It was like watching Al Qaeda battle the Nazis (or Michigan vs. Notre Dame) ...compelling competition, but impossible to root for either side to win. And as expected, everyone involved handled themselves with class. Belichick looked like he climbed out from under a refrigerator box. Rodney Harrison taunted the other teams head coach (!). Billick, of course, taunted right back with his kissing act. Bart Scott racks up 30 yards of penalties in one play, including heaving an officials flag toward the stands. And the penalties...ooohhh the penalties. Watson was held on the one play, but that ball was thrown into double coverage and he wasn't catching it - hold or no hold. Gaffney's TD had to stand, but had it been ruled incomplete on the field, it wouldn't have been overturned. One of those plays right on the fence. Here's what nobody is talking about - the referee was completely out of position to see whether or not Gaffney had possession of the ball.
