I really thought Larry Fitzgerald had won it for the Cardinals. My first NFL team is and always will be the Bears, but the Cardinals, since their St. Louis days, have been a close second. So, I was delirious when the Cardinals came from a 20-7 deficit to take a 23-20 lead with under three minutes to go.Give it to Ben Roethlisberger and Santonio Holmes (pictured above - courtesy Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), they made spectacular plays down the stretch, ending with what may be the greatest throw and catch in the history of the National Football League, and just like that, it was gone and the Steelers had won Super Bowl number 6, more than any other franchise. (Note, the Bears and the Packers still have won more NFL championships than anyone else.)
Well, congratulations to the Steelers, they won it out right.
At least we're less than two weeks from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training!

Too many penalties and one big interception return at halftime means a last-second karmic smackdown in retaliation for Kurt Warner's Rams' thrilling/gut wrenching win over the Titans in 1999.
So, Vinatieri's FG at the buzzer to beat the Rams in 2001 wasn't retribution enough?
Besides, until Bud Adams dies, the Titans will never win, as much as I like Jeff Fisher (an '85 Bear, natch).
Oh no, the suffering must continue.
If you wqant suffering, how about us Vikings fans who lost 4 of the first eleven Super Bowls, had the Hail Mary keep us from losing a 5th and haven't been back to the game since 1977? What did we do to deserve this? Root for Bear Bryant instead of Alan Page to have an NCAA Championship ring? Think that Jack Ham was a better linebacker than Matt Blair? Despise the Dallas Cowboys and think Roger Staubach was a poor man's Terry Bradshaw (ain't changing that notion)? The pain, the misery, the never-ending time in Dante's sixth level!! Well, maybe not that bad, but certainly football purgatory..
