Well, it wasn't Mike Carey's crew. *The Super Bowl crew is made up of the
officials that are rated #1 at their positions. *There may be some
problems because the crew hasn't worked as a team before, but I suspect,

I had no problems with the officiating, other than their obvious bias
towards the Giants which cost me big bucks.

Yeah, I don't gamble.. Used to play pretty good pool, coulda' made
some bucks but no. Dad always told me not to gamble money you would
not throw out the window of your car... I have never had enough to
throw any out the window..;)

We were at the neighbor's last night for the game. I don't usually gamble
on anything, but as I didn't care going in which team won, I figured a
wager on one or the other would make it a little more exciting. After some
arguing, he took the Giants and ten points. That added a little spice to
the game.

Yes.

Actually, I don't think the game has been discussed ad nauseum. I don't
think we are close to ad nauseum. Now if we were still talking about
the game 7 yrs afterwards saying the supreme court stole the game from
NE, now that would be ad nauseum.

Reggie - I finally got my lens back from Nikon. This is the 18-200 VR that
I thought wasn't focusing properly. Nikon replaced the cam ring, and the
wave motor, repaired the lens FPC and roller guide ring, and cleaned the
lens.

Made me feel better. I guess it was the lens after all.

Yip, I think I'll use it as primary for a while and send the 18-70 in to
get cleaned. It's starting to get hard to zoom in spots.

Mike Carey's crew is officiating.

Nice attempt to set up an excuse if the cheaters lose.

May get away with it for a while but in the long run, cheaters never
really win. Here a short run example:
