The Steelers won the Super Bowl, but Arizona's late rally almost nabbed the Cardinals the victory.
You have to admit, however, that as the final quarter opened my prediction was pretty on the mark....for whatever pittance that's worth.
The Steelers would have felt like they let one get away after leading for most of the game until Fitzgerald's long touchdown run. And even though he lost, I believe the game cemented Kurt Warner as a Hall of Fame QB....and I hoped a class act like Larry Fitzgerald would have been rewarded with a ring.
Big Ben's now won two Super Bowls...the same number as John Elway. But ask any GM which player they'd want, and there wouldn't be any real debate. Ah, well. Roethlisberger's still young and could add more rings to his total.
Then again, they said Marino would be back many times after the 49ers throttled the Dolphins back in '84, and he never returned. Only time will reveal that answer.
Me too... despite my relentless mocking of the "baseball team" on Twitter, that was a really close game.
ReplyDeleteAlas, we missed a good chunk of the game when we left the in-laws' place (had to get the kiddo to bed) during the third when it was 20-7, and jokingly told them "Yeah, call us if the Cards make a comeback."
Imagine our surprise when we got the call...
No mention of the 3D glasses or Koala bear punching? :)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. The 3D glasses added a ..... new perspective..... to the festivities. It may have been more fun to watch the game with the 3D glasses on than the commercials.
ReplyDeleteBut who wants to punch a Koala bear??? That's ..... well, I'm not sure we can say it's unAmerican. But surely it has to be unAustralian!
