I will second that 100 % ~ Almost don't watch football because of it now. They blow so many calls it makes you wonder who is getting paid off. I mean c'mon now that interception run back for a TD was the worst. There was the biggest hold in plain view i have ever seen but nobody mentioned it ? Then the 2 bad ruffing the kicker and bumping into Big Baby Ben calls.. What a freaking joke. If I was a Pitts fan I would not even feel good about this win.

It was a really good game. Thought they where going to walk away with it at first but the Card's came back with some great plays. I am a Buc's fan but was going for the under dogs. I will give you the win Congrats. 6 that does deserve something.

Great superbowl. I am a packer fan, so really did not care. However, I agree with the guy who said the refs should have their name on the trophy with the steelers - the Cards got a LOT of bad calls. The steelers got overlooked. There was a clear clip on the runback at the end of the first half that was not called.
However, both teams played great - a really good game. Hard to beat last year, but it came close.

The Steelers need the refs....the refs let them win.....waaa waa waa waa !
What about Fitgerald's td catch? That was not a td because he did not have control of the ball when he hit the turf....but refs missed it......what about Fitgerald going 2 yards out of bounds and back in again to tackle Harrison after his interception? Nothing called. You whiners need to get over the fact that your team just isn't as good, period.

Except for last years.
...and I'm a Steelers fan thru and thru since the 70's, so this isn't going to hold much water, but I have yet to read posts after a Superbowl, Championship Series or whatever when the supporters of the losing team weren't bitching about the refs, umpires or whomever (I've posted some of those myself.) There's blown/missed calls on both sides of the ball in every game. In the end, it's all about who's name is on the trophy.
