I know everyone across the county is still celebrating our loss in the big game (thanks Mike Carey, have you coughed up the whistle yet?). But Colt fans after losing a playoff game to all world Billy Volek at the RCA Dome have nothing else to celebrate and are jumping on Eli's coattails as if he's actually a Colt and because his last name starts with an "M". That's embarrasing. Check out their forums.

it is because they are losers.

Really, how sad is it that your QB's LITTLE BROTHER won the SB instead of yours defending his title?

This may surprise you, but outside of NE's diehard fanbase, no one in the country is talking about officiating in the Superbowl.

After Pitt/Seattle, EVERYONE was talking about it, and it is still tainted to this day because of it.

But no one is talking about holding on the Tyree pass, because it didn't really exist.

It's quite pathetic when fans from other team have to live vicariously through another team like the Giants because of their own team's suckitude.

There is almost no discussion within NE's diehard fanbase about it either.

The only people claiming awful officiating it are pathetic whiners who give other NE fans a bad name.

no one is talking about the officiating because it wasn't blatently, horribly one sided in the same way it was in say, colts vs steelers or pitt vs seattle...but to say that there was no holding on that tyree play is utterly false. it's like saying that there was no OPI committed by toomer on hobbs earlier in the game. the unfortunate fact is that these calls/non calls happen in every game...your team gets some and they don't get some, it's the way of the game.

Fair enough. I have watched that play about 20 times at this point, from several different angles. To me, if there was a hold, it was definitely not blatant enough to call in the last 2 minutes of a Superbowl, when refs are particularly hesitant (as they were on the next drive, as there was holding going on for at least one of NE's last offensive plays).

On this board, I have seen ridiculous exaggerations about the so-called holding on the last play, including the idea that the ref could have called 2 separate personal fouls on that play, because 2 Patriots facemasks were being grabbed & pulled all over the place. That simply did not happen.

Been there, done that. All you read about at the DimStar is every other thread obsessing or bashing the Patriots. JC, you'd think they would want to talk about their own team, but they have a severe inferiority complex over there.
