    Funny how they called that one, which was clearly going forward a fumble... and the one in the 2nd quarter, where his arm was not going forward was ruled a pass... ive never liked that rule.. too subjective

    I must not know the rules because that looked like a forward pass to me.

    probably didn't matter, but I agree that it looked like it was going forward, and BY RULE, I thought they would call it incomplete.

    Next football game (not counting Pro Bowl): Hall of Fame game with the Titans wearing Oilers throwbacks.

    The NFL has been lacking in its quality control, but at least it is not as bad as the NBA....where it is obvious and biased.

    Wow.

    I put down a 5 dollar throw away wager on Larry Fitzgerald ending up with between 121-130 yards receiving.

    He finished with 127.

    I didn't want James Harrison to win the game he acted like a punk all game long including that cheap shot on the punt return. He's a hell of a player but he's a punk too. Chris Paul of the NFL

    they didn't even mention the play wasn't reviewed. that was unbelievable. terrible officiating. they will talk about that until the end of time in Phoenix. And the refs should be fired for not reviewing it.

    Kurt Warner has always given his team a chance to win. He is a cool customer. The Cards defense sucks bad.

    27-23 Steelers. Not bad. Not bad at all. I was off by two. TWO POINTS.
    I got the coin flip right.

    And waiting to hear from the Games MVP.

    Al Michaels said that they took a look at it upstairs, but I think that was lip service. Way too quick to have looked at it, imo.

    Well, every play is reviewed in the booth and they did mention that the booth didn't initiate a official review so they must have thought it was a fumble. But that's stupid. That was too close to just let it go without taking an actual hard look at it.
