I agree 100% with last 2 paragraphs....I want 30 seconds back of my life for the top section though!

all i know is the nfl loves good stories , and whats a better story than the steelers, being the 6th seed win the super bowl with the 2nd youngest qb in it's history and in detroit where the beloved bus is from and will retire after winning his only championship.


was the game fixed ? who knows but to simply say that there is no way it could have been is being naive. the people who run the nfl are very powerful people. powerful people can do powerful thing without anyone knowing.

Say what you will about this Super Bowl, but I will be GOD DAMNED if the Patriots/Raiders AFC Championship game a few years back wasn't rigged. Not even citing the invention of the tuck rule as evidence, though that is a perfectly good argument. But when the Raiders took a timeout when the Pats didn't have any so that a ground crew could shovel snow for 35 seconds around where the Pats were kicking their field goal, when any snow there at all would have prevented the kick from going in. Not to mention earlier in that drive when Brady clearly did not get out of bounds and they stopped the clock anyway.

And how many people here just knew in their heart that Vanderjagt was going to miss that field goal? I knew he'd miss it, just not by 30 ****ing yards. Vegas and politics rule sports. It was also funny that another Seahawks touchdown would have not only covered the spread, but the over as well. You just have to watch the game like you watch the commercials--it's all a production.
