Here's what a 40 year NFL fan who is in marketing had to say tonight... <<...Posted by doughy at 2/5/06 7:44 p.m. 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 He gets his Super Bowl ring. The called back touchdown, the touchdown that was, and the Steelers touchdown that wasn't. The phantom holding call when the Seahawks should have had the ball on the one. The fix was in, Pittsburgh has every right to be proud of how they got to the Super Bowl but the game was handed to them. Did they even throw a flag against the Steelers? I don't remember one but I saw lots of holding. Seattle is a backwater to the New York types running the league and it would not do to have the Lombardi trophy going to the Pacific Northwest - not with a marketing bonanza like the Bus on their hands. Before anybody discounts this as the ramblings of a disappointed Hawks fan let me just say I'm in marketing, you go where the money is...and there is a BUS load in this out come. Pathetic...>> blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com
