I get a kick out of the post game "predictions". Our son is in New Zealand and called to say that since it was Monday there he could tell us who won the game. HA HA
Reminds me of my dear Uncle Ed and Aunt June who set up a betting room at a SF bay area hotel back in the fifties. They had some local players in to place bets up to the last minute results from the broadcast radio. Meanwhile, my aunt was in the parking lot at Bay-Meadows with binoculars on the finish line. Two blocks away they had a pay phone marked "out of order" with an open connection to my Uncle (later an elder) at the hotel. They would lay down last second bets even before it had been called over the radio.
Years later my wife and I took them to see "The Sting", which they enjoyed immensly.

Super Bowl Predictions ? - The real score Baltimore 34 San Francisco 31. What the true score should have been if referees call obvious pass interference on Ravens Smith on 49ers final throw, giving S.F. 4 more shots at the end zone. San Francisco 36 Baltimore 34. Casinos and bookies made out on this Super bowl

UNSTOPPABBLE- Yeah, really. Defenders can touch a receiver within 5 yards of scrimmage, but after entering the end zone Smith shouldn't have had his arms around him. Yeah Crabtree barely touched Smith, but Smith had a freaking bearhug going on Crabtree. There were other no-calls througout the game on both sides for sure, it just seemed to me that Baltimore got the benefit of those no-calls much, much more than the niners.
I give great credit to Flacco, he was really Joe Cool in the first half and he didn't make turnovers. Kaepernick did and it cost him . And the fact that our special teams defense sucked on your guys kickoff return. I heard on the radio that replays show there was some holding by the Ravens on that run, but since the refs were letting everybody bludgeon everybody why call it ? LOL ! It was an exciting Super Bowl, I give credit to the Ravens, I'm just dissapointed with the refereeing - I felt it should have been called tighter and should have been better. We'll get back hopefully next year. Who knows ? May be a rematch with the Ravens ? They looked good as well. Essentially we dug ourselves too big a hole to overcome in the first half, although I think we really overcame it- we just weren't allowed to fully overcome it

I predict that the Ravens will win. The final score will be totally meaningless.

remember when the cry-babies were crying over the replacement referees??
The union was claiming that experience on the "real" referees was "key"?
