Despite All Efforst By The Refs,
49ers Almost Win
Super Bowl (Almost)
Jim Harbaugh, Demonstrating Where The Refs Have Been
Placing Their Fist All Game
Despite falling behind 28-6 at the start of the third quarter, the resilient San Francisco 49ers almost pulled off the greatest come-from-behind victory in Super Bowl history.
After a freak power outage, the 49ers managed to outscore the Baltimore Ravens 25-6. Unfortunetly for the 49ers team, the referees decided it would be best for the game if they didn't interfere with the outcome of the game by throwing those little yellow rags they keep on their hips.
Two balantant non-calls late in the game (offsides on Ed Reed and pass interference on San Francisco's last play of the game) helped seal the niners fate. These bad calls, however, would not erase the fact that prior to the lights going out in the Super Bowl, the niners had played like a submissive bottom to the Ravens power top.
Lead by aging, double homicide escaping Ray Lewis (who looked every bit of his 17 years in the league, missing several key tackles and being a complete non-factor) the Ravens managed to stumble their way into another championship, all while wearing the first name of the man who swore to Cleveland that he would never relocate the Browns on the front of their jerseys.
But, that's who the Ravens are. A team no one outside of Maryland and the seven rings of hell like. Now, Joe "I'm the best in the league" Flacco and Ray "Get ready for some water works" Lewis, get to ride off into the sunset, chest sticking out further than a blue birds, while the rest of the NFL has to look themselves in the mirror and ask how 31 other teams couldn't stop a average offense and a group of senior citizens (by NFL standards) on defense from hoisting the Lombardi trophy.
Another season down the drain, the fans of the NFL have a whole off season to ponder what network will hire Ray Lewis to give indepth analysis like "Give it all you got." and "You have to be willing to put it all on the line."
Fucking, god damn it. I hate the Ravens.
