Steelers win a controversial Super Bowl

Ooops! I forgot to mention the biggest sporting event of this time of year: The Super Bowl.

In what people are calling "the least interesting and exciting game ever," the Pittsburg Steelers took the game over the Seattle Seahawks...

...but not without controversy.

Apparently there were calls that left things in favor of the Steelers and potentially won the game for them. Will anything be done about it? Likely not. But what's the Super Bowl without some crisis?

Heh heh! I guess many people equate a low scoring game as boring--proof of the increasingly dwindling attention spans of American viewers. Honestly, there was one single call where Ben Rothelsberger had an iffy touchdown, though instant replays would prove it was clearly valid (and call me biassed as a Steeler fan but it was shown over and over again as clearly a touchdown). And even without the controversial touchdown Pittsburgh still would have won the game. Really, Officiating has never been a hundred percent in any game I've ever seen and you could debate calls on either side. Like you said,what is a game without some stir-up? personally, I thought it was pretty exciting myself, especially with both teams getting record high runs in yardage and the AMAZING trick play from Pittsburgh that would seal the deal. And Pittsburgh was the lowest wildcard team in playoff history to crawl from the bottom and win, by a larger-than-average margin to boot! Sorry to rant here Bobby, but what else to folks want?
