and anyway, the point of my post was that, even if it's relatively unlikely that the game is fixed, given the circumstances and the history of sports betting in this country, it's far from retarded.

FWIW I didn't even see the game, but I agree its possible. Super Bowl XL...<cough> <cough>

I'm still pissed nothing more was made out of that game. I remember ESPN.com did a pole on whether or not you thought the officiating was biased towards Pittsburgh. They then mapped the results based on location. The only area where the "No"s won out was Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
