I lived up to my end of the deal, Snake. You said I keep the Steelers from covering and you’d bring Angela back safe and sound. Well, I did it. I compromised everything I believe in for my girl and you got your $64 million swing. That’s how much I love my daughter. Now where is she?
Look where? Outside? Hey, that’s her favorite bag! What game are you playing?
Fine, I’ll open it. A note! “Make… sure… the…Titans…finish…sixteen…and…oh… and…lose…in…their…first…playoff…game.” What is this? We had a deal. I did my part. Where’s my Angela, you scum. I’m tired of being your stooge. You gave Hochuli his favorite weight-lifting gloves back. All I want is a fair deal. Don’t hang up on me. Don’t — I…FUCK!
THAT WASN’T PART OF THE BARGAIN!
THAT WASN’T PPPPPPPPAAAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTT
SSSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKEEEEEE

@MEH –
Clearly you have Steeler Nation confused with Redskin County or Cowboy Exurb.
Bulk Majority of Steelers fans are the pro equivalent of Florida Gators fans. Constantly bitching about everything and arrogantly assuming other people care as much about thier perceived plights as much as they do.
/dismissive wanking gesture
Somebody watched Robot Chicken last night.
I’m not sure what to say about the “I hope Steelers fans harass him like they did to Pete Morelli back in ’05″ tag. I think those were two different situations, the difference being that here a generally good referee misinterpreted a little-used rule when the game had already been decided, while Pete Morelli is one of the worst officials in NFL history. I mean really, what kind of idiot uses the sentence “I had the defender catching the ball,” in an explanation of why a defender DID NOT catch a ball?
@Rocco: You are correct sir. +Eleventy for you.
Agreed that full-time refs would make it better, but there would be at least one officiating team that would still suck and would cause us to throw sulfuric acid at the nearest schoolgirl in protest.
LOL. Just wouldn’t be a Monday without a Steeler fan bitching about officiating.
You would think they would understand that between the immaculate reception and super bowl XL they have used up 150 years of cosmic officiating karma in just the past 30.
They had lopsided penalty total in a non-division game in November while nursing a 2 game division lead? They had their final, completely meaningless touchdown erroneously waved off in a game they won anyway?
My fucking heart breaks.
@Rocco:
+1
It’s crazy that they don’t have full time refs.
I like the poll on ESPN about what’s more startling: the refs in the Steeler game or McNabb not knowing the OT rule? McNabb is more startling (although I’m not that startled by that revelation either) than NFL refs being crappy at their jobs. And that’s sad.
I bet it was that damn Saquatch….
Why do they use old men for refs? Can anybody explain that one?
Make refs full time! i agree. their professionals with multimillions riding on their shoulders. HH at http://www.showoffsports.com
NFL revenues: $800 Trillion
NFL refs: part-time employees
There’s your reason.
At least Snake didn’t demand that he cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with…a herring!
@VYS
I said they “tried” to fix things, by calling the game so one sided. Just like they “tried” to help the Chiefs beat the Chargers last week with that horrible PI call late in the game. The Refs can only do so much, the players have to come through too.
Seriously though, is anyone the least bit surprised something like this is possible in the NFL? This is the league where an official once called the coin toss incorrectly and cost a team a game. The freaking coin toss.
Ref 1: I think it was a TD, no illegal forward pass.
Ref 2: Yeah, but Polamalu scored the TD.
Ref 1: Isn’t he the one who bad mouthed all the NFL referees?
Ref 2: Yup. And he said your mom used too much teeth when giving blow jobs.
Ref 1: Oh yeah? [mic flies open] Upon further review, fuck you Polamalu and fuck everyone who bet on you. Now who’s mother uses too much teeth, bitch.
@Steve –
What was wrong with the officiating in Super Bowl XL? I’m not aware of any controversies from that game. And the Hochuli explanation doesn’t explain taking points off the board at the end since the soon-to-be-LA Chargers still lost.
Ape’s explanation still makes more sense, since it explains how the suckery was so one-sided.
Shit, the Maj lost people $65 million this week. All relative, I suppose.
@VYS
All the other refs secretly hate Hochuli and were trying to make amends to the Chargers for his Denver Screw Job?
The NFL was trying to make it up to Seahawk fans for the Super Bowl a few years ago?
No, those don’t really work as plausible explanations.
How bout this: NFL refs generally suck. They have sucked for years, and they’ll keep sucking until the league gives a shit and does something about it.
Ya, that works better.
I belive this falls under the category: “Defies Explanation”.
Bart’s gone too?
That wasn’t part of our deal, Blackheart! That wasn’t part!
This is the most sensible and logical explanation I’ve seen yet for the 23:1 penalty yardage ratio, combined with the weird interpretation of the “illegal forward pass” rule at the end. One or the other I understand. But the whole freakin’ combination? How does a community of refs simultaneously and suddenly forget how to interpret the illegal forward pass rule?
If someone has a more sensible explanation for the officiating in that game, I’m all eyes.
When I stop sniffing glue and smoking crack while trying to type with only my left hand.
/getting back to work now
My boozy and cannabinaceous excesses from the early games caused me to doze off for most of this game. When I woke up, I saw an 11-10 score, then this weird play. I thought I was having one of those surreal afternoon pot-nap dreams, but it was real.
SNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEE PLLLIISSSKKEENN!!!

@Jackin – When, boy? When, are you gonna get your act together?
DARTH Vader. There goes my joke…up in smoke.
@BDD: +1 for the Dath Vader reference. No way are you a blogger, you’re just too…uh…how do you say…cosmopolitan.

Gambling is sinful You shall reap what you sow.
Jesus, and I stopped watching the fucking NBA because it was too corrupt. Nice going there NFL.
Wait, is it Snake from “the Simpsons” or Snake Plisken from “Esacpe from New York” behind this devious plot?
When reached for comment, Jake the Snake Roberts took a bite out of his Egg McMuffin, smiled wryly, and then placed his penis on the cashiers counter at the McDonalds.
David Stern is jealous
TIME PARADOX
@Grimey – I believe Neal McDonough had a hand in this as well.
Another shitty comment complaining about an Ape post!
I’m guessing UM bet the Steelers laying the points
Another shitty Ape post.
I never touched Hochuli’s gloves. I know better.
Jimmy the Snake
Unfortunately, it appears that Troy Polamalu has run over the dogs of about 20 different referees
Jay-
Continue or Exit?
Snake?
SNAKE?
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE?
Umm, FMRA, you weren’t watching Pittsburgh / San Diego, huh?
Snake is actually Mercury Morris, isn’t he?
Thats Mr. Snake, son.
Somehow Gary Sinise is involved in all this. He always is.
I’m probably earning Idiot Status for the day by revealing that the actual reference behind this post is lost on me… but this immediately made me think of the movie that Macauley Culkin uses to fool the bad guys in “Home Alone.”
Keep the change, ya filthy animal.
I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.
