The Super Bowl was further confirmation of a common belief that all pro
sports are fixed. I think the Pitts QB took a dive - how else do you
explain two interceptions on the two drives which could have given
them the lead? He threw only 7 int's all year, none of them directly
into the numbers of the opposing defense, faced blitzes all year, and
then throws two int's right into the db's numbers. Come on, once
maybe, but twice? I think he was given a bus load of tax exempt
money, various perks, and an "if you make it again to the Super Bowl
you'll win" guarantee. Let's face it, there was a lot of money to be
lost if Pitt won. The commercial endorsements alone could have hurt
the prospects and stock of many of our largest corporations. How many
of the Super Bowl ads featured Pittsburgh players?
I say - IT WAS FIXED. It O'Donnell ever gets to the Super Bowl again,
I'm betting the farm on him - regardless of the odds.

Dallas never did cover the points. The bookmakers won a butt load of money of off people thinking it was going to be a blowout.

You actually think that with O'Donnel becoming a free agent next year he would throw this game. With his potential to shine and make a star of himself in the game he would be a QB in big demand thus making millions more. Now wiht what happen Sunday, he will probably not be back with the Steelers and definitely not be making as much as he would have liked. I don't think O'Donnel is that stupid. GET A LIFE GUY.

Ask the Bills what they'd do to actually win one. They may never get another chance. The Steelers may never get another chance. It's hard to gauge these things. It's like a politician being nominated by their party to run for president and declining... Allan Guyton

But I must inform you that you don't know what you are talking about. The Steelers covered the spread. That's all that the bookies cared about. Who wins doesn't matter because very few people bet the game straight up compared to those that bet the spread and over-under.
