Super Bowl XL screenplay by Akiva Goldsman

OK I know I am late on the bandwagon but that is only because I was bitching to George, Beau, and Maryanne in the "Real World" on Sunday night and Blogger was down last night.

I have long held the pseudo belief that all professional sports is scripted just like Professional Wrestling. Well Sundays game just added another log to the gas fireplace. It defiantly felt that every time the SeaHawks made a big play to keep a drive alive, the zebras were making another Bullshit call. It is not a hold if the defender is falling onto you!!! Grabbing a ball out of the air and changing directions while a defensive player hits the ball out of bounds is not an incomplete pass!! Where was the call on the Offensive Lineman that was Holding the Seahawk FROM BEHIND on Heinz 75 yard run?!?!? (BTW I don't think this should have been a penalty but it should have been called since it was more blatant then 2 prior calls on the Seahawks).

It also seemed like the Steeler coach had written his halftime leaving the field comments BEFORE the game. He was complaining about penalties?!?!?!? He only had 3 for 20 yards for the WHOLE GAME!!!! Maybe the refs should have gotten him an update copy of the script.

By the Way when I said that it felt scripted, I do NOT mean that it was fake. It is quite clear that the PLAYERS are athletes that are giving it their all.

Screw them all!!! Pitcher and catchers report in 7 days and 23 hours.
