Congrats Pittsburgh, your wine is on the way…

by on February 5, 2006

Well, Pittsburgh is gonna win the Superbowl. Congrats! So, where do I send the case of wine? (I bet the Pittsburgh bloggers a case of wine and I think they are gonna make me run around campus with a Steelers hat on while waving my Terrible Towel that they gave me).
Everyone else? Here’s your consolation prize: a few more del.icio.us items posted. It’s 4 a.m. here in Switzerland.

Now I start the long travels back to Seattle. I’ll be offline most of the time until Tuesday. Have a good one!

  • YEAH BOIIIII!!!!!!!!!
  • That reverse pass play in the third totally rocked.
  • can I have some wine?
  • Dave
    Speaking as a neutral party - I'm a Buffalo fan - that has GOT to be the absolute worst refereed Super Bowl ever. Seattle got hosed big time.
  • Hey, its true, they got hosed. They still lost.
  • They did lose, but I think that with the calls in this game and several other notable games this season, the NFL loses the trust of its fans.
  • Brad
    Seattle kept it closer than I thought it would be.

    And actually Seattle hosed themselves mostly with dropped passes, mistakes when they had the lead, and little things like a key interception, and giving up a TD on a reverse pass.
  • Christopher Coulter
    Yeah, even factoring in the bad calls, it still was Seattles game to lose, I mean with Willie Parker setting records, and the 43-yard pass to Ward, and Seattle missing field goals. Calls or not it was Steelers game, push clearly on their side. Being a Kings fan, with 2005, sigh, always glad to see anything Seattle lose.

    But booooy did the commercials SUCK, maybe the Burger King and Dinosaur Fed Ex one registered some hits, still too ordinary tho, and some cutesy Bud Lights, but on the whole, major Madison Ave. blankout. Two parties, I hit and zero buzz. Godaddy was horrible.

    Spock doing headache meds to the Trekkie's, yeah, I needed them after that one, and you need them after being cornered in a room with a blabbing Trekkie yabbering on about some new SciFi TV show, that I didn't bother to care about, as a total Molly Ringwald look-a-like, that I knew not, was off in the corner drinking a Blue Martini (which I noted was interesting and odd). Actually it was kinda a blessing, he got jazzed with Spock and I was able to escape. Oh sorry, babbling on myself, like a blogger or something. :)

    "absolute worst refereed Super Bowl ever. Seattle got hosed big time. "
    LOL! Oh, so the refs wanted Pittsburgh to win, eh? You know, that whole overturning Hasselback's fumble, that was totally in Pittsburgh favor. Yeah. Really.

    You want to hear me play the world's tiniest violin?
  • Dave
    Um, I never said the refs wanted Pittsburgh to win. Please take the time to actually read my quote BEFORE misquoting me, okay?

    I said the refs did a poor job. They gave Pittsburgh a touchdown when the ball clearly landed outside of the end zone, and that was after taking away a Seattle touchdown on some mythical pass interference. That alone in the first half. That alone the difference in the score.

    Did the refs decide who won? Absolutely not.

    Did Seattle play a very poor game? Take it from a Buffalo fan - they certainly did.

    Most importanntly, did the refs work the worst refereed Super Bowl game ever? IMHO - yes.

    Pittsburgh won. Seattle lost.
  • Thanks for being a great sport Robert! Your guys gave us a good run and quite a scare.

    Safe travels back from Switzerland.
  • Mel
    Robert, as strange as it sounds, the wine drop point for the Pittsburgh bloggers happens to be in Oklahoma City. Weird I know, but I've agreed to take care of the wine for them.

    The address is .....
  • Don't forget the cheese.
  • ffff
    I never really had any doubt that the Steelers would walk all over your Seahawks :)

    Glad you enjoyed your visit to the Burgh a while back!

    Actually, it was not clear that Roethlisberger did not get into the end zone. If it was clear then the play would have been overturned upon review. And all we saw was the angle the camera had on the end zone. Not exactly the same view the line judge had. Was it close? Sure. Was it clear? Absolutely not. All he had to do was break the plane, even the nose of the ball breaking the FRONT of the goal line is enough for a touchdown. Doesn't matter where the ball LANDS, it only matters if at any time during play it broke the plane. Hell, the ball and Roethlisberger could have LANDED on the 10 yard line at the end of the play. Wouldn't have mattered, as long as he broke the plane.

    Holmgren is to blame. Poor play calling, poor clock management. You have the leading rusher in the NFL and you only run 15 times on first down the whole game?? C'mon.
  • Vintage Seahawks coming out in their full glory. Hey Seahawks: Catch a pass! Play defense! Kick field goals! Oh, you didn't do that.

    Pittsburgh made the offensive and defensive plays when it counted. I'm waiting for my wine :)
