    I have literally dozens.

    You should be e-mailing Jeff Triplette, Jim Quirk, Steve Stelljes, Jeff Seeman, Duke Carroll, Greg Meyer and Greg Steed and thank them for their excellent work last night to advance the cause.

    Actually, I think my thank you e-mails would be better directed to Anquan Boldin, Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, Michael Oher and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

    So you don't think the game was at least poorly officiated. I was tanked on here last night and don't recall you acknowledging it.

    The only excuse they can make is it was a mixed crew (two Triplette, two from Walt Coleman and three of Ed Hochuli's jokers).

    I would like to know why consistently bad referees are assigned to playoff games involving Pittsburgh. If you can answer satisfactorily, I will shut the fuck up about it.

    I'm not sure welker being out for one series mattered much.

    Or, the Jets might win.

    Jets +3, Bears +3. Chicago is getting points at home!

    Um, because the NFL only hires consistently bad referees, so no matter where they're assigned, they're going to call a poor game?

    Specifically about last night's game, I don't see any grand conspiracy theory. Hines Ward picked up a 15-yard penalty on a play where Ed Reed (no flag) took him to the ground after the whistle. The fumble return was bizarre all around, from questions about the Tuck Rule to Terrell Suggs having two hands on Roethlisberger's helmet, which is supposed to be a 15-yard penalty and would've nullified the touchdown.

    If the refs are bad, they're usually going to be bad both ways.

    One thing I love about the Jets advancing with Sanchez at QB and Edwards at WR is how utterly clueless it makes Eric Mangini look. Ryan now has more wins in two years than he had in three with NY and Mangini gave him both those guys for 10 cents on the dollar.

    The Steelers and shittily-officiated big games has become a trend. Nothing reactionary about it.

    Getting points at home to a No. 6 seed. Interesting. But not as unusual as a team getting 10 at home in a playoff game (Seattle vs. New Orleans), and we know how that turned out.

    I see you opted for Option B. Though this latest PM was more bitchy than whiny. How about you don't send me any more PMs at all?

    How about you stop trying to start pissing matches on threads?
