Diebold Refs

I may not be an expert on football, but watching the Super Bowl at my brother’s house seemed to – most of all – have been a potentially great (i.e. close and exciting) game marred by horrible officiating. He is an expert in football, and he was apoplectic.

The Steeler’s first touchdown – questionable. The Seahawk’s first touchdown called back for pass interference – not questionable, but a bit of a BS call. The Seahawk’s second touchdown called back for holding – where? – a horrible call. The Seahawk’s QB called for clipping when he was really tackling – bad call. We agreed that if the Seahawk’s QB’s loss of the ball in the 4th quarter (it popped out when he hit the ground on a run) was called a fumble, we’d turn off the game. Fortunately, the call was reversed on review.

Annoying, at best.
