Did you all watch the Super Bowl?

I was struck by the fact that the entire game was decided by the calls of the officials, pro and con, this way and that. Over 100 yards in penalties, many at crucial moments.

I guess figure skating is not the only sport where the "callers" rule.

all sports have someone calling the shots... whether they're judged or not.

didn't watch anything until the last 7 or so minutes... just long enough to see Arizona get the touch down and then lose the game...

not that I cared one way or the other, but it was pretty boring.

The amount of penalties called was just astounding. Arizona in particular had so many opportunities and just blew it by unnecessary holds.

This game, I thought, actually dragged on for the most part of it, but I swear, the last 7 or 8 minutes was something. Anyway, glad I tuned back in when I did. This is probably the first SB in at least six years that I have NOT watched in its entirety.

I haven't watched an SB all the way through since I don't know when... I think the only ones I watched from beginning to end were when the 49ers were in them... (I missed their win in 85 by a day, but I tried to make it!)

I was glad there was "I Love Lucy" on Hallmark all day.
I never watch football or any other sports besides skating.

My friend and I often comment the officials should be saying"THIS TIME we decided to call holding." Due to the fact they could call it every play.:yes:
