Did anyone catch the superbowl yesterday? I sure did and despite the high drama and it being entertaining, I was disapointed. Here is why I am disapointed in the game. Mainly, the officiating was HORRIBLE. I just cant believe how badly the referees blew the game. I can list 3 or 4 plays off the top of my head that were bad calls and its obvious and blatant that the Referees were in favor of the Steelers. Just like the referees handed Superbowl XL on a silver platter to the Steelers the referees should be ashamed of themselves.

For example, Why wasnt James Harrison ejected from the game in the 3rd quarter? If you have it recorded, sometime in the 3rd quarter the camera rolls to harrison and he can be seen clearly roughing a Cardinal. Sure, Football is a rough sport but he went above and beyond and should have been ejected. He was openly hitting him an not letting him get back up. Also, What about the bogus Roughing the passer call that was called against the cardinals in the 3rd quarter? That was a horrible call.

What makes me the maddest though is the last play of the game. Kurt Warner was clearly throwing the ball and can be seen on instant replay, What I cant understand is why it wasnt reviewed from the booth. Even if there was 10 seconds left in the game there is still a chance Warner could have thrown a game winning Touchdown. Overall, the Cardinals had this one stolen from them just like the Seahawks had that superbowl stolen from them as well. This bogus game gives me even more reason to hate the Steelers.

I really appriciated, and would like to share a portion of what Jason Whitlock wrote in his latest article on foxsports.com

No one influenced the greatest Super Bowl in history more than McAulay and his crew of black-and-gold-wearing, I mean, black-and-white-wearing officials.

For the Cardinals, it was 11-on-17 for much of the evening. Had Bobby Knight been patrolling the Arizona sidelines rather than Ken Whisenhunt, the basketball coaching legend would’ve gotten teed up in the first quarter and ejected for tossing a chair by the time McAulay flagged Karlos Dansby for roughing Big Ben in the third quarter.

I admit the Cardinals were sloppy, and leaving Gandy one-on-one with the league’s most valuable defensive player was a gigantic strategic error. Harrison drew three holding penalties on I-69, the Arizona superhighway to Kurt Warner Drive.

But the 11-7 penalty disparity was actually much worse when you consider McAulay and Co. turned flag-happy in the fourth quarter, dropping six yellow ones on the Steelers (Arizona declined one) to close the gap.

And let’s also keep in mind it wasn’t just the 106 penalty yards marked against the Cardinals. The eye in the sky caught McAulay’s crew favoring Pittsburgh twice, overturning two bad calls after replay review.

And then there were the things the refs didn’t call. Big Ben got away with an obvious intentional grounding. On the series after the refs handed Pittsburgh a 16-play, clock-killing third-quarter drive with a bogus roughing-the-passer call and a should-have-been-ignored roughing-the-holder penalty, McAulay ignored Harrison’s brutal (and late) head shot on Kurt Warner. Holmes could’ve been penalized for his theatrical end-zone celebration. And Warner’s fumble should’ve been thoroughly reviewed. Pittsburgh’s last two championships have been hand-delivered by overzealous officiating crews.
