Screw Yahoo's "blogger"

I normally go with the idea that one shouldn't write when angry, but this tool ticks me off.

I am tired of hearing about the officiating in Super Bowl 40. it's over - the Steelers won, get over it. That goes for you too, Mike Holmgren (aka Walrus).

Now there are jerks like this putz (Chris Chase) moaning about the officiating in Sunday's just-ended Super Bowl:

* "officiating controversy threatens to overshadow the stellar play on the field."

Ridiculous. The game was fantastic and the officiating doesn't overshadow anything.

* "Frankly, it's remarkable that there was no booth challenge to review the play. It was certainly close enough to warrant a look from upstairs. In all probability, the call on the field would have been confirmed. But why not appease the masses and nip any talk of controversy in the bud?"

It's not remarkable at all. I'm quite sure that the guys in the booth looked at the play a number of times after it occurred and determined that it was a fumble and there was no need to review the play. To "appease the masses"? What the hell is that? "nip any talk of controversy in the bud" ? I suppose he thinks the NFL is covering something up? This guy's been reading too much Dan Brown.

* "disparity in penalties (106 yards for the Cardinals against just 56 for the Steelers)"

What disparity? 106-56 is not really all that unequal. And, quite frankly, I saw about 110 holds committed by the Cards O-line that were not called.

* "a preposterous roughing the passer penalty on a play that wouldn't have been uncommon in touch football"

A preposterous attempt to write an article. Please, somebody take this guy's keyboard away before he drops his wittle baby bottle on it.

Don't try to stir up controversy where there is none. The officials called a tight game, and they nailed the Steelers as well. They took away a touchdown, after all. Oh, wait - they got that call right, didn't they?

Chris Chase, please do me a favor - stop writing. There's enough pollution in the environment already.

Rant over. Enjoy the win, Steelers fans.
