How about those Steelers?
Yea, yea, they're my favorite team and, of course, I was pulling for them. Now, if you were hoping the Cardinals would win, you may as well move on to another blog.
I was completely blown away by the challenge by the Cardinals coach that reversed the Steelers touchdown call on the field early in the game--unbelievable! I don't think I've ever witnessed such a blatant attempt to change the outcome of a game since the Raiders lost to the Patriots, which led to Brady's first Superbowl win--and I hate the Raiders!
Then, they make another game-changing call in the end zone in the 4th quarter, effectively giving the Cardinals two points and another opportunity to score. At that point, it sure looked like the Cinderella victory that big money and the NFL wanted.
Come on! I was vowing to forever call it quits on the NFL as the Steelers defiantly marched down the field and scored a touchdown that made the Dwight Clark 49'r "catch" look like a high school stage play.
I'd say "what a game" but it should have been a Steelers blow-out.
I heard someone say Sunday before the game that they were pulling for the Cardinals because the team was family-owned and operated. Not sure how people get so misinformed about things.
The truth is, the Steelers have always been owned and operated by the Rooney family of Pittsburg. Not only are the Steelers more family-own and operated than most other NFL teams, they have a long and well regarded history of developing some of the best players in the league out of draftees and free agents that the other teams don't even look at. In my opinion, that's a great team!
That said, I still wouldn't pay the price of a ticket or the cost of a beer or hot dog at any football or baseball game--Come on!
I know, no political comments...I'm still giving our new President the benefit of the doubt. However, this so called "Stimulus Plan" looks like a deviant punk rock band's appearance rider! I'm waiting to learn about the Teakwood interior upgrades to Nancy Pelosi's Air Force jet that we're all paying dearly for.
My God, "We the people," please wake up!

Dude,
ReplyDeleteWhat are you smoking? The challenges are made because someone believed the referees made a mistake and either didn't catch something or did but called it wrong. It gives them another chance to review the play from several angles and get the call right for a change.
Go Cardinals!

PS. I still think the Raiders beat the Patriots in that playoff game. I remember where I was and what I was doing with I saw that call and I stood there in disbelief for 30 mintues. The Patriots have sucked, in my book, ever since.
