Ref Admits Steelers Got Gift Super Bowl
-
I will always believe in the football gods. You can see it happening in Denver right now. When a team or player does things the wrong way, they get bitten. Pittsburgh has been skating along for a while now and with Big Ben and his hungry hands, the karma is about to get flipped around. That entire playoff run for them that year was handed to them by the stripes.
God, I hate Pittsburgh!

Quite the opposite but it's not worth discussing. The most notable and one that was already brought up in this thread. The polamalu interception against the Colts which was over turned and a fair number of other heinously blown calls. The "crying game" in Cleveland is all a part of coping with mediocrity. I get it but it's also getting old and carries very little weight. Yet most still parade it around like it's gospel. You say it so much you actually start believing it and last I checked repeating the same behavior without yielding different results is the definition of insanity. Should we diagnose the Cleveland fan base medically insane?

NFL ref admits mistakes in Super Bowl
RENTON, Wash. -- NFL referee Bill Leavy acknowleded he made mistakes in the Seattle Seahawks' 2006 Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The veteran official began an annual rules interpretation session with the Seattle media on Friday by bringing up the subject without being asked.
Leavy says he "kicked two calls in the fourth quarter" and "impacted the game, and as an official you never want to do that."
The veteran official of 15 NFL seasons says the game "left me with a lot of sleepless nights" and that "I'll go to my grave wishing that I'd been better."
This week is the first time since that game that Leavy has been in Seattle with the Seahawks.

There were terrible calls that went both ways that game. TERRIBLE calls and plenty of TERRIBLE calls leading up to the Super Bowl. Get over it, bad calls happen and the better team always wins. Period. I sure as sh.it don't lose sleep at night over Super Bowl XL and the "lowly Steelers" returned two Super Bowls later for another one. If the game were reversed and the Steelers lost everyone would be talking about the calls that impacted the game the other way around. The end. Old news and funny this is being brought up in the midst of Browns training camp. Don't you have anything better to talk about? I just hope everyone is ready to get murdered week 6. It should put quite a bit to rest and I can't wait.

Lol what? Rationalize this post for me or are you really this Retarded? Pittsburgh also finished 10-6 but were first in the division that year and lost to the Jags in the Wild card. Where exactly does the Browns record in 07 have any bearing on A. His comment. B. The Steelers record this past season?
Are you sure you aren't autistic?

Again, though, "bad calls" doesn't mean "fixed game."...
Give me some evidence other than "It really makes you wonder...," and I'll be happy to re-consider my opinion....
That game was fixed. I taped it and watched the whole thing a number of times in the weeks and months of the aftermath later. Some plays & sequences over and over and in slow motion to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. "Two bad calls" in the 4th quarter doesn't even begin to describe the officiating bias in that game. In addition to the big, glaring bad calls, there were a multitude of little things like bad ball spots for the Seahawks and uncalled penalties on the Steelers, etc. all game long that most people don't notice or talk about now. Cumulatively, it can be seen that the Seahawks simply were not to be allowed to win that game. The Steelers were to be given such a huge compettive advantage in the officiating department, that it would be next to impossible for the Seahawks (or any other NFL team for that matter) to overcome. I lost an enormous amount of respect for the NFL that day. Not just as a Seahawks fan, but as a football fan in general.

I also have that game on DVD....Remember Stevens fumbled that was ruled imcomplete?
If you are giving the ref credibility that he admitted he made two wrong calls in just the 4th, then you are giving him credibility that since he didn't regret calls in the first 3 quarters they were all the correct calls....You can't have it both ways.

Sure he can ...he is Bitter. Cant see a Freaking thing past the GREEN Light that continually Flashes in his dome while watching Pittsburgh Steelers Football. Bitter Fruit ...sour Grape...

Ohh squeeler fans.. they always brighten my day.

Most sensible Steeler fans that I know realized that their team received quite a few gifts in that game and that it most definitely helped determine the outcome of the game. It doesn't make the Steelers any less deserving IMO. It is part of the game. Bad calls happen. They just happened a lot in that SB and the vast majority went the Steelers' way.

two words to dispel the "it takes a whole country to or there must be a huge conspiracy" to change the outcome of games: TIM DONAGHY.

The calls went both ways that game. I can't tell you how many times I've been through this same song and dance in the past and quite frankly I'm tired of arguing about it. I broke the entire game down at one point and poor calls certainly hit both teams. One fact remains in my opinion and that's if the outcome was in some way reversed. Everyone would be bitching about the missed calls in the Steelers favor and not the other way around. The bottom line is the better team won that game and over came A LOT of poor calls leading up to the Super Bowl. What goes around comes around. Levy should be ashamed of himself for bringing it up this far gone. If he had such a issue with his calls he should have brought it up immediately and made it known he felt he made a few mistakes. I guess with the Steelers off season he figured he should just take the opportunity to pile it on and rid himself of some guilt.

Will the Stoolers EVER win an honest championship? They have yet to do so after a century, so it doesn't look likely.

How do you explain that every other fan out there plus the ref in the game saying that Seattle got hosed? Even a few Steeler fans that I know realized that they benefited from poor officiating.

Now those are sour grapes. Seattle fans have a beef, Arizona fans do not. All of those plays were borderline at best. If that is the best evidence that a Cardinal fan can come up with then they really don't have a leg to stand on.

the last one was a clear forward pass. lets not forget the non-ejection of Roid Harrison. Plus they were stull using HGH then.
