Everything doesn't have to be about controversy. Steeler won those two Super Bowls fair and square. Last years I don't even know how it can be questioned.

You wish everything to be clear cut like when UNLV beat the living shit out Duke in the National Championship in 1990? What about the next year when Duke barely beat UNLV in the semifinals. Just because it was close does not taint it. It was close because both teams were great teams and the best team, that day, won.

Now I will give you one award this year where the player got hosed and that is NL Gold Glove at 3b. Kevin Kouzmanoff set the record for highest fielding percentage of any 3b in the HISTORY on MLB and lost to Ryan Zimmerman. The Hall of Fame asked for his glove at the end of the year for his achievement yet he can't even win the award. His mediocre offensive performance did him in, but gold gloves are a defensive only award.


Just because you think that doesn't make it so. Did you actually watch the games?


I would love to know how the Steelers stole the game last year?

While I agree the Seattle game was a joke, I stand by the premise that the Scoreboard never lies.

Both games. Every play. One borderline pass interference penalty does not win or lose a game in the first half. These kind of calls happen in every game. Just like we disagree on this, different referees see things from different angles and different opinions. Very few games are decided by referees and even less where the refs made a wrong call. Ed Hochuli is a great official and really made a bad call in Denver last year. That is about all the only pro game last year or this year I can think of and I watch a lot of games.
