If you watch the replay of that play.....notice that when the center snapped the ball the offensive line was in sync with the snap...it was Manning who was out of sync. That mess was totally Manning fault.

I can't believe they're actually investigating if this game was rigged.

You should preface this that it is from a well known satire site, not what I would call a legitimate news source.

According to its disclaimer at the bottom of the page, Huzlers “is a combination of real shocking news and satire news to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief.” However, the vast majority–if not all–of the articles on the website are fake.

It's everywhere! Just type into Google "Superbowl rigged" And a lot of stuff comes up. They seem to think that Seattle paid Denver off to lose.

But the website that started the rumor is known for making up stories.

Scuse me. The QB calls the snap. How can the QB be "out of sync"?

Romo called it before the game. "Denver will be mauled physically and mentally in this game." Man, Broncos could sure use a presence like his on both sides of the ball.

All teams need it. If the balance people like to claim is ever to be, all teams need some degree of a physical presence.

why does everybody (at least that I know) feel this was worse than the 55-10 blowout to San fran...I don't get it? Its not like the Broncos have a better QB than back then. Ill take Elways skills over Mannings Skills any day of the week. Seems to me expectations would have been higher then. Please comment.

Actually it isn't worse. But it was shocking and different than almost anyone expected. I saw many experts on TV guessing the final score, but I did not see one which predicted a score this lopsided.

My wife: Perhaps based on there 3 huge losses in the Superbowl, they should be the Denver Blow-Outs.

It's not a surprise that this one would feel worse.

Denver had a worse record (11-5) than the 49ers (14-2) and played unimpressively in the playoffs that year. SF came in as a double-digit favorite, and nobody expected Denver to win.

This year Denver had a record setting offense, led by one of the greatest QB's to ever play the game. They were a slight favorite, and got absolutely destroyed.
