The 5th Best Super Bowl ever.
As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan for a long time now, I thought this DVD set with commentary by the Pittsburgh Radio announcers was great. It was a welcome relief to hear someone other than the Network announcers making the calls. The Steelers played with poise and overcame bad calls in Indianapolis and Detroit (against Seattle in the Super Bowl). Seattle didn't, the Colts didn't respond well to the pressure they were under, even with help from a bad call late in the 4th Quarter. Ben's tackle saved the game there. Ben scored a touchdown in Super Bowl XL. According to the rules the ball has to cross the goalline. In the ref's review it did. Even if Seattle pushed Ben back prior to his hitting the ground. I know not everyone will agree with this. But, who overcame the bad calls and responded better to the penalties assessed: Pittsburgh or Seattle?
Ignore the one bad review, he's from Ohio.
The guy who wrote the bad review on this box set probably doesn't even own it. Why would he? He obviously hates the Steelers and loves either the Bengals or Browns and is bitter because Pittsburgh won their 5th ring and both those teams combined still have ZERO! As far as his comments about the Refs. All the calls made, except for one, in Super Bowl XL were text book, if one would read the definitions of calls in the NFL Rule Book. The one that wasn't was a post possession foul. He fails to mention or doesn't remember all the breaks Seattle got. Such as the no falg on the block in the back on Roethlisberger during the int return which set up Seattles sole TD. A late hit after a QB slide and an intereference on Pitt WR Nate Washington, neither which were called. The flag thrown on Seattle which was picked up after discussion on a non reviewable helmet to helmet and a whistle blown while Pitt tried to recover a fumble. The refs didn't make the Hawks go 5 of 17 on thrid down or miss 2 field goals and have poor clock management. They dindn't score the longest run in Super Bowl History or throw the only TD by a WR in Super Bowl History or record three sacks and a pick for Pittsburgh. AS for the Set it is Awesome. All four games from the live TV telecast but with the Local Steelers radio call.
Great keepsake of a great season
A must have for any Steelers fan--brilliant capture of the Steeler's improbable run to Super Bowl XL.
