The national cry over mediocre officiating continues after yesterday's Super Bowl:

Kansas City Star
Paul Tagliabue’s league has an officiating crisis. Bogus, inconsistent flag-throwing and rule-interpreting is making the national pastime difficult to take seriously.

Washington Post
Seattle should have been ahead by a couple of touchdowns, yet found themselves down 7-3 at halftime because the referees blew a call.

ESPN
the officials who performed well enough throughout the season to earn the privilege of working Super Bowl XL performed Sunday as though they were trying to make it up to the Steelers by giving them the game -- not just any game, but the biggest game.

Fox Sports
Every single questionable, marginal or outright bad call went against the Seahawks.

Boston Sports.net
A hail of blatantly bad calls went against the Seattle Seahawks which cost them 14 precious points, and ultimately the game.

Maybe there was a slight MNF feel to the thing, but that is fine with me. Michaels & Madden are a great combo & I thought did a fine job.
