    He is a fellow Audio buff that I had the pleasure to meet a couple of years ago. We've had some very good listening sessions together at each other's place, even though we live two hours apart. A very cool guy that enjoys good music and good sound. And yes, a GREAT friend indeed.

    Both of my wife's favorite teams lost today.

    That sucked big time.

    I saw the refs didn't want to call a single holding penalty in either game. Well one holding call was made.

    Another BLATENT roughing the quarterback penalty wasn't called. :o I'm really wondering wth is going on behind closed doors the past 5 or more years.

    I just happened to read a couple stats about the refs and the teams that were going to be officiating these two games. What I read is what happened. These games were going to be a free for all. And they were. >:)

    What's the use in having rules anymore? Just like our Gov.. No rules anymore. :s

    It was a good game. Not the outcome I was hoping for. But 50 cent looks like he needs to borrow a quarter.

    My throat and lungs are very sore today. :s

    I yelled so many wtf's at the top of my lungs after the Bengals scored that one pass play for 75 yards TD AFTER seeing the replay. I thought the Ram's defender tripped on his own.

    NOOOOO!

    "Offensive interference" by FACE MASK that allowed that receiver to be free to catch that pass.

    OK, so JUST MAYBE the official didn't see it (in the super bowl? I'm not that stupid.) and since it was a touchdown play, isn't every touchdown play automatically reviewed upstairs/in New York?

    AND the Ram's coach didn't throw a challenge flag?
    Ok, I thought all the Ram's coaches would tell their guys to do whatever they wanted to, ANYTHING. But I didn't see that take place.

    Even my wife said, no flags throughout the whole game and now in the final 4 minutes or less, the flags were flyin'. What a joke this was. It happened in the playoffs AND regular games this year too. I saw in previous years way too many times holding penalty's not being called that easily would've changed the momentum of the games.

    I guess it's just entertainment like the tickets say.

    "What city needs to win so they can sell more merchandise?" PLAN.

    I coined the initials FNFL last night.

    I'll never, ever forget that play I mentioned above and the "in our face corruption" that's going on in these games.

    That's all I got to say about that. :|

  • ^^ and then there was the pass interference call against the Bengals with the Rams on 8 yard line. No way was that interference. Just the refs way of making up for the no face mask

    It’s a non-reviewable call* so there can’t be a challenge.
