I really believe the NFL is as fake as the WWE

And I just laughed my ass off at that last play call by Pete Carroll. Jr. High coaches would not call that play. Funny

1. The Patriots

didn't win this game; the Seahawks lost. They literally had the game in their hands twice with a 10-point lead and being on the verge of scoring the game-winner, and they gave it up both times. That was just too stupid. I can't help but wonder a little myself if somebody got paid off.

2. Pete Carroll was the MVP.

Like an Onion article...

3. The Seahawks also had some breaks fall their way

Like that unbelievable juggling act that put them at the goal line.

And two gawd awful intercepts for Tom Brady.

4. Well, if the refs had ejected #21 for punching that guy in the gut

then he wouldn't have been there to intercept on the hawks stuuupid pass call.

5. True. Somebody else would have been there to intercept on the hawks stuuupid pass call. nt

7. That's what losers say when they want to be ungracious in defeat. Man up.

8. I'm not a fan of either team.

It didn't matter much to me who won, but I was just slightly pulling for Seattle since they have less titles, and since Marshawn is from my hometown.

6. That's really an unsupportable "belief." Sorry.

9. sigh...

Coaches call controversial plays all the time.

When they work, they're "fantastic"..."brilliant"..."genius"


When they don't work, they're "stupid".


Same play, different results. That's all.

11. You do realize that there are certain "rules" that you follow, right?

You never play man coverage inside the 10 - always zone.

There was ONE thing Seattle could not do yesterday, and that was throw an INT. You can run up the middle, you can try a fade route out the corner of the endzone, you can play action, you CANNOT throw underneath in the middle where the LB were stacked.

To put this in another way,

This play was like splitting kings when the dealer is showing a six in BlackJack.

It is unheard of.

12. And no one EVERY violates those rules

Listening to Carroll afterwards, it was obvious they were obsessed with the clock, and worried about giving Brady time to get a field goal. They screwed up, and someone called a dumb play. They had a TO. They had to get a TD. Run once, call TO. Pass next, stop the clock. Run the last play and hope they get the TD. They called a pass because they wanted to stop the clock. They were presuming they wouldn't get the TD but it would give them a chance to set up the run.

They forgot Woody Hayes rule. With a forward pass there are three things that can happen, and two of them are bad.

10. Awful play call.

Great play by Butler to sense it was a pass play and to come up with that INT.

Thrilling Super Bowl.
