Even IF that was a bad non-call (and it wasn’t–other angles showed the lack of contact), at worst it’s a wash, given that terrible face mask call earlier in the game.

I love it that you’re saying that being homosexual is wrong or at least an inconvenience in order to be a successful NFL player. You show your true colors.

Congratulations to Green Bay. They outplayed us and they deserve the Super Bowl and all the accolades.

I should probably consider it a good thing that the saddest I’ve ever been is right now watching my football team lose a silly game. Perspective will have to wait for morning…

This is completely uncalled for. Favre carried that that team for the better part of two decades, put them back into conetention after decades of irrelevance, won them a Superbowl and saved them from obscurity. Trashing Favre now is ungrateful, classless and ignorant, The Packers wouldn’t even exist anymore if it wasn’t for Brett Favre. This is his Superbowl, such as it is. Evil won. Congratulations. Thank Brett Favre.

Mike Mccarthy is still a fat pig who had a beloved old groundskeeper fired for daring to speak to him, though, and Jennings and Driver are both on steroids.

You are the most butthurt Vikings fan I have ever seen. What a crock. You should be ashamed at your blatant Packer hatred clouding your assessment of the game. The Packers won, fair and square. You are an idiot with an axe to grind.

Yeah, trashing a guy that jerks a team around, cheats on his wife, and is an all around narcissist is horrible.

Ragging on players that have no black marks against them, perfectly ok.

- Rothlesberger just stunk in this game. He had some decent yardage, but it was almost all on that quick throw bullshit. (I don’t know how there’s never any offensive pass interference called on that play. The non-receiving WRs block before the ball is thrown.)

- Awesome how the Steelers beat themselves, and how Green Bay capitalized. 21 points off of three turnovers? Awesome.

- Packers lost, what, a dozen players to the turf monster? And it didn’t really show that much at all.

- Expected a blow-out in favor of the Pack, thought I got one, but it turned out not to be the case.

- Repeat, but I need to: Rothlesberger was terrible. Ha!
