Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted February 6, 2006 The Roethlisberger TD was undeniably NOT a touchdown and there's no purpose for revieiwing footage if you're going to see you made a blatant mistake on a particular call, but then follow through on not changing it anyway. It wasn't quite THAT blatantly obvious. Call could've gone either way No way. If that would have originally been ruled short of a touchdown, followed by the replay being shown, there would have been no disagreement from everybody that Roethlisberger came up short. It was the fact that the referee ruled it a touchdown that some are now acting as if it was a difficult call. It wasn't. The ball didn't touch the line. Even with his arm blocking a full view of the shot, it was easy to see the ball simply did not touch the line. I simply cannot see how that call could be misconstrued as a TD. I thought I saw the ball cross the line, just about halfway, while in midair. Maybe that's how it was misconstrued as a TD? I'll just say it before Marvinisalunatic mentions it, but Mick Jagger and the Stones look even worse in HD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phone in, likely lip-synced and phony crowd. Dude, I hate to tell you this but a lot of 20 something girls still want to fuck the Stones. I don't know WHY but they do. So they probably really ARE loving this. Me, I used to like the Stones. I still like their old albums but time has passed and lapped their asses. Wait? TWO SONGS?!?! AT THE SUPER BOWL?!?!

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2006 So they set up that entire corporate logo of a stage so that Mick Jagger could yell like 75% of the lyrics to "Start Me Up" and "Satisfaction"? Lot of prep for not a lot of payoff, if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am in the same boat as you are, maybe they are a good live act which is their claim to fame (although I'm not seeing it here) but very little of thier arsenal is special.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2006 Well, I guess the Stones just added the Super Bowl to their 10000th retirement concert tour. I thought they would put on at least a mildly decent one, instead it became a concert that sucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2006 Count Young and Irvin in the 'its a fix!' crowd. What did they say? I changed the channel because I have no desire to see the Stones "rock". They said it was clearly a bad call...and both mentioned how Irvin made a career out of doing what Jackson did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2006 You know, if they wanted overated 70's arena bands, they could have gone with KISS. At least Detroit Rock City would have fit the event, rather then I can't get no (satisfaction). They are equal corporate whores as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2006 I dont mind the personal opinions on the Stones...to each/their own, etc... But lip synching? Mick was clearly yelling and wheezing into the mic...nothing sounded crisp or studiolike. Overrated 70s arena band? So everything they did in their best decade doesnt count, ok. 10000 retirement tour? When was the last time they had a retirement tour? Theyve denied retiring in nearly every interview theyve done in the past decade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
