This is such an over hyped story,But a Seahawks fan,Bitter that his team did not win Super Bowl XL,Wrote a letter to Dan Rooney complaining about the Steelers victory,And is selling said letter on EBAY.I will comment on each section of this letter.
Like many long-time die hard Seattle Seahawks fans, on February 5th, 2006 I was flabbergasted that the NFL and Bill Leavy’s officiating crew in Super Bowl XL would so deliberately play favorites to the Pittsburgh Steelers, effectively eliminating any chance that the Seahawks had of winning that championship game.
OK,Die hard Seahawks fan?That's a joke.Well there are a ton of things to debate in just the first paragraph,Flabbergasted?If you were really upset, i think pissed off works SO much better. And for the 999,999TH time,THE REFS DIDN'T WIN THE GAME ASSHOLE!!!How much of that shitty Seattle fish are you eating to think that the refs,Camera crews,Players,And the Commissioner could be in a plan to "screw" the Seahawks out of this game?Next paragraph
Within a week of the game, I had written a five-page letter to then NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue carefully detailing the many bad calls that had gone against the Seahawks for imaginary penalties, and the non-calls that had been ignored for the Steelers all game long in a transparent effort to prevent the Seahawks from winning the game. I also attached a number of newspaper articles and editorials that expressed outrage over the officiating to further bolster my case. I copied the letter to Seahawks owner Paul Allen and Steelers owner Dan Rooney.
I'm sure it took you a week to figure out how to actually string words together,And make complete sentences,Imaginary penalties?Oh so the Seahawks didn't do anything wrong the entire game?I mean other the not showing up?Where is Paul Allen's copy of the letter?I'm sure he burned his without even worrying about replying to such a shit eating knuckle dragger.At least Mr Rooney replied.In his replies he should have started with,Dear asshole.But alas he didn't. Next Paragraph
Lo and behold just a couple weeks later I received a personal reply from Dan Rooney himself, which was copied to Commissioner Tagliabue, attempting to refute my concerns about the officiating. Mr. Rooney wrote, in part: “You are something special -- you watch a TV broadcast of Super Bowl XL with all the interruptions, camera locations, replays, and now know more than anyone else in America on what was wrong with the officiating.” Wow! I guess I really got his attention and got under his skin! Mr. Rooney goes on to supplement the letter with a two-page 20-point explanation of why the Steelers “really” did outplay the Seahawks for the Lombardi Trophy
I really wish Dan would have said "You are a complete fucking moron with way too much time on your hands" instead of "You are something special"Special is correct though,I'm sure you ride that "special"bus to work and school don't ya?Next
For Steelers fans, this would be a great acquisition to show your beloved owner giving the business to an uppity Seahawks fan who was complaining about the Super Bowl XL officiating. For Seahawks fans, this would likewise be a great acquisition conclusively demonstrating the insecurity of the Steelers over their supposed “win.”
You know why it would be a great addition?Someone could wipe their ass with the copy of your letter,And hang the Rooney letter showing he has a place in his heart for the special people.Supposed win?Last time I checked,The Steelers have the Lombardi Trophy in their case,What do you have? You have 4 years of being bitter and angry because your team did not show up.
Don't give me any shit,Stevens couldn't catch a cold(Even though he said he was going to rack up huge numbers)Alexander did not do anything,And this was the year before he started his breakdown tour. Holgrem was out coached,And the Seahawks were outplayed,Plain and simple. I enjoy reading how Pittsburgh always cheats.Amazing how you can win 5(Coming soon 6)Super Bowl trophies,And it's all from cheating.
I am going to make my Super Bowl picks later this week.Although I know I am going to root for my Steelers,Not sure of the score yet.See,Unlike some fans If my team loses I don't cry saying we got screwed by the refs calls.And you can guarantee next week at this time if the Steelers in fact lose,I will not be saying the refs wanted the Cards to win,No I will tell you they won the game by playing better,And by being coached better.Now I wish other fans could just learn to use that kind of sense.

Mike,You really need to let this go.
You won,who gives a shit what some guy with zero credibility thinks about the game.
He is a dolt and a sore loser.
The officating in that game was bad,undeniably bad,but nothing could be done then or now.
Big difference between bad and corrupt though.
I am sure that if you looked around there is a game that Steeler fans are still bitching about.
Take the win and move on,it isnt like Seattle has the history that the Steelers do,Hawk fans have little tradition,they are trying to build it and stories (good and bad) are what helps in doing that.
