My thoughts exactly Warbler. The Steelers did play a good, clean game (this game wasn't particularly great on the whole) and sportsmanlike conduct was shown throughout by the players on both sides. I took special note of how good the players were to each other, even after some scrappy plays that could've sent them fighting. The players really showed great conduct on both sides. Which made Holmgren's action just objectionable. And Cowher had this incredulous, hurt look on his face that was quite justified.

It seems all the sports writers are dinging the refs for the bad calls, but none of them are howling for blood. That's regrettable. I think the officials should be dragged out on the carpet for last night's game. This ain't high school ball, it's the Super Bowl. You can't blow any call, let alone six of them.
