I hate that Super Bowl so freaking much... I've been called a sore loser because of my anguish for the Patriots after that game, but I honestly don't feel like that is what I am, when it is your team that gets the shaft of the NFL.
Lolol, this is what i posted on facebook before I saw your post.Agreed. It just sucks to be the losing team in a Super Bowl that feels "tainted" because we never got the full story on the specifics of Spygate and those tapes. If there was nothing to hide, then why destroy the tapes before showing them to the public?
Every year this subject comes up ... and the outrage I felt--as that FG went through the uprights AND the last 2 seconds were allowed to tick off, even though the ball had already past through the uprights--comes back again. It was at that moment I realized how much assistance the Patriots had been given in that game, from the non-call intentional grounding on that FG drive, to the unavoidable fact that zero personal foul calls were made in the entire game. Think about what that implies. Bernie Kukar, the head zebra for that game, didn't protect Warner at all. Didn't protect any of the Rams that day, and the Patriot defense was on a mission to punish the offense.
And you know what? Roger Goodell was on Tagliabue's staff. Makes one wonder just what was on the Spygate tape. Did the Patriots offer up some truly damning evidence, daring Goodell to make it public when they knew he'd have no choice but to destroy it?
Anyone notice Warner's slip of the tongue? When he talked about the Patriot's efforts to slow down the GSOT, he used the words, "held us." :heh:

Not so much that game as the way the Pats mugged Marvin Harrison but yeah I think there is a good chance we see Richard Sherman finally get called for SOME of the clearly illegal shizzle he thrives on.well..that game lead to todays rules changes and why I think the Colts torch the Seahawks.....I mean Broncos LOL
I would pay big money to have a private conversation about that game with Mike. I really hope I run into him someday.I heard Martz say just last year, that there were things about that game that were really creepy. Things that he would have to talk about off camera. So he knew it was fixed. And everyone blamed Martz for getting paranoid after that game, and closing the practices to the public. Maybe he just didn't want the other teams taping us and knowing our plays again?

The NFL announced Thursday that Bernie Kukar will referee Super Bowl XXXVI Sunday, the second time in four years he has worked the league's title game.
Kukar was referee of Super Bowl XXXIII in Miami, where the Denver Broncos defeated the Atlanta Falcons. Kukar has also worked three conference championship games.
The rest of the Super Bowl crew will be made up of umpire Jeff Rice, head linesman Mark Hittner, line judge Ron Phares, field judge Pete Morelli, side judge Laird Hayes and back judge Scott Green. Among that group, the only one to have officiated in a Super Bowl has been Phares.
Kukar also worked this year's wild card playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers.
Yeah, he was part of the "setup". Probably got a very nice payoff for "playing ball".If you've ever watched the SB36 replay on NFLN, you won't see Kukar spend 5 minutes trying to get the flag picked up on McGinest's holding call. Despite how obviously correct the call was. Btw, the only defensive holding call of the entire game.
Then there's this nugget I just discovered. Gee, I thought the referees for the Super Bowl were chosen long before the game. Certainly not just 4 days before the big game.
