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!
