Official Disgust

From St. Louis to Seattle - BE STRONG MY BROTHERS!

Yep - if you're a sports fan, you can probably guess the theme of this entry. The Super Bowl was a super mess of lousy officiating. I could make the argument that it cost the Seahawks the game itself. That offensive interference call in the end zone, the supposed "touchdown" by Ruthless-burger (or however you spell his name), and that phantom holding call (???) - all were really, really bad examples of officiating.

Let me send out a note of sympathy and solidarity from the fans of the St. Louis Cardinals who got screwed over by the umpires in the NLCS last fall against Houston. The ejection of LaRussa was bad enough, but the "called strike" on Jim Edmonds right afterward? Nonsense. Also - Game Six - the phantom tag at second base which never connected, and should have left the Cards with the bases loaded, nobody out, and (possibly) Roy Oswalt headed for the showers. Arghhhh!!!!!

We stand together - Seahawk Nation and Cardinal Nation - united by our questions of "What if" ?

And it won't get any better until we can get back on the field next season.

[fast forward thru off-season please]
