This weekend we reunite with our old friend Bill Leavy.

At least he recognizes that XL* was messed up, unlike good ol Mike Pereira

Leavy's crew worked our MNF game with the Saints, so it's not as if this is some sort of unique experience.

Actually it was Ed Hochuli who worked that game. Mr. Guns himself

Damn...you're right. I stand corrected. Why do I keep mixing up those two guys?

After watching Super Bowl XL over again I found Leavy less obnoxious, I feel like his crew may have missed a call here or there but the Seahawks had their chances all games and blew it with dropped balls, INT's etc, all foreshadowing Russell Wilsons rise to the top of course just a few years later.

Not that I want to relive the whole thing, but this downplays what happened that day so significantly. I literally blame three Seahawks losses ever on officiating and that's certainly one of them. There's a reason that the ESPN.com poll showed 49 states (all but PA) agreeing after the game that officiating changed the outcome of the game.

48, but I swear I'm not counting...
