My condolences to the family and racing team. At least he was doing what he loved up to the last…Read More minute of his short life. The bay waters can be very treacherous to even the most experienced sailors regardless of the boat they are in. Fair winds and following seas from here on. RIP Andrew Simpson.

The bay waters still should not be the cause of that accident. They are world class sailors used to…Read More sailing in more rough waters and totally open seas, the weather is probably not the main factor. Tragic for the team and his family. Even if you're an avid sailor being trapped underwater is not the way to go!

@seafoamsue The world lost a champion sailor yesterday. My condolences to Simpson's family and crew.…Read More
@Kim It's hard to say what happened out there. Some of my friends don't like catamarans because they say they don't take green water over the bow very well. Add speed into the mix and things get very dangerous.

The game was very entertaining for fans of both teams. That is why you watch. The 49ers played like…Read More a young team. Flashes of brilliance and moments of stupidity. The non-calls by the refs changed the ebb and flow. Their performance was pathetic and that is supposed to be the 'best' ref crew the NFL has to offer. Bad calls and non-calls never even out. I expect to see the game played by the rules.
I am not sure what the ultimate outcome would have been if it was properly officiated but it most definitely would not have been the same game I watched. What a disgraceful display by the NFL on their biggest stage.

Palomar,
Well said comment!
There should have been an early pass-interference call on the 49ers as…Read More well.
If the refs had been making calls in the early game, players would have had to play by the rules throughout. Instead they let there be numerous late whistles and late hits (where one guy had the runner stopped with a tackle and then other guys were allowed to hit him--very physically dangerous and with game-changing possibilities of injuries and fumbles) and also over aggressive shoving/fighting after the point (mostly started by the Ravens).
I thought the officiating was poor and changed the nature of the game.
Wasn't this almost the fewest penalty calls that these teams have EVER had? (I'd like to hear those statistics.) Did these teams change that much from their previous season play that they now weren't doing penalties? I doubt it.
