You have got to be kidding me, a fair game!  No wonder everyone watches the Super Bowl for the commercials only! The games are fixed, that's obvious.  It would be nice if the NFL would take the Super Bowl seriously and hire people with ethics. NFL ref’s — WHAT A JOKE!

It's pretty obvious it was fixed, even to novice football watchers.<br>    I've enjoyed NFL football and Superbowls for 26 years. I love this sport.The officiating at Superbowl 40 was a travesty.If the Seahawks lose or win, let it happen fair and square. This teaches our children that it's OK to cheat to win at all costs. I will never watch a Superbowl game again. NFL REFS lose credibilty —         When the refs reviewed the Big Ben TD and let the ruling stand, suddenly the game was no longer a contest.
