If you follow the NFL, then you know that pass interference is different this
year.  A defender can virtually decapitate a receiver and get away with it,
if (now pay attention) HE IS MAKING A PLAY ON THE BALL. Otherwise, it's
interference.  Steve Watson and Mike Harden understand this rule.  Apparently
you and Dwight Hicks do not.

You should be as ashamed of this kind of sour grapes as I am ashamed of that
fan.  There were 145 plays run from scrimmage, 15 punts, plus assorted kickoffs
and field goal attempts.  The outcome could have turned any one of them.  I
don't think that one snowball and 5 (count them, only 5) penalties decided
this game.

Face it, Pal, the 49ers were beaten fair and square, in a tough game, by the
better team.

Because you had more money on the game than most? :-)
