The Super Bowl naturally dominated the morning papers and the talk around town today. Headlines played off the disappointing outcome in various ways: "XL Letdown" in the P-I, where Art Thiel's front-page take was engagingly harsh; "Not this year" in the Times, "Motown Meltdown" in the TNT, etc.
I'd expect even more tomorrow on the officiating. I heard a lot of conspiracy theorists today, which I find astonishing. Some bad calls, sure. But can anybody seriously think that the NFL told the refs to rig the game for the Steelers? That's what several otherwise balanced home-town fans had to say.
A decent riff on the refs appeared in Slate.
And if you can't get enough of the Seattle's-a-nice-place theme, here's a Washington Post story from game day.
