There should have been an official review of the fumble by Kurt Warner. The official take is this: "As the Steelers ran the last play, Michaels said the booth officials had confirmed that it was a fumble." The problem is, it's not up to the booth officials to make that call - they simply have to decide if it's questionable enough for the referee on the field to review the play. It certainly was questionable, so the referee should have been given the chance to make the call. Booth officials only make decisions like that in college, not in the NFL.
On Friday night, I went to go see Taken. It's an action flick in the "talented but inactive government agent goes on a rampage because of some personal injury done to him by the bad guys" theme. It was an excellent movie, though. The lead actor was believable (as an average-looking man, he's more believable than someone like Dwayne Johnson as a spy), the motivation was believable, there were a couple of unexpected twists, and the movie highlighted something that is a real world problem, affecting millions of people.

Yup. They should have reviewed that one, and Pittsburgh should have kicked off at the 15 because of excessive celebration (understandable celebration, but excessive nonetheless).
In any event, great game with a lot of great sportsmen. All around great. Even the Boss was on.
The commercials were below average, though. My favorite was the guy who had the back end of the moose at his desk.
Dwayne Johnson? You mean in Get Smart? Or was a he a spy in some other movie?
Get Smart it is, largely because it was the first thing that came to mind when I thought "spy."
There is a class of movies that says "someone messes with the guy you obviously don't mess with, and they get what's coming to them." I liked this because Liam Neeson looks much more the nondescript type I'd expect as an invisible CIA agent.
The movie, though, is disturbing in one way - it portrays women being forced into prostitution (though without resorting to nudity, as I recall). But I'd reccommend it anyway, because there are things we ought to find disturbing - hopefully enough to motivate us to action.
