Never forget XL, NEVER!!! I still get angry when I think about it. I only get sad about XLIX

XL was a travesty and a theft by the officials.

I'm hoping they get bent over, but I don't think this will be the week (Indy). I really dislike them. I'm tired of hearing how great Tomlin is just because he has never had a losing season. While that's impressive, I don't feel that makes him great by any means. When is the last time he won a playoff game? Also, I'm convinced TJ Watt is taking some sort of performance enhancing substance. Just my opinion. I wish there was a way to prove it.

I am not a Watt fan. Of either of them. The wife is. She's misguided :)

I don’t know much about the younger but JJ is ok in my book.

Still doing community stuff in Houston.

He Honored my daughter as citizen of the year in his Dream big Work hard foundation.
Until he does something to change my mind, he’s got my respect as a Man and a FB player.

Everything about that SB sucked. We go to our first SB and it's not in Miami, or New Orleans, or Southern Cal, it's in effing Detroit, a stones throw from Pittsburgh. Even our second SB is in effing New Jersey outdoors in February. Now that's some real destination traveling for a big game.

Homecoming Super Bowl for Bettis was a contrived fix, but going to New York in front of the biggest Media Center in the world, with a travel squad of Seahawks fans unmatched, with the Broncos favored by everyone and slights against us purely based on Manning being the Football Jesus and having the best Offense ever in the league and the Team from Egypt South Alaska making not only a statement but a total domination and game over basically at the end of the first Quarter was ambrosia served by the Football Gods to Seahawks Fans.

Justin Fields is just SO bad this has to come crashing down at some point.

I don't hate the Steelers, to be honest. I think they're a model organization and I respect them, despite SB40 being a travesty. Omar Khan was almost our GM over Schneider, Mike Tomlin is an awesome HC who coaches hard-nosed football, and Justin Fields is a fun reclamation project.

I'm not invested in seeing them win, but I really don't mind them. I don't see them as the same team as they were in 2006. 95% of that organization wasn't there yet when that happened.

AFC North football is classic, scrappy ball and the Steelers and Ravens are both model organizations. Hard not to respect them both.

I'll get over XL just as soon as someone shows me another single NFL play where a QB (or anyone) in the act of making a tackle on an INT return gets flagged for an illegal block.
You're not wrong!

And then Bettis in the elevator with Hass like 6 months later: "You guys are still on that?"

XL made the NFL's "Top 10 Worst Officiated Games" on the NFL Network.

Chris Berman will always be my hero. " This is for Seattle....Whoop!"

Seattle was too dominant to alter the game with sketch referees.
