Understandably, Seahawks fans are busy blogging (and drinking) while the Steelers fans are busy celebrating and drinking. Here are the early returns:
[ TeknoDave]: At least people now know that Seattle has a football team. It was not our best performance of the year, but we made it to the final showdown … the Super Bowl. *sigh*
[SeattePI]: Doughy in the blog: “Clearly the winner of this super bowl was decided before the teams hit the field. I’ve never seen the likes of this before in 40 years of being a football fan. I guess the marketing opportunities around “The Bus” are just to sexy. Too much money to be made if the He get’s his Super Bowl ring.
[NW Republican]: I don’t want to believe that the officating is crooked, but with all the incredible amounts of money that is bet on these games, and when all the key calls go one way… you can’t help but wonder. One thing I know for certain. All those advertisers paying $3 million a spot have lost me because of bad officiating. If nothing else, the abysmal quality of the officiating in the most-watched NFL game of the year is inexcusable.
[Seahawks fan in Bronco Land]: Well, the Steelers were the better team today. Yes, the refs made a few questionable calls, but the Hawks also just didn’t make the plays when they needed to.
[Korrektiv]: Seahawks 24, Steelers 14. The outcome of the Super Bowl in a parallel universe with good refs.
One reply on “What they’re saying in Seahawks land”
About the petition — I urge every football fan to write a letter and send it via postal mail to to th NFL headquarters. We’re all disgusted with the performance of the officials in Sunday’s “game”, perhaps those of us in Seattle more so, and the urge to lash out is very enticing. But, be respectful,eloquent, and succinct. AN online petition, is easily deleted, dismissed, and ignored. But picture, Paul Tagliabue not being able to sit in his office because of 100,000 letters from disgusted NFL fans Are taking every available space. As a matter of fact, I suggest, that everyone send their letter on the same day so they pretty much arrive at NFLHQ at more or less the same time. I propose Monday Feb, 13th 2006 as the designated “drop in the box” day. Spread the word. By friday, we should have the NFL’s undivided attention.
