I was telling everyone that I thought this would be an exciting Super Bowl, no matter who won (and I knew the Steelers would win), and I wasn’t proven wrong. That was the most exciting Super Bowl that I remember watching, and I still remember – albeit vaguely – the wins back in the 70′s.

I have to give it to the Cardinals, they played an amazing 2nd half and there was a lot of nail biting in our house last night. Big Ben went up a few more notches in my opinion as he had a gutsy performance.

I had to laugh, though, reading the comments on ESPN and NFL.com this morning. The whiners always come out of the woodworks after a Super Bowl loss – blaming the refs, proclaiming favoritism in the league and the officiating, talking ad nauseum about “we should have won because of x”. I guess the concept of “one play does not make a game”, and the phrase “graceful loss” are lost on some people.

One guy even went so far as to say that the entire NFL organization wanted the Steelers to win because they’d make more money that way, and ordered the officials to call the game in favor of Pittsburgh.

<chuckle>

Dallas can call themselves America’s Team, but I think we all know who that really is now. The fact that I bleed black & gold does not tarnish my opinion at all ;)
