Lousy Super Bowl

Not much going on in M's news, as we all wait for pitchers and catchers to report. But for Seattle sports fan, we all have opinions on the Super Bowl.

It's clear the 'hawks blew it. They had so many chances to put the game away early. Holmgren and Hasselbeck simply cannot manage a clock. Stevens' dropped passes. Injuries to key players.

We could go on and on about all the missed opportunities. And of course the big white elephant in the room is the officiating.

As Seattle fans, any complaints we have about the officiating comes across as sour grapes. The Seahawks lost. The Seahawks made mistakes. The Steeler fans don't care about the officials. All they care about is their team won. They get to jump around and overturn cars and scream a lot.

But for the true football fan, you have to be dissapointed to see the officials become such a large part of the game. The officiating was TERRIBLE. It is a part of the story, regardless of who won the game.

The Steelers had a great run through the playoffs. Any team that beats the whiney Indianapolis Colts gets my support. They outplayed the Broncos, who I also can't stand. They are a good football team.

But can they beat the Seahawks in a game with neutral officials?

We'll never know.
