Kordell Stewart was doomed.

[RedskinRyan]

Who's going to be MVP?
Nobody is a clear leader for me.

my vote would go for ike taylor or willie parker right now

[bgforever]

Who's going to be MVP?
Nobody is a clear leader for me.

so far Big Ben. TD, three key first downs. The other is the Steeler's ST.

[Sonoma]

Can you remember a SUPER BOWL this badly officiated???

Yea I wish they would actually let the players decide this game. There have been alot of penalties going the Steelers way. That TD to Jackson did not even look like much of push off but once again another penalty going the Steelers way.

[Redskinfan28]

my vote would go for ike taylor or willie parker right now

If I were a Steelers fan, I would say the refs.

[darkwing99]

Robinson is an athlete ..played Wr in college...hey won his final college game against Notre Dame....he could work out for us..... fingers crossed

[Santheb]

Who's going to be MVP?
Nobody is a clear leader for me.

The refs.

I'm in full support of FULL TIME NFL refs.

[Seebs]

so far Big Ben. TD, three key first downs. The other is the Steeler's ST.

2 int, no TD pass...

[darkwing99]

fumble...dumb guy (edited by a mod)
Always knew that stuff (edited by a mod) will catch up with him

[bgforever]

Bad call again,challenge coming

[RedskinRyan]

im gonna go out on a limb and say that was not a fumble. and i agree that the refs seem to be on pitt's side in this one.

[Seebs]

Fumble or not? Blown call or not?

[bgforever]

2 int, no TD pass...

Buzz Killer! J/K :lol1:

[Santheb]

fumble...dumb guy
Always knew that stuff (edited by a mod) will catch up with him

language :/

[darkwing99]

Well not a fumble...he did get touched on that play....lucky break.

[RedskinRyan]

skins no longer gave up the longest run in a SB, parker's TD run was 1 yard longer than marcus allen's.

good call by the refs

[Seebs]

They didn't blow it! what a change!

[bgforever]

Well not a fumble...he did get touched on that play....lucky break.


WORD - Very Lucky! I hate this guy's arrogance!

[bgforever]

Porter got caught looking at a pass - weird

[RedskinRyan]

seriosuly, i havent heard anyhitng about porter in this game

[darkwing99]

You are talking about Hassleback and not me I hope?

I still cant get that crap where he holds up the ball as he went into the endzone against us. Arrongance and tried to show us up.

[Seebs]

Good blitz! Is the game sealed?

[RedskinRyan]

Good blitz! Is the game sealed?

just about. its time that the steelers ride the bus.

[darkwing99]

godaddy.com commercial is funny too..hehehe..almost 'bout gave the old man a heart attack

[darkwing99]

but daddy i dont want to go on this bus ride...

[Santheb]

He called that time out at 0..

[darkwing99]

oh well..officiating sucks ...game sucks....i dont really care about either.....

[Slobberknocker]

:cry: Once Pittsburgh wins this game, there's no way we afford Randle-El. Major bummer.

No Wayne, no El... hello, draft.

[Seebs]

ALmost 4:00 am here. I'll be wacked for work tomorrow.

[bgforever]

Seattle's lineman was showing a lack of discipline and are hurting their team, taking up the clock with emotional outburst.

Bus is pumped!

[Slobberknocker]

We'll NEVER hear the end of the Jerome Bettis wins the Super Bowl talk...

[bgforever]

Line judge is blind! half Big Ben' s body and ball was over the line and he puts the ball a nipple out past the line!

[darkwing99]

tell me about it.

[Slobberknocker]

Seattle's linemen are showing a lack of discipline and are hurting their team, taking up the clock with emotinal outburst.

Seattle hasn't played badly... but they did none of the little things you need to do to win. It's like Pittsburgh's experience came through, while Seattle played like Super-Bowl rookies...

[Slobberknocker]

Seattle is cooked.

[bgforever]

Seattle hasn't played badly... but they did none of the little things you need to do to win. It's like Pittsburgh's experience came through, while Seattle played like Super-Bowl rookies...


Exactly I was surprised how Seattle's D kept it close to be honest. However, I am more surprised at the zebras and the discipline of Seattle's offense, clock management, strange calls.

Their offense in the first half was getting back to the huddle and doing their jobs, while in the second half, they began to trash talk, moving too slowly off the filed, taking away seconds on each series, forcing Hasslebeck to wait.

Meanwhile the D screwed them on a few occassions, taking up time in the last 10 minutes flirting with trying to get revenge!

[Slobberknocker]

I don't know if I feel alone in this, but it seems like 3 quarters of this game were TERRIBLE football. The game has only come alive in the 4th.

And what's the deal with these awful commercials?

[bgforever]

And what's the deal with these awful commercials?

Except that last commercial (Bus with the Lombardi :) )

I don't know, too much screwing up on both sides

[RedskinRyan]

what a broken tackle by jureviscious, hope he's a soon to be skin.

[bgforever]

For once a poor tackle that helped the Defense :)

[bgforever]

I am sorry, but if that was Rogers or Springs, that was 6!

[RedskinRyan]

last chance for seattle to do something...

[bgforever]

Hawks down to a hope and prayer, 4th down, 47 sec

[Slobberknocker]

what a broken tackle by jureviscious, hope he's a soon to be skin.

More likely than:
1) Wayne
2) Randle-El
3) Moulds

On the flip side, I'm glad we don't have to live with the feeling that we beat the Super Bowl champs all offseason...

[RedskinRyan]

bettis will get his ring!

[darkwing99]

Lamest superbowl I have ever seen.

[Slobberknocker]

Sloppy, ugly football.

[darkwing99]

But hey i am going to Seaworld......Hehehe

[Seebs]

Who is the MVP for you?

[Slobberknocker]

Lamest superbowl I have ever seen.

Here here. I have a bad taste in my mouth. So when does the game start?

[bgforever]

If you cut my prediction in half, you would be 3 points off on both teams.

What we have to remember is the Steelers WEREN"T Division Champs, Home Field Advantage, needed 3 road wins in hostile places, with the TROPHY on the line and they beat another Div Leading, HOme Field throughout the playoffs team too!

So ugly is to them what a 27 -3 is for us.

[hail2skins]

Wow, Holmgren didn't meet Cowher at midfield. You could hear him say "where's Mike"

[rskinsfan10]

I hope Holmgren has a good excuse for stiffing Cowher.

[bgforever]

Who is the MVP for you?


The most valuable player is the TV Commercials - they were awesome!!!!! :flower1:

[Slobberknocker]

Who is the MVP for you?

Randle-El... unfortunately.

[RedskinRyan]

kind of an anti-climatic superbowl. the 7-3 halftime score gave you hope this would be a fight to the finish, but apparently the "finish" was the 3rd quarter for seattle.

[Redskinfan28]

I have a feeling Holmgren will get fined for some of his post game comments.

[Seebs]

I can't find one.

[hail2skins]

Nice for Russ Grimm to get another ring.

[Seebs]

What did he say?

[Redskinfan28]

That holding call pretty much took the wind out of them.

[Slobberknocker]

I hope Holmgren has a good excuse for stiffing Cowher.

Did you see the look on his face? He knows they let it get away. He was completely disgusted.

[Seebs]

Nice for Russ Grimm to get another ring.

Always a good thought for the skins!!

[hail2skins]

What did he say?I believe he's thinking he'll complain about the officiating.

[Redskinfan28]

What did he say?

Nothing yet - I just think he will go off about the refs. He was pissed all game at the calls and didn't meet Cowher at midfield.

[hail2skins]

Did you see the look on his face? He knows they let it get away. He was completely disgusted.That's not a good reason for stiffing Cowher.

[RedskinRyan]

my MVP is ike taylor. broke up the one pass play early, that he shoulda picked off, then had another INT when seattle was driving and down by 4.

[Seebs]

Ward MVP. I voted for him on the NFL site.

[hail2skins]

I think Ward should get it too.

[bgforever]

I can't find one.


I thought the one for the Beer God was funny! The guy has a secret compartment to send his fridge loaded with bear, to the other side of the wall, when his parents come to visit the dorm. However, it goes too far to the next apartment and these other guys are shocked each time it flips over to them, loaded with beer!

The last scene shows them kneeling, worshiping the mysterious fridge.

[Seebs]

He has it.

[bgforever]

MVP is.............Parker.

[Slobberknocker]

That's not a good reason for stiffing Cowher.

I agree with you completely. I'm just saying that he looked completely disgusted. He probably regrets it already.

[RedskinRyan]

c'mon now, denver should have taught him how to be a loser with grace

[bgforever]

H Ward got it, cool, I thought it was Parker. Yet I can't argue with that at all. :Peace:

[Seebs]

Nice present for teh MVP!

[RedskinRyan]

i guess bettis just unofficially retired

[Slobberknocker]

Nice present for teh MVP!

Get to bed, man. You hung in there like a trooper. You must be exhausted!

[Seebs]

Get to bed, man. You hung in there like a trooper. You must be exhausted!

Thanks for worrying! I'mgoing right now!
Good night to everyone.

[RedskinRyan]

Thanks for worrying! I'mgoing right now!
Good night to everyone.

au revoir

[Axegrinder]

The MVP should have been the ZEBRAS.
Once again they took a good game and tainted it.
The NFL has a real problem here.

[Slobberknocker]

Pittsburgh deserved to win this game, but I really thought it would turn out more of a battle. I'm mad. I wanted some FOOTBALL. Bring on the offseason, I guess.

[RedskinRyan]

did they already announce the MVP?

[akhhorus]

I hope Holmgren has a good excuse for stiffing Cowher.

I think he had to be attended to by the paramedics for choking. What a terrible job by Holmgren tonight. Congrats to the Steelers. I've never met an annoying steelers fan and they played a good game.

[Slobberknocker]

I completely agree. If this is the BEST it gets, that's pretty sad. I wonder if things would have turned out differently, and that's a HORRIBLE note to go out on.

Let the players decide the outcome...

[HAWGZHEAD]

Congrats to Jerome Bettis on getting a ring and one hell of a career.

[RedskinRyan]

well seeing as to how the year went, this prolly was the best cast of refs.

[akhhorus]

If you're talking about the Big Ben TD, the ball did hit the line and thats all that's needed. The calls were even and fair. The Offensive interference call was right, they will call that every time if you do it right in front of an official.

[akhhorus]

did they already announce the MVP?

Hines Ward. He deserves it.

[HAWGZHEAD]

If you're talking about the Big Ben TD, the ball did hit the line and thats all that's needed. The calls were even and fair. The Offensive interference call was right, they will call that every time if you do it right in front of an official.I agree on both counts. The ball nipped the plain and there wasn't even any need for Jackson to put his hands on the defender.

[Slobberknocker]

I think he had to be attended to by the paramedics for choking. What a terrible job by Holmgren tonight.

That's hysterical. Seattle really seemed to have a fighting chance, but then they did everything possible to lose.

It really takes the gas out of the Super Bowl.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Hines Ward. He deserves it.I woul have given it to Rothleisberger. He had some crappy stats but he ran for a few huge first downs and got the rushing TD.

[Axegrinder]

I disagree completely.
This game was called one sided...especially on big plays.
They should have stayed out of it.

[akhhorus]

I agree on both counts. The ball nipped the plain and there wasn't even any need for Jackson to put his hands on the defender.

he clearly pushed him. Randy Moss used to get away with that all the time, but they decided to crack down on it. If you do it 20 yards away from an official, they won't call it. But when you do it 4 feet, right in front of one, they'll call it everytime. The Hawks need to look at all their drops and the terrible clock management if they want to blame anything. Or the terrible pass that Hasselback threw in the red zone.

[RedskinRyan]

I woul have given it to Rothleisberger. He had some crappy stats but he ran for a few huge first downs and got the rushing TD.

yeah, its a bit odd that his legs helped to win the game more than his arm.

[RedskinRyan]

how coudl you not be happy for jerome to have a ring if you dont have affiliation with seattle?

[akhhorus]

I disagree completely.
This game was called one sided...especially on big plays.
They should have stayed out of it.

When an OLineman wraps his arm around a LB's neck, they'll call that as holding. When an OT pulls down a LB by his jersey, they'll call that too. If the Hawks couldn't get big plays without holding, thats their fault. I thought the officiating was fair.
