Super Bowl XLIII Running Thread

We ask the same question time and time again, don't we: How do these people ever get elected in the first place?

 

I didn't see it, but if as an employee of the network that had 8000 cameras on the game, a day later, you can't tell us who it was, maybe the refs missed it too.

 

God... risking sounding like I am defending Harrison.... at least he hit the guy on the frontal plate of Francisco's shoulder pads, and he hit him with an open hand.

 

If you saw Holmgren on the NBC telecast, you know he's still griping about the officiating from 2006.
Does that mean he's not a great coach?
(Yeah, probably not.)

 

Once again, you have no idea what precipitated that outburst.
Did he deserve to be penalized, no doubt.
Ejected? There's a strong case for that.
Villified? Not until you know why he did it.

 

I don't see that, in any way, as an ejectable offense, based on what I wrote above.

 

He is a good (not great) NFL coach acting like a first-year Class A basketball coach.

He is the only coach that comes to mind that will cry about officials days, months and years after the game is played.

 

You have given me and my broken ankle something to do today. I am going to look at the previous special teams plays and see if there was any running history between the two.

Harrison is still an idiot for the shove when the Cardinals as on his knees, but why did Francisco not try to pursue the play? He was on the kicking team.

 

Isn't it great to be productive?

 

He did it. That's what matters.

 

He did it because he is a piece of shit human being. He would be whether he played for the Steelers, Cardinals, Rams, Dolphins, whoever. That's just who James Harrison is.

 

Not denying that possibility. But, compared with other NFL activity, that is pretty benign.
