Match fixing is unfortunately part of sports. FIFA recently had a major scandal on it. Don’t forget about the Black Sox scandal. And no matter what teams will tell you, we know that a lot of them try to tank. It’s as simple as that.
Match fixing will probably never go away. We just have to accept that. Now, the NFL has had its fair share of officiating controversies, but one particular event stands out from the rest. That would be Super Bowl 40, played between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks in Detroit.
While many of us try to remember it as Jerome Bettis’ perfect send-off as a champion in his hometown, it’s too hard to forget that the game had so many officiating mistakes to the point where people, to this day, believe the fix was in.
Today we present The Most FIXED Superbowl of All Time.

Called a block below the waist on qb for tackling the guy who intercepted the ball.
Literally makes my blood boil. One of the most disgusting games of my lifetime.
@Tyler L the Seahawks are a newer team and have been through some s*it within the past 2 decades. We won 2013 and we'll eventually win again eventually(most likely without Russell Wilson).
@PhantomCookie "we won in..." "we will..." all this "we" do you play for Seattle Sea Hawks? Lmao 🤣
Uhhh it's an actual penalty. Like a d-lineman can hold. A defensive player can also block
@@AaronRGray No, Hasselbeck threw an interception and then tackled the guy who intercepted it and they called a block below the waste on him, absolutely makes zero sense. He was tackling the guy... wasn't a block. Still baffles me today.
@@AaronRGray this instance was NOT a penalty
When John Madden says it's the worst officiated game he's ever seen, that's saying something!
John Madden has HATED the Steelers ever since the Immaculate Reception, which he also thought was a blown call.
@Jack Arnsick The Seahawks wasn't going to win that game anyway
Was it John Madden or Frank Caliendo?
@@greghill118 I agree
You CANT extend your arm. Offensive pass int👍
This is why refs need to be fined for bad calls
Or shot
They wont because they are following orders. That's why you can't sue the nfl for rigging games,they are registered under entertainment.
I agree with you
@@veganpower7825 Ignorant post. They're not "rigged". Besides if they were there'd be lots of lawsuits. Do you not realize how many people would be involved to rig games? Then everyone keeps quite about it? LMAO!!
@Ryan Scarborough Actually refs are punished, suspended and and fired. It's just not public.
I was not a fan of either team, but I remember watching that game. In the end, I realized that Pittsburgh should not have won and that the Seahawks had been robbed.
Especially since Holmy had ALREADY done a "solid" for the NFL by "gifting" the Broncos with the GO AHEAD/winning score robbing the Packers of back to back SB wins. THAT was a "pay back" for Elway being ROBBED of 3 SB's as punishment for him REFUSING to PLAY for the Baltimore Colts, the team that DRAFTED him #1 in the entire draft. He FORCED a trade with Denver and got FLEECED.
The Illegal Block call on Hasselbeck was arguably the most idiotic call ever. How do get called for a block.....WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A TACKLE?!?!?!
ANYONE?
A superstar had to go off in glory
That's the only bad call in this video.
It was a terrible call. Thing is, that same call happened several times that season, once against the Steelers in another game.
@@hbk314 Don't be a troll. You're a fucking stupid asshole.
The Fail mary in Seattle is the most idiotic call I've ever seen.
This Superbowl was a total fix.
They all are
@Davideo Tapes just like Joe Biden is the most popularly elected President ever
@@SoulforSale Biden is a joke. He won the least counties in recent times and somehow won. No way he got 80 mil

@@nemesisbs5538 he won big in large counties and this election was the most participated. So no
Holding calls is the biggest weapon a referee can use to manipulate the game.
I agree but now a days it's defensive holding. The 5 yard rule, no touching a receiver after he goes 5 yards should be thrown out because they can use the call anytime they choose too, just like offensive holding...
If you think this game was legitimate then you my friend, are the dumbass.
@Chaz Bukowski I would love to see a study showing how many teams get offensive holding calls and when on defense get more defensive holding calls. I see some teams play real aggressive grabbing holding receivers1 all the way down the field and no call then 2 mins later see a tricky tac call def holding on the other team...Until we get proven unbiased refs it's always going to be suspect. Like basketball. You see officials getting swayed by crowds and coaches that look suspect...
No that is not the most fix sb, it was the fake roughing the passer on tom brady
@@alltimeraiderfanwinbaby826
Raiders got screwed in The Biggest FIX In League Championship game
The famous Tom Brady FUMBLE which was an obvious fumble. I remember the camera showing the owners box...Kraft looked like he was on the phone, if I remember right...The longer the refs delayed...they were waiting for NY to make the call..
Just got a feeling he.told NY they better fix this... 10 minute they waited before announcing their decision...here comes that shitty 'Tuck Rule" which ruined football for the next dozen years or so...
How bout that snow removal crew that came out during the delay and cleared a nice area for Vinatieri to kick from...
What a deal...
N.E. kicked the game winner...BS...
That was some of the most obvious game fixin I've seen...
Raiders were Ripped Off big time...
Hahaha, I knew exactly what game it was. Three of the officials born and raised in Pittsburgh. That was the worst superbowl I have ever seen. Those officials should of been fired on the spot.
They did what they were paid to do..... Followed the script.
The idea that NFL Officials are not full time employees is a joke. They should just be NFL officials at least during the season and have physical requirements (how about a 6 second 40?) to keep up with the play. No other major sport has part time officials, NFL IS A JOKE!
I agree
What? They let them ref even though they’re from Pittsburgh
You're right, it should have been fired on the spot but look we still have the same problem
NFL officiating is such a joke.
every nfc team agrees
Christmas Ebes could do way better!
It is.
Tom Brady doesn’t think so 😂
Both football and basketball are difficult to officiate at full speed. A hold can be called on just about every play, and trying to figure out who made the contact, and who was set or not set when the contact was made.
I remember watching the game, rooting for my Seahawks. My father-in-law, a Steelers fan, looked over at me and said "You guys are getting screwed by the refs"
Have had several similar conversations with Steelers fans.
The ref comes out and says he couldn’t sleep over that game ??? It was obviously fixed
I’ll take a $1000 on things that never happened Alex.
Yes I remember watching the game and thinking we were lucky the Roethlisberger TD didn't get over turned. And that Roethlisberger had played like crap all game and that was the first thing he'd done almost right But happy the Steelers got the win. Home field advantage is a beautiful thing.
So fuckin obviously this game was FIXED. seattle got screwed over big time. . Fuckin refs
When the ref comes out and says he botched several calls, that lets you know something is fishy.
Sleepless nights
You don’t lose sleep over mistakes it was fixed
That means he also got downgraded and probably got sat down for a game or 2. NFL officials and even college officials get scrutinized heavily and graded harshly

Sean Payton feels that.

@@jenniferherrington331 The Saints get everything deserve for actually trying to kill a man... Brett Favre.
I remember that, and then of course the NFL fined him
Rest in heaven John Madden. Whether you know it or not, your voice was a huge part of my childhood. Be that watching the Packers games, or playing Madden on N64 and on. ❤
Go Pack Go!
this makes me cry!
This makes me cry cuz Madden s a garbage video game
@@graintrain1284 how is madden bad? It’s a damn video game how perfect do u want it to be lol
Madden had a great long life making a great living and he never stopped being involved in the sport that he loved so much. We should all be so lucky to live a life like he had. And I agree, some of my fondest memories were listening to him and Pat S calling the Giants games back in the day.
Look, as a Seahawks fan, I’m not mad at the Steelers for this one, I’m mad at the officiating crew for this one.
The Steelers reaped the benefits of bad calls, you can’t fault them for that. Every team has done that.
so did the Seahawks against the 49ers ...but look at the bigger picture every team with a new stadium has been deep into the playoffs or appeared and won a superbowl
Despite the awful officiating, the game was still VERY winnable for Seattle. Watch the whole game again, and watch the Seahawks run the clock out on themselves at the end of each half. Everything about this game was disgusting to watch, officials, offenses, even the commercials sucked, and as much as I love the Rolling Stones even the halftime show sucked. Worst SB of all-time hands down.
I'm a long time Steelers fan currently living in Tacoma Washington. I've admitted to many of the locals that sb40 was a joke. no I'm not giving back the trophy but it was certainly an ugly victory.
None Defense, I wouldn’t ask the fans to give up the trophy, it’s yours no matter what.
Yes, the Steelers get help from NFL refs because it helps the NFL's brand. They are a popular team. But the Cowboys and Patriots get help too. Any high ratings team that is also widely hated gets the NFL bump occasionally. I wonder if its mandatory for NFL refs to have kids; when you have a family to worry about, its easier for the NFL to bribe (or scare?) potential snitches.
Never forget ... there are only three American sports that are legally classified as Sports Entertainment in America: Pro Wrestling, Roller Derby ... and NFL football. So legally the NFL is covered.
Super Bowl 40: There will NEVER be an NFL game with such terrible officiating again.
Entire 2018 Season: Lol, bet.
Jimmy Padrigan I don’t remember touchdowns being reversed for bias this season. I’m probably wrong though cause I only watch a few teams games
Yeah u should probably get ur facts right 😂
Eagles got the Dez rule completely overhauled mid superbowl somehow.. definitely was 2018 what a shit show.
Nfc championship 2013-14 over 10 bad calls there are many bad calls (49ers and Seahawks)

"But we can only hope that we'll never see officiating this bad ever again"
Let me introduce you to the 2019-2020 NFL season.
Watching the Patriots and Titans play right now.........It be interesting to see what happens if the Pats magically win.......
@@timandshannon03 thank god they lost
Nah man 2018-2019 refs even they screwed the saints over
I would have to say the 2019-2020 season was awful with officiating. Packers Seahawks game is a great example. Giving devante Adams the touchdown when he was short of the goal line and Jimmy Graham the first down when he was short and a few bogus penalties. Take the touchdown away and Seattle would have won.
@@billymartin4436 well the 1st yard line at the end of the game that the packers picked up was closer to the line then it appeared on tv and you guys also had 3 different chances to stop then on 3rd and long...js also im not even a packers fan i like the seahawks alot more
The call on Seattle QB making a tackle is mind blowing
Yet they didn’t call Big Ben on a low block on the trick play td...
Yeah but that and the horse collar just prior are the only 2 egregiously bad calls so far in the video. The rest were fine.
@@thelastremaininglogicallib9320 Gotta disagree in regards to the OPI call, you gotta remember that this game was played in 2005 & there was a significantly larger tolerance for contact between receivers & defenders. That wasn't offensive pass interference in 2005. However, the goal line play is inconclusive on replay.
Even if the OPI is still called, the Seahawks had time & were in position to stage a comeback during the later two penalties that we agree, were bad calls. I think that if those later two were made correctly the argument for the Seahawks winning that game is just as compelling as the one for the Steelers winning. Robbery.
@@brandonl2555 - Because he didn't go low, you moron. His first contact was shoulder bad to chest, and high on the chest.
@@thurston5173 - It was OPI. Pushed off the player, created separation, and prevented the defensive player from following. That's offensive PI in any year. You sometimes would see a player get away with more running or a push down the field, where both players continue in the same direction, but this is a play where the momentum of the movement was completely flipped, so it was more obvious.
What was most obvious was that he did it, literally, right in front of the stationary official, who had nothing else to do but look at him and see it.
When Holmgren, the Head of the Officiating Committee and Coach of Seattle says "I didn't know we were gonna have to play the guys in stripes as well" you know it was a terrible game by the Refs.
If you pay attention the announcers bias and how the penalties are being called will tell you who is suppose to win. As much as I enjoy watching the NFL, it's hard to overlook how often it looks rigged. Every year the Superbowl comes across more and more like the WWE.
Seattle was also one of the least-penalized teams in the league that year. Interesting that they finally won a Super Bowl when they got a coach who just assumed his team would accrue a higher rate of penalties.
“This has gotta be about SB XL” - me as I’m clicking on it
Bruuh same I was gonna be pissed if it wasn't
it was either the oakland raiders and bucs superbowl or this one
Still a spre loser
Holmgren deserved it after the way he screwed over the Packers.

Exactly Good News! Was like, this has to be Seattle-Pittsburgh
This game makes me LIVID. And mainstream media NEVER acknowledges just how egregious the officiating was.
Madden knew. He was completely nonplussed and taken out of countenance by just how blatantly out-of-line the officiating was. You could hear it in his voice and choice of words, but he was restraining himself at the same time, because that's what you're supposed to do as a professional when you're broadcasting live before millions -- you cannot just go all-in on blurting out what, as it happened, was painfully obvious.

Pittsburgh's first touchdown was pretty shady !
@@judynichols2904 true, but you can excuse it with some made up bull crap. The low block call on a tackle is looney! You have to be out of your mind to not discuss that as a group and reverse it
@@Ulsternial - It is a stupid RULE, but not wrong to call it. It's supposed to prevent a player from going low on blockers, which is what the QB did. The Steelers had it called on them early in the season, as well. Since the defender he first made contact with pulled back, it looked like it was probably a bad call, but what happened as a result? The Steelers scored a TD on a gadget play where Ward got behind the Seattle defense. All that call did was reduce his receiving yards total by 15.
@@AndyMatts44 it was a terrible call but nonetheless I’m guessing that play alone didn’t have much impact on the outcome. That’s like penalizing someone for almost making a block in the back but not touching the guy

Don't forget, the climate of the entire season was a media love affair send off for Jerome Bettis, his last season. I recall that it seemed as though every show leading up to the game was the media fawning over Bettis. As a Hawks fan, at our first ever SB, I felt a sinking feeling days before the game as the media's focus was only on Pitt and Bettis and were dismissive of Seattle and seemed to be already awarding another SB to the Steelers before the game was ever played. If this game wasn't outright fixed, it was certainly "influenced" in the minds of the refs and the ridiculous calls showed that bias.

Seahawks fans generally have two games they’re mad about.
Super Bowl XL
Super Bowl XLIX
They’re for different reasons, but for slightly older fans, XL just hurts more. XLIX was just a combo of bad play calling and a hall of fam-level defensive play when the win was on the line. Even though that game was a heartbreaker, fair and square from the eyes of a Seahawks fan.
Coaches throw games by making shitty calls. Andy Reid probably threw that game against the Bengals on Sunday by simply not running the ball. It's possible Darrell Bevall threw that game - I NEVER think anything is on the up and up if Brady is involved
We never should have given Brady the ball back. Malcolm Butler defense on the over-the -shoulder pass ended our drive…so MB won it for Pats earlier in the game. Should not have come down to the last mistake of the day…
that steelers game was just disgusting. ruined my enjoyment of football ever since.
I often wonder if the Seahawks QB during SB XLIX had been Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, etc. instead of Russ Wilson, if they'd have audibled or called time to change that pass play to Lynch for the win? At the time I didn't appreciate whomever referred to Russ Wilson as a "game manager", but dutifully running that pass play on the 1 suggests to me there is some truth to that assessment.
XL was far worse. And it wasnt just us.
The Refs apologized.
Refs: Block below the waist.
Qb: dude I was tackling him besides why would I block him when he is the ball carrier?
Refs: Go Steelers.
A case can be made for the refs winning all 6 Stealers SB games. From the blatantly obvious in the 70's , to the Bus' last game. Things like the ref Stepping between the Rams defender and Harris ( old " triple F Harris " Fat F*n Franco ) deliberately so he could got the last 50 yards on his touchdown run without incident. Or Ben's invisible sneak. And my personal " favourite " , the famous " toetap " on the last play of the SB against the Cardinals. Look at the replay. The Pittsburgh WR has 1 foot in, and the other foot ON TOP OF his other foot. It NEVER touched the turf. And like the Immaculate Deception, the NFL will go back and doctor or destroy every piece of existing footage to support the ref's alternate reality. The thing they can't do, is since 1972 we've had DVD's, VCR's and Blu Rays. And you can't go to everyone's home and wipe the recorders of millions of people. On and on. Since 1972, the NFL's film rooms have been choked by the sheer volume of blown calls and outright gifts from the refs to the Stealers with no sign of letup in sight.
@@grousetheghoul2754 you guys crack me up. You all ignore the bad calls the Steelers had overcome to get there. That is what champions do, they take the bad calls and work to win. There was a lot of bad calls against Pittsburgh in this game and Seattle fans are good at taking the attention off of themselves and their poor play.
@@macalicious0260 There is no such thing as a bad call against the Stealers. They have a trophy case full of Lombardis they stole because the ref either kissed their asses, or flat out gave them a BJ, because when you go way past asskissing, you have to call it someone else. There is no " bad call against the Stealers " Give back the Lombardis you stole with your pet refs, then talk to me about bad calls.

If I'm trying to determine the absolute worst referee decision in that game I would say it was the non-call on the horse collar tackle.
Agreed. It was almost the textbook case of why the horse collar tackle is illegal.
Everytime the Seahawks gained momentum, a blatant flag was suspiciously called on this game.
Exactly. It wasn’t just the calls, it’s when they occurred. Ouch

Why do you hate Bill Leavy? It's not his job to call offside fouls. His holding call was correct.

And why was a "late flag" not ripping across the field from ALL the other officials on the field????????? Was there a time limit?????? to pulling out the hanky by the other refs???????? I kept looking for the sanity...but no.........................
Refs didn't miss the call, THEY PURPOSELY DIDNT CALL EITHER PENALTY on that one play. Hopefully people stop saying that they missed it, that's what they want us to say!
Salty Saints fan spotted.
@@jhamlin726 u dumb ass bitch prob believe in Santa. I'm not a saints fan and if u think the refs didnt PURPOSELY not call those flags, u may as well stick to Nintendo. Refs favor one team or player almost every game. Grow up and realize life is about $. If sports were reffed fair, small markets would win more than they do and the league wouldnt make nearly as much $$
I'm a Steelers fan and even in the moment, I knew this game was fixed as hell.
It's refreshing to see an honest Steelers fan.
Bullshit that this game was fixed. Bad calls happen, it is part of the game. The Seahawks played poorly.
Not to mention they kept the seahawks in a game that should have been a blowout
There is so much give and take dude your reaching watch the whole game the seahawks should have never been in this game it was never close it should have been a blow.and not close and should have never been in the superbowl jake del homme i even as a steelers fan didnt want to.play the panthers and he has the worst game in history in nfc championship.amd.is.never heard of again after 5plus turnovers then the year we played the cardinals should have been.a.blowout and it ended similarly and the year against green bay should have won it id say more fixing against steelers and that when the nfl stops fixing games the steelers will win their seventh
@@anthonycameronnajera8471 There have been many games where teams have played poorly and still won the game. Bad calls happen - yes; It is part of the game - yes. But when these calls are mostly one sided, as was the case here, it's very clear what the league is trying to do - fix the game.
Don't underestimate the power of a referee to turn over the game to benefit one team & penalize the other. It can make or break the team chances of winning or losing.
Just like last year's Superbowl
And many many more. One buzzard always attracts another.
As a Seahawks fan, I can tell you that we will never get over this one. It's one thing to lose straight up like we did against the Pats, but to get screwed by the refs to the point where they ADMIT IT, WTF?!
The Seattle Seahawks vs. the Pittsburgh Asterisks. I agree as another Hawks fan.
@@GamePro0012 The only clearly bad call was the Hasselbeck low block.
Jackson's OPI was as blatant as it gets. Full arm extension to push a defender backwards followed by breaking in the opposite direction. Plus doing it right in front of the official? No doubt OPI.
Locklear was legal initially but started holding as Haggans got by him. Locklear hooked Haggans's right shoulder.
The potential horse-collar may have been missed, but it may have been a jersey grab, which was legal at the time.
@@hbk314 Typical Steelers fan here. Look more closely at the plays, and you'll see that the Hawks were held to a much higher standard than the Steelers. In other words, the Steelers got away with penalties that should've been called, while the Hawks received a lot of phantom penalties. I hope you're a true fan and not a bandwagon fan.
Oh yeah, and Bill Leavy himself, the referee for Super Bowl XL*, admitted to having blown calls. Clearly you didn't watch the entire video, because you want to believe the Steelers won the game fairly.
@@GamePro0012 What "phantom calls" are you referring to?
@@hbk314 They're in the video. Look closely.
Personal rule of thumb - if gambling is involved, it's rigged.
Do you realize you can gamble on professional wrestling? Now you’re probably gonna tell me THAT is fixed too
7:07 What i found strange about the "block below the waste" was that is was called on the team that didn't have the ball. Why would a defender try to block? But wait it gets better at 7:36! Look at ben Roethlisberger making a block the same way that Hasselbeck made the "TACKLE below the waste"
Super-bowel 55 was rigged! For the entire first half the referees throw flags that kept giving the Bucks first downs, which led the Bucs to score so many points in the first half. The referees also ignored the pass-interference that the Bucks committed on the Chiefs in the first half. Then there was a 15 yard penalty called for a Chiefs falling down accidentally and barley bumping a Buck's leg-this was enforced in the 2nd half against the Chiefs as a 15 year penalty. Plus with less than a minute left in the second quarter the Chiefs head coach Andy Reid called two time outs while the Bucks whom had the ball where out of time outs, why? Why would Andy Reid give Brady more time to push the ball up the field and score? Which is exactly what happened. Even I know that with time running out, you don't call time out and help your opponent score another touchdown-this was an incredibly stupid move by the Chiefs, but it was scripted that way. Also notice how in the second half the referees no longer where calling pass interference on the Chief's cornerbacks, since the damage to the Chiefs had already been done in the first half. All of a sudden the Chief's fix that problem that was killing them in the first half? Why didn’t they fix that problem in the first quarter? Why where they playing like amateurs? The Chiefs did not play like the Chiefs, as they never even scored a touchdown, with a series of dropped catches that Chief's receivers usually make, the receivers failed to be effective! Where was the Chief's offense? Where was the speed, the skill, the touch-downs that the Chiefs usually score? Where was the fire? All of a sudden they get to the most important game of the year and they can't even play football, yea right! This whole thing was rigged!
@@kingdonkilluminati7631 It was nowhere near “rigged” the chiefs were holding all season and it was finally getting called. The reason they lost is because mahomes was the only one that went out there and tried. His O-line left him running for his life. It’s not because it was rigged it was because he was the only one to go out there and play.
@@kingdonkilluminati7631 no disagreement but Andy Reid has been a clock mismanaging guru since Philly

@@VaronTheUnbelievable At least you admitted it
Same. I’ve maintained for years that the NFL has an east coast bias. When a west coast team wins it all, they are leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. Teams like the Patriots haven’t had that burden.
Andy, let me give you some west coast examples. Raiders: Destroyed their opponents in all 3 Super Bowls they played in. 49ers: Destroyed 3 of 5 opponents in Super Bowls they won. Both were leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the NFL. Ok. Maybe not the 1980 Raiders. The 49ers: 13-3 in 1981. 15-1 in 1984 (first team to win 18 games). 14-2 in 1989, and had the reputation of being the absolute best team in the NFL. The Seahawks in 2013...13-3, and again...destroyed their opponent. Flip side. The LA Rams...in 1979, not leaps and bounds ahead of anyone. Lost to Pittsburgh. 2018....same story. Lost to the Patriots. The Niners in 12 and Hawks in 14, not leaps and bounds ahead of the league. Lost the Super Bowl. Patriots...won the vast majority of their Super Bowls by a field goal. Game could have gone either way. Steelers...you saw the video. A few calls go Dallas’s way, and the Cowboys were the team of the 70s. Buffalo...went to 4, lost to NFC East opponents. East coast teams have won more Super Bowls than any other region.

hbk314 you must be a stealers fan. I just hope you and all the players and coaches on the roster for the stealers in Superbowl 40 are proud of getting a championship they didn't earn... The refs gave it to them.
@@andreneyens8912 How exactly did they give it to them? This video is supposed to be showcasing bad calls. It only found one.
IMO, when the ref said, many years later, that he will go to his grave regretting it... That's him admitting it was fixed. I know refs take pride in what they do but I doubt he'd still feel that guilty about a couple of bad calls he made years ago, even in a big game like that. I'm not a fan of the Seahawks but truth is truth and everything about that game including the events leading up to it, screams "FIXED!!!"
He actually only said he regretted TWO calls late game, that would be the holding and the illegal block. And the holding would have only been offsetting, since it was clearly holding, but a Steeler might have had a finger offsides on the play.
@@RagnarokMic Yes, I said, "a couple". A couple IS "TWO". He's implying here that ALL of the refs were in on it. It would be too obvious if one ref made all of the bad calls. However, I know what you're getting at... Any ref can make two bad calls in a game. But my point is, if they were HONEST mistakes, even in a big game, I doubt he'd be saying years later, "Ill go to my grave regretting it". That's like saying ... I carry it with me or it haunts me.
But it's when you add that to all the other evidence... There were MANY bad calls and ALL in the Steelers favor. And it looks even worse when the city of Detroit was going Pittsburgh crazy before hand. They even gave Jerome B. the key to the city a few days before the game. Just that alone looks HORRIBLE! Hosting cities should never do things like that!
I promise you, game fixing is done more than you can imagine, esp in championship games. I believe it's even for political reasons sometimes. But hey, we can agree to disagree. Cheers
@@t-boog2173 Except those two calls were the only bad calls in the game. And it's easy to make a ref regret something by berating them about bad calls, with his personal calls actual being questionable. Plus it's Levy, who has a history of controversial calls.
The other 5 calls (as there were only 7 flags against them in the entire game) are certifiable and backed as correct by video evidence. People can deny the OPI all they like, but it's clear as day.
Maybe they fixed the game, but that would mean the Seahawks were in on the fix, because it was them underperforming that lost them the game. They shanked FG's, they turned the ball over, they committed the penalties. One thing is certain, refs don't fix a game by 2 bad calls.
@@RagnarokMic A man regretting two SELF ADMITTED bad calls to the point that he'll 'GO TO HIS GRAVE' regretting it, is COMPLETELY different than feeling bad because people have unfairly berated you. You're talking silliness there bro. The man not only admits those two calls were wrong, he said, "it left me with A LOT of sleepless nights... I think about it CONSTANTLY". He said he'll always wish he"d done better. (That's called regret)
Also, Seattle's "poor performance" was mostly the RESULT of all those bad calls. How can a team perform well when the officials keep stealing your momentum, big gains, and points? Like the "pushing off" call on Jackson's crucial first quarter touchdown. That was a bad call and cost Seattle 4 points, and a lot of momentum.
Btw, There were several bad calls against Seattle, not just two, and at least one bad "no call" on the obvious horse collar tackle. On top of all that, the stadium was filled with Steelers fans and all of Detroit had Steeler fever.
Bottom line, I believe Superbowl XL was "Seattle vs Pittsburgh & the town of Detroit & the Refs & 80% Steelers fans. Whether the game was fixed or not doesn't change the fact that Detroit was CLEARLY supporting the Steelers and there were bad calls made that CLEARLY went in favor of the Steelers. So anyway you skin it, Seattle got a raw deal. But hey, believe whatever you like. It's just a game anyway. Feel free to have the last word and God Bless!
@@t-boog2173 Literally 5 of the 7 flags against Seattle are objectively correct. Like Jackson clearly pushing off, he both knocks the defender backwards and uses it to cut. Called 9 times out of 10. Jackson cost them 4 points, not the refs, his fault. Shouldn't have obviously and blatantly pushed off, then again, had he not, the defender might have been in position to pick it, as he was pursuing that direction (until I guess he decided to random hop backwards rather than continue that direction, as would be the only alternative to a pushoff). And committing penalties was part of their poor performance, refs didn't tell them to commit those 6 penalties. But like I said, give him that free TD, they still lose. It was 4 flags to 7, just the Steelers didn't commit theirs on as big of plays.
One guy regretting the two calls will never change that, and if people weren't absolute bags of shit and didn't send death threats over calls whether true or imagined, he'd have slept better..
I remember the horrible officiating in Super Bowl 40. I bet on that Seahawks in that game and I was pissed off!

It's so funny how packers fans still say he never caught the ball; no reasoning other than being a packers fan.

When they called a 15 yard penalty on their QB (Hasselback) for a low block when he is trying to tackle the the guy who intercepted his pass, I knew it was fixed. Roethlisberger actually throw a low block after a hand off on an end around play by the Steelers soon after that in the video. No call.

Row For LSU: yea but this game was more rigged. They created flags that didnt exist to takeaway a good 14-17pts from seattle. Im a NE fan not seattle but even i know this crap was fixed.
Even before I clicked on this video, I knew you were talking about this game. I wasn't rooting for any team, just for some good football, it was painfully clear the game was rigged for the Steelers.
I was rooting for a good game as well. When the Seahawks got called for the offensive pass interference penalty in the first quarter, there was something that told me that this game was going to go south for Seattle very quickly. I didn't even really think about the officiating until some time later, as at the time I thought it was just a botched call, but looking back on it now, I do have to wonder. I guess my memory wasn't that good at the time, or I am not as attentive to things as I wish I was.
I don't know, I am not really sure I would want to win a Super Bowl like this. I mean, how do you think the players from the 1919 Cincinnati Reds felt about winning the World Series when they discovered that the fix was in?
