interesting superbowl fact, the Steelers have faced three teams making their first superbowl appearance (LA Rams, Seattle, Arizona) and are 3-0 in those games. No other team has faced a first time team more than twice
The Phillies are everything I hoped the Mets would be - a team that plays their fucking asses off for all 27 outs. They're never out of a game. Solly 10/20/09
That was a good game, but I can't help but to agree with the people speaking poorly about the officiating. The Superbowl should never be decided by the referees! I feel kinda bad for the Cardinals because with the exception of the first quarter they totally outplayed the Steelers.
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
Officiating controversy or no, I think we can all agree that one of the best parts of the night was on The Office when Dwight cut the face off the CPR dummy.

You know, I've thought this season of the Office has been a bust so far... but I did laugh pretty hard at that.
I think they saved a ton for last night's episodes. The first 25 minutes or so, I never laughed harder at a show. And I love how they had "guest stars" Jack Black, Jessica Alba, and Cloris Leachman.
Most shows use those guest stars and have them dominate the episodes. The Office didn't even really use them except for the name. It was great use I thought.

I was laughing so hard I had to rewind the dialogue right after. Michael's rimshots during the roast were great too.
Normally I'm not a fan of hour-long Office eps but last night's was outstanding.

Will you dumbasses please take your Office slobbering elsewhere?
Unless you're talking about shady officiating, BEN, Jesus betraying Kurt Warner, the lack of a Kevin Garnett post-game interview, or the Common Sense aisle, keep it out of here.

Yeah everyone, let's talk about important things like the commercials.
They did. It was either between the 3rd and 4th quarter or during the first break of the 4th quarter. A proverbial "blink and you missed it" sorta thing, but I was actually paying attention to the ads in that one block and thought it was awesome and so different than anything else around it.

This half-second commercial ran locally in Seattle.
Card's would've won if it wasn't for that 100 yard pick 6 to end the half. And the shitty officiating. Bleh. Still, good game, though. And the Boss sliding into the camera crotch first was awesome.

Eh, fuck it. Time to look forward to the draft and free agent signings.
I'm happy for Lou, I hate the Steelers and the fact that the refs win them Super Bowls.
I'm still waiting for the result of the review on Warner's last pass. Notice how ESPN isn't even showing/talking about it today?
I'm interested in finding out who will be watching The Manning Bowl next week. You know, the one Peyton REALLY cares about. "Who will win the Pro Bowl MVP? Peyton or Bambi? Tune in next week!"
Plus, uh, Favre said he'd decide "soon" as to whether or not he'll grace the Jets with his presence for next season. I love how the Jets have no say in the matter. At least the Packers manned up and said "get the fuck out".
Did we ever figure out exactly why the Steelers were wearing the Seahawks hats during the celebration? I mean, why wear 3 year old stolen property when they could've just flaunted Cardinals hats and shirts after the game last night?

Whoever designed that shit ought to be fired.
Fired? I think he should get an award. That was amazing they busted out the Seahawks hats they stole.
can someone explain to me why people are saying Harrison's return was the greatest play in Superbowl history? It was impressive as hell, anytime you return and interception 100 yards it is impressive. And it was impressive that they stopped the Cards from either tying or taking the lead. But it was at halftime. It was not a death blow for the Cards, nor did it win the game for the Steelers. If you want to scream about something being the best play ever, how bout you look at the game winning touchdown?

I saw that on SportsCenter last night, how one of the mooks was already calling it the best play ever. Bullshit. It was clutch, but best? Not so fast, Lee Harvey.

Because ESPN is desperately trying to remain relevant - while their numbers have nose-dived over the last few years, by abandoning the very fanbases that turned ESPN into the juggernaut it is - all in the name of "Making News"
They did a "Top 10 Best SB Plays Ever" last night. 4 were from LAST NIGHT'S GAME! There were 2 plays not from this decade. It's just a ploy to try to get people to keep watching because "the best things ever are happening right now!"
Don't blame you, but honestly, I'm used to this shit by now from the refs. It's rare nowadays when you can get a game, even a regular season game, between 2 high-profile teams and have a well-called football game.
I know refs are human and mistakes happen. That's not what infuriates me. It's who it always seems to happen for. I can't remember for the life of me the last time the Steelers were victims of horribly called games. Giants, Ravens, Bears, Cowboys, Colts, and Broncos as well for that matter. It's always The Cardinals, Seahawks, Chargers, Bucs, etc. There seems to be a pattern there.
