Congrats Vizzle, that was a nice win.

WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!! 6x Super Bowl Champs baby!!!!! What a fucking game....holy crappola. Un-fucking-real!

Hell of a game. Right when I thought we had it wrapped up, the Cards came back....took the lead (though I still had hope, given that the Cards scored with so much time left on the clock)....but of course, in the end, Big Ben struck midnight & Cinderella's story was over! Damn near gave me a heart attack, I lost my voice, but that game is proof positive why they play 60 minutes instead of 58.

I think Ben probably should have been the MVP given how he kept extending plays & drove them to the winning TD, but the final score is all that mattered to me (and him, I'm sure)!

I've been a Steelers fan since the day I was born. My mother was and is a big Steelers fan & she raised my brother and myself up right! The Steelers won their 1st 4 Super Bowls when I was a kid (last of the 4 when I was about 8), and I was starting to wonder how much longer I was going to have to wait. Now it's been 2 in 4 seasons! Makes all the suffering I have had to endure the past 16 years as a Pirates fan tolerable (and my Penguins haven't been too hot this season either).

Given how the game ended, I thought it would have been nice for the Cardinals to have brought back Dennis Green so he could have entertained us with his "They are who we thought they were......we had them & we left them off the hook...." rant. Ken Whisenhunt was too subdued.

But the NFL was at least poetically ironic (albeit accidentally I'm sure) in chosing Hall of Fame QB Joe Namath to present the Lombardi Trophy. There you have a guy who is not only from the Pittsburgh area....but you also have a guy who decided to play for the team who drafted him from the old AFL (the Jets), and rejected the team that drafted him from the NFL (who was ironically the Cardinals of course).

Steelers are the only team with the 6-Pack......and next year, we go for 7!

They blew a massive lead with stupidity. A safety in the fucking Superbowl?

Forgot to mention, on a somber note, my mother, a HUGE Steelers fan (and she really knows & understands football...she's not a fake) also, suffered a stroke in August. She was lucky, and didn't suffer any paralysis, though she was weaker & had trouble thinking clearly (finding the right words) at times, but she recovered pretty good.

Then, on November 22 (same day Kennedy was killed ironically), right before being discharged (a few hours before) from the hospital following surgery to clear the blockage in her carotid artery that caused the stroke, she suffered another stroke (though now they think it may have been an extension of the stroke she suffered in August). Again she was lucky enough not to suffer any paralysis, she gets around pretty good (sometimes with a walker now) and she has recovered pretty good, & is back to about where she was when she went in for the operation. Of course, since my brother lives farther away, and my mom didn't want to move out of the area, my wife and I have taken her in until she is recovered enough to fully take care of herself & live on her own (my dad died 15 years ago).

I'm not an overly emotional or religious person. I usually keep my emotions in check (though I am very passionate about things), and I don't wear my religious beliefs on my sleeves, and you won't ever see me praying that my team wins a sporting event like so many do (I figure, if there is a God, I would hope he has much more important things to deal with than to be bothered with the outcome of a game). But let me tell you, it was hard to beat the feeling I got to see my mother right there in the middle of my Super Bowl party & to actually see her get animated, do some serious cheering like she used to do (following her strokes, she really didn't get animated anymore), and swear like a drunken sailor when things weren't going the Steelers way (or when they showed close-ups of the Cardinals for that matter).

I just knew that my mother wouldn't have been spared only to have our Steelers lose this seasons Super Bowl, much less lose the way they damn near did. I'm glad I wasn't wrong!

The road to 7 begins today!

Now to find some lawyer that is still taking lawsuits against the manufacturers of Celebrex (my mom took it for about 10 years before the stroke, and given her health before....that is the only thing that I can think of that caused it)!

Very entertaining match. I enjoyed it very much. Harrison's 100-yard run was most impressive.

Glad the Steelers won in the end. I thought they deserved it.

The Cardinals blew the game in the last fifteen seconds of the first half. I don't care if they came back and got the lead later that stupid pass by Warner cost them at least ten points and all the momentum they would have had going into half time. Frankly the play before where they threw the dump off out to the sidelines only to have the receiver cut to the middle instead of stepping out of bounds may have been an even worse play. If they stop the clock Warner doesn't have to rush that next pass straight into Harrison's hands.

at least the Cards showed up and battled. the Harrison play was brutal. And when Larry scored and I saw 2:47, I knew trouble was coming. 30 more seconds on the clock at the end and Warner probably gets it done.
i respect the Steelers of course . the Harrison play and the insane catch by Santonio combined with the clock going thier way at the end....what can you say. And they contained Larry other than that one monster play.
At least they earned this one unlike that last one vs.Sea. that was 'gifted' to them.

Anyone from Tucson?

Station Says Porn Clip Interrupted Super Bowl

PHOENIX (AP) -- A Tucson television station's broadcast of the Super Bowl on Sunday was interrupted for some viewers by about 10 seconds of pornographic material, the station said.

KVOA TV in Tucson released a statement saying that the only viewers who were able to see the material were those who receive the channel through Comcast cable.

The station said it will investigate the incident.

''When the NBC feed of the Super Bowl was transmitted from KVOA to local cable providers and through over-the-air antennas, there was no pornographic material,'' KVOA president and general manager Gary Nielsen said in a statement.

The KVOA statement said the station was dismayed and disappointed that some Comcast customers and their families were subjected to the material.

''KVOA will continue to investigate what happened to our clean signal and make sure our viewers get answers,'' Nielsen said in the statement.

Comcast spokeswoman Tracy Baumgartner confirmed that the company's standard feed was interrupted during the Super Bowl, although she said its high definition feed was not.

Baumgartner said engineers were investigating Sunday night.

Tucson media outlets reported that they received calls from irate viewers about the pornographic material.

A spokesman for Cox Cable said the company had not been affected.

''We have received no evidence that any inappropriate material was broadcast on any of our channels during the Super Bowl,'' Mike Dunne said. ''The alleged incident appears to be isolated to the Comcast territory. We will offer our support to all appropriate organizations to help them determine what happened.''

Joel Hilander of Tucson told The Associated Press that he and his young children saw the clip.

''I couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe that my children were watching it either,'' Hilander said.

He said the interruption came just after the Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald scored on a long touchdown reception during the final minutes of the game.

Here's the link to the clip of the ACTUAL cable cast:

Ugh. No wonder they're up in arms about it.

I would have been pissed to if I was watching the game with kids all around and that came on. Now it gives voice to all the anti-porn douchebags out there who are going to pounce on this. Whoever did this fucked it up for the porn fans that know there is a time and a place for porn.

I don't disagree that that's pretty fucked up, especially given that apparent fact that it was done intentionally by some rogue. But, I must admit that I find it amusing how all the people who are "outraged" that their "innocent" children were subjected to such "garbage", now are looking to be compensated for being so "traumatized." I'm waiting for someone to make the claim that they are terrified to watch television with their kids ever again & how they and their kids are having nightmares & trouble sleeping. It's funny how "getting paid" seems to make all the nightmares go away & makes everything in the world okay again. Where does everyone get the idea that every fucked up thing in the world ENTITLES them to some form of compensation? And if compensation makes them "all better," were they really "injured" at all in the 1st place?

Hell, when I was a kid (elementary school), I wouldn't have had a clue what I was seeing. At that stage in life, the most I had done was innocently kissed & "played doctor." I doubt any kid saw anything that meant anything to them, much less traumatized them.

If they catch the person behind the clip, and that person turns out to be a Comcast employee, by all means they should be fired. The customers on the other hand, aren't entitled to anything over and above an apology in my opinion. But of course, that isn't going to happen. The vultures are already circling, and Comcast has already announced that they are looking into a way to compensate all of the customers who were subjected to the feed that included the clip.

Of all the porn in the world that could have been shown, it ended up being Evan Stone.

To have that come on right after the touchdown shows that god hates anyone who took Pittsburgh to cover....

I just got back from Tampa via Orlando and that was a great FUCKING GAME and all of the Yinzers were out in force.

My uncle who has Steeler season tickets but doesn't fly and won't spend money unless he has to got his name pulled in the season ticket holder lottery and got two tickets, my cousin and I bought them and went to the game. It was amazing how it worked out since I was already going to Orlando for a wedding on Friday, so I got a discounted room rate at this sweet Disney hotel and my airfare was super cheap because I booked the flight months ago.

I wasn't as freaked out as everyone else after Arizona went ahead since Ben brought the Steelers back in the final two minutes many times this season.

The James "Deebo" Harrison 100 yard INT TD is now my favorite football play ever and why wasn't Larry "Smash his Baby Mama's head on the floor" Fitzgerald flagged for running out of bounds to avoid blockers and then coming back in to making a tackle.

I totally missed the halftime show since I was waiting in line to take a piss.

Find someone under the age of 50 in the music business with talent today. I don't want Ceramic God Product overseeing the Super Bowl halftime show. When I get to be Springsteen's age I hope I have enough energy to baseball slide my junk down a cameraman's throat. I agree about all the lyric changes though. I also would have rather heard the full version of three songs instead of half versions of six. I wonder how many people who bitch about recording artists making exclusive deals with Wal-Mart ever used Napster or other music file sharing systems.
