Yeah and one knee equals 2 feet.

I have a hard time envisioning Pgh as a "small market" when a lot of times, most road games the Steelers play in, including tonight's SB, have a high percentage of Steelers fans.

IF anyone thinks that was a fairly-called game, you need your head examined. Hell I checked the message boards of other teams and the majority of them are calling this game a travesty.

What game were YOU watching?

Wrong.

That's the reason why he got such a good jump on the OT.

Haggans was off-sides on that play, as well as the play AFTER that.

The scary part is that the Steelers are pretty well under the cap. Them adding some talent AND the refs means another Pats-style "dynasty."

He dropped some good passes too. Too bad be proved what Porter said about him being "soft." And there was no holding on that big catch (his real big catch was the TD). At least no worse than any Steelers play that DIDN'T get called. And on that play (and the next), Haggans was so far offsides he was able to smell Hasselbeck's breath before Hasselbeck did.

Where have you been? Madden's been braindead for years. It was blatantly obvious when he kept expressing his surprise that in the Pats-Rams SB, that Brady didn't take a knee and play for OT with almost a minute and half left in the game.

"Spaceball, da flametrowa! Da kids luv dis one!"

Give it to Roethlisberger. He did more to deserve it than Brady did in HIS first SB. And that way, you create another posterboy for the NFL.

Apparently you don't realize that one knee down equals 2 feet down. Okay. Here you go: http://www.officialforum.com/printthread.php?threadid=7189

Here is what I found: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7279844/did/10444290/page/2/ So again as long as DJ had the balls securely in his arms and wasn't bobbling, it was a TD IF his left knee touched the pylon before his right foot touched OOB. And just to clarify, this doesn't mean that the ball could just be touching DJ, he had to have the ball in his arms securely. Again I didn't see the replay enough times to determine if when his left touched the pylon a) he had enough possession to call it a catch or b) his right foot touched OOB first or not.

MO-MEN-TUM!

The key point is hitting the pylon with ANY part of the body before another part touches OOB. The pylon is part of the endzone and once touched, it's a TD. I'll have to go back and see the play (somehow), but if DJ had the ball in his hands and wasn't bobbling it, as long as he touched the pylon first, it's a TD.

He's ALIVE?

I thought he demonstrated possesion clearly, and that his knee hit the pylon before his other foot touched OOB. If so, that's a TD since the pylon is basically like goalline in that once it's even just grazed, it's a TD.

Anyone know what Holmgren was saying to Kolbert just before halftime?

Anyone who is TIVO'ing the game, can you tell me, on the Seahawks' drive right before the half where D-Jack catches the ball near the goalline, does his left knee hit the pylon before his right foot touches OOB?

Any doubt on who the NFL wants to win this game? Unfriggin'believable.

I'd like to personally thank Don Waddell for leaving Ryan Miller off the Olympic hockey team. That way he gets 2 weeks rest, in preparation for a dominating second half of the season.

WRT buying a team/expansion fee, it's called initial investment. The NFL isn't obligated to help an owner buy a team to help him join the NFL, and that's primarily why new owners are left alone to find financing, from what I understand. The idea is that you'll make your money after while and again as has been mentioned, you can sell it to make a profit to someone else. As for revenue-sharing and new stadiums, a lot of owners built new and expensive stadiums to attract high-rollers to buy luxury boxes and such, that they'd get to put in their pockets directly without sharing. However if the proposal that the NFLPA wants is that luxury box revenue should count towards the cap, then these owners who spent money on new stadiums deserve a higher portion of the revenue pie, ideally enough to cover their stradium debts. That only seems fair.

A deal will get done and the Bills will benefit greatly from it. I'm not worried.

Why not have Troy Aikman flip the coin? He's a SB MVP, is retired, and was just elected into the HOF (and that was pretty much a foregone conclusion given the class).
