story of the year!!! officiating??

[knucklecup]

I won my second half bet on Arizona, I'm not being bitter about the outcome of last nights game. Sure, it would have been nice to see the Cardinals win the Super Bowl but I really couldn't care less either way.

What I do care about, is in the future: I don't want my Patriots to lose when they shouldn't, I don't want to lose money when I shouldn't, etc.

This is how I felt watching last nights game, I nor anybody watching the game should feel the same way and looking around the internet, people aren't talking about the dramatic finish, they're talking about the horrible officiating:

 

[knucklecup]

I would rank sports that truly decide a true champion in this order:

1)Golf (Four Rounds 72 holes plus no officiating)
2)Tennis (with the new replay system this sport has jumped to second)
3)Baseball
4)Basketball (too much politics in comparison to baseball IMHO)
5)Football
6)Soccer (one game to decide the world cup? Plus officiating is very sketchy)
7)Boxing (scandals galore)


I don't watch enough hockey in order to rank it. Would be unfair to post something I know little about.

That list makes sense; out of the four major sports, baseball best decides the Champion while football is the worst (by far and away).

speaking of officiating I have been getting killed in college bball because of ghost foul's and bullsh*t calls all year

 

[thinkmcflythink]

yeah harrison was flagged that is what pinned them half the distance of half the distance

Personal foul call or not, he should have been ejected.

Also, Holmes should have been penalized 15 yards for using the football as a prop.

Moral of the story: the officiating was downright bad and the games outcome was effected because of it.

No penalty on this play on Harrison's punk ass.

Nuff' said - the officiating was horrendous and the Steelers are Super Bowl Champions because of it.

Good job, knuklecup ! NFL should do it's job on this crazy idiot and
warn officiating. There is nothing funny here. Nothing for Steelers
coach to be very proud of.

I'm tired of seeing players blatently push or pull their fellow teammates over the goalline or first down marker and never getting penalized. The NFL should either enforce the rule or eliminate it.

First off like to clarify that my post was directed to the general public and no one in particular.

knucklecup the NFL are subjectively called games and hoping for better things to come is not looking really promising. The NFL has a long history in tainting games and I truly don't see that changing. Penalites like holding, pass interference, etc. as previously stated are very subjetive calls and then you have penalties missed. Its a game were offensive lineman, WR, etc. are actually educated, taught to get away with things. The NFL IMHO is the most overrated sport in our country I just so happen to be very good at handicapping it so I have no other choice than to make a profit out of it. Like I said in previous post 20% of the games I watched this season at the very least were in fact tainted due to poor officating. The NFL braintrust simply have done a very good job at disguising this (unless we have incident like yesterday in a Super Bowl. Does anybody still talk about Seattle getting hosed a few years back? Not that much) and packaging the product in a favorable way.

Since when was Mixed Martial Arts allowed on the field of play?

Are you blind. The flag gets thrown right behind them. Lots of punk ass crying here today.

Santonio Holmes using the football as a prop.

Either enforce it in all games or get rid of it entirely.

I can think of 3-4 different situations during games that I watched where a team was penalized for obsessive celebration, most notably, using the ball as a prop.

Suddenly, in the grand daddy of them all, they're not going to call it?

Nail, noggin.

You can't determine who the best football team is by playing 20 games.

It's been my knock on football my entire life.
