    Cards won against the Steelers, lost against the referees.

    Great game, but I'm a sore loser. Always next year.

    Hey guys, I missed the game. Did someone run whilst holding a ball (football)?

    Halfway through the game they replaced the football with a spoon and egg.

    That would explain some of those calls, though.

    Hahah there were some major calls there. I loved how in the 4th q the Cards were like "Yeah smurf it we were only kidding until now" and completely rapetrained, but sadly it wasn't enough because yeah lol. Refs.

    Mike Holmgren and the Seahawks nation feels your pain on that one. What the hell was that roughing the passer call, for example? Gee, sorry I was chasing a scrambling QB, went for the tackle, and didn't actually hit him until after he threw it.

    It was an amazing game. I can't believe nobody tackled James Harrison on that runback, though.

    That was definitely an incomplete pass, and it's pretty pathetic that the upstairs didn't at least call for a review. They had plenty of time to do so, what with the celebrating and Pittsburgh having to get their offense onto the field.

    Indeed. This has been a great game. I wonder when the last 10 seconds are gonna get played.

    And yeah, they'd only have 10 seconds to go 44 yards. But I wouldn't put it past the Cards to do it. It's too bad it had to have ended like that.

    Really a scar on what was a thoroughly good and entertaining game.

    It's not often that the Super Bowl was the best football game I see all season but that was a great one. Two teams you wouldn't expect to put on a great match certainly delivered. Also my dad won $250 on his football pool too because of that safety.

    I thought it was a great game, that interception return was crazy and the winning touchdown was worthy of winning any game. I feel sorry for Arizona but I feel that Pittsburgh shaded it and just about deserved the win.

    Two great Superbowls in a row, good stuff

    I went to a superbowl party and didn't know what team was what or even who they were, so I picked the team with the happier color My happy yellow team won. GO TEAM YELLOW!

    There was an Australian punting for the Cardinals, therefore I chose the Cardinals. I thoroughly blame the referees for the loss, even though I have less than a basic understanding of the rules. However, I referee other sports, and know that we're always wrong

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    The refs weren't that bad, actually. The failure to review the last play is not the fault of the officials on the field, but the upstairs. Yeah, the refs screwed up another incomplete pass call earlier in the game, but it was fixed. There was a lot of holding penalties and personal fouls, but it was a very physical game. The roughing the passer was an arguably iffy call, but not blatantly terrible (he did shove his arms out instead of just running into the quarterback). I recall one defensive holding call on an Arizona CB which I thought was bogus, but football refs are always calling iffy things on defensive backs, so eh.

    It's just too bad the upstairs officials decided to call it quits early to beat the traffic home. That non-review was ridiculous.
