Two weeks on ...

I just posted this over at that Sea PI fourm I mentioned previously ...

I'm not over it, and I'm not getting over it. But, sadly, I'm becoming resigned to the fact there's not going to be any consequences for the criminals in this fiasco.

Len Pasquarelli's comment about the CBA ends any optimism I might've had about a fair inquest:

"The NFL is, after all, a deadline league. Historically, very little has been achieved until the 11th hour and until a shotgun is figuratively pointed at someone's head."

Do you reckon anyone is holding a shotgun at the NFL's head regarding the Super Bowl officiating? Seriously, not even Paul Allen money is going to budge this rock at the moment.

I think the most we can do now is support any journalists who refer to it. Send them thank-you emails, share their links with other fans, maybe even give them ideas for stories (like that great T-Man protest at Sea PI).

And keep the debate alive come September. EVERY football fan knows it could've been their team on the day. It just happened to be the Seahawks.

Maybe one day this will all add up to a shotgun-sized protest. Maybe.
