Santonio Holmes and Larry Fitzgerald remind me a lot of myself, great hands, catlike agility and blazing speed.
The Steelers should have gone for the TD on the first drive.
James Harrison, another guy with BTResque dominance, should have been the MVP, he pwn3d the left tackle all day and got several key holding penalties plus the 100 yard int return that was really the key to the Steelers' victory.
Though I prefer not to watch halftime shows, I caught the part where that bleeding heart liberal Springsteen was singing "Glory Days." He modified the lyrics to remove the fictitious "speedball" with "hail mary" which made his America-loathing somewhat more bearable, barely.

Kurt Warner's wife MILFage factor increased when she grew out her hair. +1, couldn't agree more. At first I thought he had a new woman. |

I disagree Harrison should have been the MVP. Anyone who gets caught punching another player during the game disqualifies himself, in my book at least, from being MVP for the game.
I think the right guy got MVP, though Warner certainly deserved it, even though he played for the losing team.

Rewatch the tape - always the second guy who gets called. |

The dude came up big when it mattered. Could have gone for Big Ben also. I don't know why but I really found myself pulling for Arizona after half-time. The Steelers are great, have been great for a long time, probably will be great for a long time. I think this was Arizona's "shot" so to speak and it will be a while before we see them in there again. |

I can't believe they called a fumble on the last AZ possession. That was not a fumble, and those asshole refs denied the world the opportunity of seeing Warner loft a pass to the endzone to Fitzgerald and Boldin versus the entire back 8 of Pittsburgh.
We fucking deserved to see that play. Fuck off and die, bush-league refs.

That may be true BTR. I'll be sure and rewatch the tape.
And I couldn't agree more thunder. Fumble or no fumble, a more satisfying end to the Super Bowl is a hail mary. Let the players determine it rather than a 50/50 call.

There were some shitty calls, but I thought that last call was the right one. In order for it to be a forward pass, you have to have control of the ball as your arm is coming forward. I thought it was pretty clear that it was coming out as his arm was in the back swing.
...although I too would have like to see one last hurl to the endzone.

Looks like Arizona viewers were given a little extra. www.bannedinhollywood.com/arizona-residents-fed-hardcore-porn-during-super-bowl-xliii/Seconds after Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald scored on a touchdown pass from Kurt Warner to put the birds in the lead, Tucson, Arizona based Comcast Cable subscribers expected an end-zone dance but received a money shot.
Officials at the cable provider’s headquarters explained that 30 seconds of full-frontal male pornography from Club Jenna, an adult cable television channel, were shown on the local Super Bowl telecast to families and children of all ages–a scarring that will surely confuse young boys into believing that every time Larry Fitzgerald scores, massive white cocks will be pulled out of jeans and tossed around like thundersticks at Los Angeles Lakers games. |

Here's Warner's "fumble". The Cards should have had another play.

It did get propelled forward, but he in know way had possession of the ball when his arm was coming forward. I won't argue with wanting see another play though. It was somewhat anticlimactic. |

Either way, HOW DO YOU NOT REVIEW THAT PLAY?
Although the officiating was shitty at best through the whole game, that one non-action leads me to think the fucking fix really WAS in, and not just a figment of BTR's imagination.

Although the officiating was shitty at best through the whole game, that one non-action leads me to think the fucking fix really WAS in, and not just a figment of BTR's imagination. The Cardinals still covered the spread. There were shitbag calls both ways. First, Warner took his helmet off to protest the alleged fumble in the first half that was later overturned. Was he flagged? NO. Second, Fitzgerald's first touchdown clearly hit the ground on his way down. Of course, Pitt didn't review it, so whatevs. Third, Harrison got hit in the nuts. Not called. Fourth, there sure as shit was not definitive video evidence sufficient to overturn Big Ben's first TD. BS call. Fifth, I will concede the roughing the passer call was total BS. There were plenty of shitty calls to go around. That Haley douche running Arizona's offense is probably dumber than O'Kweefe. No check that, he is dumber. When you are at the 2 yard line and you don't throw 3 fades in a row to Larry Fitzgerald you deserve to lose. Slants are very dangerous against that Pitt base 3-4, don't call them on the goaline. |

Oh, and once again boys and girls: Prevent defense prevents victories. Always. Not to mention the prevent offense. The Steelers really went deep into a shell towards the end of the game - throw the freaking rock. Go for the heart. I've seen O'Kweefe do that so many times only to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It seems like with the level of talent at QB in the NFL or big time D-1 college, you're almost better off being down a point or two and having the ball with 2 minutes left than you are being up a point or two and being on defense. |

What "prevent defense?"
Certainly not the Cardinals. On that last drive, they rushed a minimum of 5 guys as the brought the blitz on EVERY down.
I heard a stat today that Big Ben had a QB rating of 110+ when the Cardinals brought the heat, and when they rushed only 3 or 4, Big Ben's rating dropped down to 56 points.
This may have been the one time where the prevent defense might have actually worked.

This may have been the one time where the prevent defense might have actually worked. They should have covered the fucking receivers, especially the only one healthy enough to burn them. Rothlesberger, really, is only good when he's scrambling. So you better put him on his ass if you're gonna blitz him. Poor Warner. He's left the field tied or ahead in each Superbowl, only to watch his defense cave like crackwhores in a cocaine factory (he should thank Jesus especially hard for Mike Jones). And you've got chinless, biceps-challenged fuckdweebs like John Clayton saying he needs to "win" the game to get into Canton. Guess what, goatfucker, he did "win" the game, before his defense went out and lost it. And he'll be in Canton regardless, since statistically speaking he's a better Superbowl QB than anyone currently in the Hall of Fame. This game, and Norm Parker's bend-and-sometimes-break defense, remind me why I so often loathe spectator sports...because I'm a fucking spectator, and I can't go in there and knock the shit out of somebody. I'd much rather take on a badass mogul field than sit in front of a TV and hope that some other guys don't fuck up my day. |

The final play needed to be reviewed officially (that means Pittsburgh doesn't get to down the ball 30 seconds after the Warner play). Given all of the ridiculous shit that is reviewed in NFL games, the fact this play didn't get an official booth review (in the traditional sense) is ridiculous.

Here's a quasi rhetorical question: If it had been the Pittsburgh QB who had "fumbled" while his arm was propelling the ball forward instead of the Arizona QB, do you think the replay officials would have stopped play (i.e. a fucking kneel-down) to review it? I think we all know the answer to that. |

Would have been a very interesting ending if the Cards got the ball around the 50 which would have been the case if they had to kick off from the 15. |
