“Last year, bad calls cost the Seahawks some games. Holmgren used to get apologies from the League office. This year it also happened, but the Hawks were so good they won despite the bad officiating. Until last night. Last night. Professional football players, who work their asses off to get there, didn’t get to win the Super Bowl. Nope. It was fat middle aged mostly white guys in striped shirts. Making bad calls in the whipcrack speed of real time and then refusing to overturn them even when multiple millions of TV viewers can readily see the correct call during slow motion replays. Fat old guys. Unreal.”
