Where were they then?
Kevin Blackistone, Dallas Morning News on ESPN's "Around the Horn": "Now let's stop this whining going on with the Seattle fans. The litmus test for this is the fact when you talk to the Seattle Seahawks after the game, they didn't talk about the referees. They talked about problems they had of their own making."
J.A. Adande, Los Angeles Times on ESPN's "Around the Horn": "The officiating contributed to the outcome. It did not determine the outcome. The bottom line is Seattle still had the ball in the fourth quarter with a chance to take the lead and Hasselbeck threw that interception. Yeah. There were some questionable things. I've never seen a holding call where a guy only uses one hand. I don't even know if it's possible to hold a defender with one hand. They did call that. They were blowing things all night. But Seattle, the Seahawks were the ones blowing things even worse."
Jay Mariotti, Chicago Sun-Times on ESPN's "Around the Horn": "When Kelly Herndon intercepts that ball and runs it back, I thought Seattle was going to win the football game. And all those calls pretty much came before that so you can't sit here and say Seattle lost because of the penalties."

Where are they now?
Kevin B. Blackistone @ProfBlackistone
Lol! Yes, even that USA USSR basketball debacle doesn't look so bad in retrospect either
J.A. Adande @jadande
NBA survived Donaghy. NFL will get over this ref mess.

Headline@USATODAY: Replacement refs blow gamehttp://usat.ly/Qg5XVZ Stop watching, folks. This league isn't worth your time
This is what makes me angry, not the calls, the arrogance of the ignorant bastards. When we told you the refs were blowing the games you all said, "Meh."
So now when you whine I say, "Meh."
