Bad Calls
It did appear that the Cardinals had to work a little harder during this Super Bowl. From a business perspective, a Cardinals win probably would have hurt the NFL’s pocket book. I say that because they have no fan base. I have been to a lot of places and I have never met a Cardinals fan. I don’t recall the last time I saw a Cardinals T-shirt, cap, or sweat hoody, etc. Mark I agree with you in regards to the business side of the game.
Holmes had both feet in bounds when he made that catch. As far as bad calls are concerned, referees sometimes make calls based on their perception of a particular person or team. An example would be a defensive end that is known for his lack of speed. This defensive end in rare form manages to get a jump on the snap. As a result, he sacks the quarterback. The ref calls the defensive end as being off sides. This would have never happened to a player like Dwight Freeney; it is expected for him to get to the QB.
Do you remember the NBA finals when Michael Jordan shot a last second jumper over the Jazz. It was that shot when he held the pose with his shooting hand still in the air. That shot shouldn’t have counted because Jordan pushed off using his shoulder. That was an offensive foul. It’s two reasons why I think the refs didn’t call offensive foul on Jordan. The first reason is the refs believed that the Jazz’s defender wouldn’t have stopped Jordan even if he didn’t push off. The second reason is it was an exciting moment that the ref would have spoiled if he made the call.
