So who wins the Big Game today?

I agree, I was happy that the refs stayed out of most of the game until the end. It was fun to watch without the "holding and interference " penalties during the whole game. I wish it would have been decided on the field and not helped by the ref.

What the $%^&^ happened to the Eagles ?

ended it up being a great game

The call was a correct call but they should have let it play thru.

The worst part is the rioting and damage being caused in PHIlly now. That is what ruins it the most.

Riots when they win and riots when they lose. Then there are these assholes who don't need any reason to riot at all.

I didn't see anything about rioting and damage happening in Philly after the Super Bowl last night. Can you provide any links to what you are referring to?

From the video link, I'm not sure I would call that rioting. Most of what could be seen looked pretty calm with people just walking around and a few climbing poles (not sure why that is so popular in Philly). There's always going to be a number of drunken idiots getting arrested win or lose. In looking at local reporting from Philly, I didn't see any mention of any large scale problems. The link below talks about 14 arrests which probably is no worse than a normal night in a lot of major cities.

"There were some incidents of vandalism, but for the most part the crowds were not rowdy.

However, SkyForce10 did capture a brief clash between a large group of Philadelphia bicycle police officers and a group of people along Broad Street.

Philadelphia police later revealed to NBC10 that one officer was injured, but refused medical treatment. At least one person was arrested for assaulting a police officer.

Besides the assault arrest, two other people were arrested on misdemeanors and 11 were arrested for disorderly conduct during the evening, police told NBC10."

Very odd that there's a such an entrenched thing in Philly to go nuts and act like buffoons in relation to sports events. Obviously happens all over the world, but I've lived in NYC, Boston and Chicago and don't recall it being such a constant. Stupidity happens everywhere, but it's not a source of civic pride.
