Mike is STILL Blubbering.....

Gosh darnit, Mike, it's been close to 2 months since your inept team lost the Super Bowl with sloppy play and worse coaching. Can you please give the fans of the NFL a break and let them enjoy the free agency period and draft analysis without reading every day in the sports pages how you are still angry at the officiating in the Super Bowl. We get it. Ok? We get it. Really! Your comments right after the Super Bowl painted you as a passionate guy who was still a little hotheaded. Your comments now read as quite borish and what we've come to expect. The fact that you didn't get fined for your comments is still unbelievable to me. Even though Tags explained it away - you are still pretty lucky you didn't lose somewhere between 30-50k for your remarks. If you were half the man you say you are (well, for one your wife would be happy because then you'd only weigh about 2 bills) you should realize the commissioner showed you mercy and donate that money to charity. I'm sure there is a "Save The Walrus" campaign somewhere you can donate to. Call Paul McCartney as he probably has the number speed dialed on his cell phone. The head of officiating Mike Peoria sat with the owners at the meetings last week and AGAIN explained why every single call (with the exception of the tackle Hasselbeck made) was legit and you STILL want to whine about it. In retrospect, what would be interesting to hear from your blowhole (yes, I know, it's whales that have blowholes - but I like the way it sounded here) would be an explanation to the poor clock management your entire team showed near the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters. That's poor coaching. You were in so many blowouts this year you probably neglected to coach these situations. Nobody likes a whiner, especially in professional sports. If you remember just a few short years ago, the Steelers were eliminated from the playoffs on a field goal by the Titans in which they were allowed to kick it again after a miss because of a running into the kicker penalty. Our guy DeWayne Washington just GRAZED the kicker - who went down in an Oscar-worthy heap admitting on ESPN later that night that he was acting - and it cost us a legitimate shot at the Championship that year. Much like your comments right after the game, Cowher ran up to the official screaming "You cost us the game..." or something very close to that as I remember reading his lips. Here's the difference between you and Bill Cowher: a few days later after the emotion of the moment was over - Cowher apologized to the league, the official, his fans, the organization and said something to the effect of the officials followed the rules as they are written. He wasn't crying to the press 2 months later like a little girl with a skinned knee. Grow up, Mike. Until last year I thought maybe your earlier Super Bowl experience hinged on Brett Favre in his prime and had nothing to do with you. Seattle has been inconsistent since you've been there. You somewhat proved me wrong, but how are you now going to change the perception of NFL fans everywhere that you are a nothing more than a huge (and I mean huge) whiner? I'd start with an apology.
