Superbowl results: or How to dig a hole for yourselves

I hate it when I'm right...

So as predicted the Pittsburgh Steelers win Superbowl XL. That's fine by itself, because the Steelers are not an unsympathetic team. They did well on defense, gambled when they needed to, and effectively used trick plays to confuse the Seahawks. However, three things hurt:

• The Seahawks had several controversial calls made against them in the first half... So many officials, so many camera's, still so many bad calls. More eyes don't necessarily mean better officiating, me thinks.
  
• Indeed Seattle did themselves in as well with some sincerely stupid plays they had no business of making. Instead of getting good field position, scoring position or ample time to make plays, they often had to start from scratch and made it unnecessarily hard for themselves to score.
• Why for chrissakes do you use Bittersweet Symphony as an entrance theme?? Did Seattle think it could lull the Steelers to sleep?? What a bad choice... Seahawks, please pay attention to professional wrestling to see how you should handle an entrance. This - whatever that crap was - was not it.

As a sidenote, ever since that Nipplegate thing two years back MTV is persona non grata for organizing the half time show. Unfortunately for the NFL the half time show is deathly boring when they aren't... so there's no need to censor the bloody Rolling Stones okay? We don't care. We're taking a leak anyway.
