Honestly I didn't see Mike McCarthy comments nearly as bad as some of you, because he was asked why he was upset.... he answered directly, honestly and shortly... it wasn't like Pete Carroll going point by point by point on every single thing.

He was asked why he was so worked up, he said he was upset because he thought the Refs missed something. The comment about playing above the officiating wasn't needed by it's what he as a coach would say to his players and probably what he did say to his players and he was in coach mode.

It's like Richard Sherman last year talking smack about Crabtree on the field... he was still in players mode.

If you don't want to hear the players and coaches in their natural environment then don't bring an interviewer and camera person into their wild plains of a grass juggle. And especially don't interview them less than 2 minute after the action stop.

Only thing I have to say is very very very seldom almost never, is a false start missed, so it is something you expect to get called every time. Unlike other penalties.

The problem is that the refs are trying to keep it close, to maximize tv ratings. If they genuinely called a fair game, people wouldn't become so indignant.

How many times has Mike McCarthy kept his mouth shut when there was obvious bad calls? Many times.
So he spoke his mind. So what's the big deal?
