    I am so sick of answering this question

    OK for the last time....

    A push is a defender fully extending his arm to gain an advantage over the defender. Jackson's arm was fully extended....Good Call bad timing

    Video Replay must provide UNDISPUTIBLE evidence to overturn a on-feild ruling. What made that play stand was the fact that although you "know" where the ball was, you still can not determine wether he was over or not before the hit....

    Good Call

    Now the below the waist thing....

    Bad Call

    But what about Jeramy Stevens "not fumble" or the fact that Rothlisberger was blocked in the back on the int. return. Or Shaun Alexander not showing up, Poor Clock management at the close of the game and 1st half, Hasselback throwing 2 passes out of bounds (inside the 20), allowing Big Ben the time to throw a 60 yd pass to Hines Ward, the 2 missed tackles on the longest run in Super Bowl history......And last but not least Josh Brown missed 2 FG's.

    So don't blame the refs.

    Blame the Team.

    no. because the only thing that i think was not correct was the so called TD run by big ben. though there was really not enough evidence on the play to over turn it. but u could figure that he probably wasn't in. but those 2 inches man, come on. they would of converted the 4th down 2 inch qb sneak. and even if they wouldn't, that touchdown wasn't the game winner anyway. plus if u remember how the steelers were cheated against the colts. so u should feel sorry for the steelers. i think. plus they were the under dogs in every single d**n game in the playoffs. they weren't even supposed to make to the playoffs dude.

    A long time ago Detriot was chosen to host the Super Bowl,the whole city was "set up" to recieve many new visitors. All the tv cameras were"set up" to get many views, Ford field was "set up" in many different paint schemes also. Only thing left was to get two teams to battle it out. Of course there was questionable calls,what game didnt have them?
