The Fix was in at the Superbowl

After watching the Rams get trounced 3 or 4 years back, I had an ephiny. The Officiating in the Superbowl at least is FIXED.

Now the NFL, Media, Advertisers etc don't care who wins the game. What they do care about is providing a game that is close, exciting, all to entice people to keep watching instead of turning on something more enlightening like Gilligans Island. Now how to accomplish this goal, have the Refrees have a BIAS. In other words come down harder on the Team that is most likely to win.

Check out this years Stupid bowl. Seattle was able to move the ball, and was able to contain Pittsburg Offense to a standstill. The ONLY plays Pittsburg made that were successfull were its Speciality plays. If you noticed Seattle was Penalized nearly every time it was moving the ball. The notable calls were the overturned TD by Seattle for Pushing Off in the 1st Quarter. The Pittsburg QB TD where he pulls the ball out from under him and puts it over the goal line after he is down. The 3rd down in the 2nd Quarter where the referee places the ball short of the 1st down by inches for Seattle, when it was obvious that the players forward momentum had given him the 1st down. The 1 Yard Line Seattle pass that was called back. The 4th Quarter blocking play by the Seattle QB that was deememd legal by the announers of the game but penalized. The Holding Call on Pittsburg that was never called but was mentioned by the Announcers of the game

Now I am not telling U boyz t believe anything, but start watching the veracity of the Officiating and see what conclusions you can come up with.
