I promise you Tomlin does not enjoy losing. He doesn't want to answer questions second guessing his play calling or critiquing his players' performances. The difference is Tomlin is a person of very high character, very high standards, and the emotional stability to ride the high's and lows and still keep his composure. In Pittsburgh, "the standard" applies to coaches too. You win with class. And you lose with class. Just one of the reason's I'm proud to be a Steelers fan.

Well done.

Re: Patriots Have 0 Class

They made it further than we did this year with no cheating. No one has ever confused me with a Pat's fan, but they had some ticky-tack calls go against them. Add to that, Welker, Hernandez and Branch ALL dropping passes that they would normally make when it was crunch time. What do you expect the coach to say? "Our normally dependable receivers suddenly couldn't catch?"

Was he obligated to be interviewed after the game? If not, I can't blame him for not doing it. I wouldn't have either. The did keep the Ravens out and for that, I thank them!

Well I'm confusing you with one. You sound exactly like a Cheatriots fan. What ticky tack calls, are you freaking kidding me. What a complete and utter joke. Oh, are you talking about the phantom holding call when NYG was pounding it down there throat and about to score and burn out clock. That call ruined that drive and led to zero points and a punt. Or maybe you were talking about the PI no call when everybody knows if that was against your golden boy ten flags would have been thrown. These were the only missed calls I saw all game. Help me out?

Here is a team of arrogant douches who personally cheated us out of a chance at a Superbowl not once but twice and a Steeler fan is thanking them for keeping the Ravens out of the Superbowl. Notice how he tries to justify his "feelings" for the cheats by bringing up the Ravens, as if that exonerates them for being the scum of the earth. I'm not buying it. "They made it further than we did without cheating", this is exactly what someone who is a lifelong cheats fan would say to a Steeler fan who knows that the cheats were always frauds. This is pure cheatriots fan speech, unbelievable. Give me a break with the "drops excuse", you sound like Gisele. Firstly drops are part of the game. You don't catch the ball you don't win, period. As for Welker, it would have been an amazing catch because the pass was actually pretty bad. The guy was wide open, and "The Dreamiest Super Groovy QB Ever", threw it high, hard, and behind Welker. Welker made a difficult move just to get his hands on it. Should he have caught it, maybe, but don't act like he dropped a great ball. It was a bad pass from a guy who became distracted by the pressure of his precious legacy being in jeopardy. Hernandez was a drop but he was thinking about that corner dropping down and putting him to sleep. Again, football. With Branch, do you mean when Philips should have picked it but instead he tipped it and Branch couldn't hold on. The ball was tipped this is not a drop.

When you bring up ridiculous excuses as to why these frauds lost the game (it should have been worse) this tells me that you may have been rooting for them, which is just amazing.

Was really thinking that all the closet fanboys would get back in the closet after the frauds were exposed last night. But these tendencies are really strong in some, even exposing their infatuation of brady boy and the cheats in multiple threads. The legacy is over. Face it.

Thank you. I couldn't have said it better.

Re: Patriots Have 0 Class

I thought it was one of the best officiated Super Bowls I have seen in a long time.

Giants played a little bit better than the Pats, and had fewer mistakes. They were the better team when it counted.

I didn't watch any of the post-game stuff - was a little bit depressed.

Re: Patriots Have 0 Class

The one call I thought was weird was the safety for intentional grounding. As far a Brady threw the ball down field under duress, it seems like he could have easily just overthrown someone. It may have been the right call, but it was odd.

The one bad call against the Gmen was the Pass int that wasn't called. But then when they showed the replay from the back where the ref was it didn't look too bad.

All in all. The game seemed called pretty well. And when in doubt, they mostly let the players play and didn't detract with ticky tack calls

If I was a Pats fan, I'd be most bummed about the fumbles they forced and just got the wrong bounces and couldn't recover. As bad as NEs D is, I give them credit for going after the ball.

Sorry for your loss, individually. You've been an asset to this board, a student of the game, and are owed that respect.

It's football - sometimes the ball bounces in weird directions. Pats have had both kinds of luck the past 10 years or so - it generally evens out, although when it's bad and recent it hurts a little.

But on the positive side, I hear there's going to be another NFL season starting up this fall. Looking forward to it.

Re: Patriots Have 0 Class

Nobody is slighting Belichick for being pi$$ed over losing...

But, there is no excuse for not having the sack to answer questions...supposedly, he is a professional...he should conduct himself as such...

Re: Patriots Have 0 Class

I thought it was a good suspense type game. Just glad justice was served with the Cheats losing. They screwed teams, cities, players coaches for years with their cheating so anytime those pricks lose, it is a good day.

You mean without a lockout?

I coach my 9 year old son's baseball, basketball and football teams and this is lesson #1. Win with class lose with dignity. If you give it your best, be proud of yourself and your teammates.

Re: Patriots Have 0 Class

I don't know why anyone is surprised that Bellicheat is a creep ? The first I ever heard of him or seen of him was his days with the Browns. When he didn't shake hands with Greg Lloyd after the playoff loss, I knew all there was to know about the guy.

Goodell wants the NFL to be something that you should admire, respect and all green but, he overlooks the ***'s and Bellicheat as if they were transparent.
