Pittsburgh v. Indianapolis

Well, I'm glad that's over.

The Steelers beat the Colts to advance to the AFC Championship. Where they deserve to be. I'm not sure I've ever seen officiating in an NFL game that I felt was crooked -- at least until today. I thought the officials were beyond biased, rather that they had been bought off.

I guess I can say that as a fan because a couple of their calls seem ridiculous - especially on the Troy Polamalu fumble recovery.

In any event, the right team won - though I have expected the officials to call a penalty on the botched field goal by Indianapolis.

Before you say I'm crazy, remember that several top-flight Bundesliga officials were convicted of fixing games last year.. so it does happen.
