Mike Salk is such a hypocrite

[ivotuk]

This is the guy that said Seattle shouldn't complain about the officiating in Superbowl XL, yet he's going off as if that was the worst penalty call ever!

"It ruined the game!"

Brock Huard: "The DB admitted it was a hold."

Salk "I don't care! It ruined the game!"

 

[fire_marshall_bill]

It seemed ticky tack, but there has been way worse. See SB 40...

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No, it did not ruin the game. What a drama queen. Salk a whining little b, always has been.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Never really liked Mike Salk to begin with but for some reason ESPN Seattle loves him covering the Seahawks.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Yeah he’s a huge hypocrite. Can’t stand his whiney voice.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

No, it did not ruin the game.

Absolutely ruined the game. That game was on it's way to being top 5 greatest SB's of all time.

Now it's just another SB that ended in a boring fashion because the ref decided to interject himself into something no one wanted him to, by calling a non-egregious penalty that completely decided the outcome of a SuperBowl.

I don't care about Salk, he's an annoying sports elitist. But he's right, the ref ruined the SB. No one on the planet outside of Kansas City enjoyed that ending.

^ Bingo.

 

[Hawknballs]

technically a pentaly or not, it was a ticky tacky call that decided the game. There are always going to be the obtuse dopes that chime in and say "THEY COULD HAVE PLAYED BETTER FOR THE OTHER 59 MINUTES" but if we had youthful full-time refs who were taught not only the rules but situational awareness and not throwing a one flag that decides the outcome of the entire season this might not have happened. The refs have to be better. too many playoff games the last few seasons have been decided by dumb penalties or no-calls on egregious ones. the fact that this is a part time job for these guys is ludicrous. too much is on the line here.

Also calling a radio personality a 'hypocrite" doesn't really mean much to me. Their job is literally to talk all day and so much of it ends up being hyperbole that you could probably find some comparable hypocrisy perpetrated by just about any regular talking head.

It ruined the game if you CHOOSE to let it dictate how you saw a great football game.

Recency bias? It was a good game, but not that remarkable, with our without the penalty.

Haha yeah totally my fault the refs are fking dogsh*t, you're right bruh.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It was a VERY good game.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Haha yeah totally my fault the refs are fking dogsh*t, you're right bruh.

And if you want to believe that one call is the reason they lost, have at it.
We can agree to disagree. A lot of whining going on for teams that shouldn't matter one bit.
It was a crap call, NOT the reason Philly lost. God you're a whiner.

I did see a great football game, for 55 minutes. Then I saw a great football game that had all the excitement and air sucked right out of it by a ticky tack call that shouldn't have happened.

Which is why that's all anyone's talking about today, when everyone should be talking about what a great game it was.

If you don't understand the nuance of reffing, than that's on you.

"EVERY OPINION I DONT SHARE IS WHINING!"

Talk about projection.

Please, tell us all more about what should and shouldn't matter to people, genius.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Fair enough. It was ticky tack. Still not the reason Philly lost.

Thanks for yet another laugh. It IS ok to disagree on how that game ended and/or if it was the reason that Philly lost.
I don't give a rats a** about either of these teams.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Recency bias? It was a good game, but not that remarkable, with our without the penalty.

Very few SB's are close, let alone that come down to the last 5 minutes tied with this many comebacks and lead changes. Most definitely was on it's way to being one of the greatest.

But hey, we don't have to worry about this debate. The ref took care of that.

Nobody said it was "the reason philly lost"

That's just you, using hyperbole to try to sound smart. It's backfiring.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It was a crap call, very ticky tack. Esp. after they were letting them play. It sucks. Zero arguments here. I just don't walk away thinking it ruined a great game. Didn't for me. IF I cared about either team? Probably a lot different outlook on it. And yes, I CAN see how it took away what could have been a hell of an ending if Philly got the ball back with a minute and a half and a timeout. I was hoping for OT.

You can go ahead and put on ignore. You bring NOTHING to the table but a bunch of bitching. Nothing more.
