Yesterday was Superbowl XLIII: the Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Arizona Cardinals. Two historic teams with vastly different histories. The Steelers have now won a record setting six Superbowls - more than any other NFL team. This was the Cardinals very first appearance in a Superbowl. And though it was sad to see another unlucky NFC West team lose to the Steelers in football's biggest event (*sigh* for the Seahawks losing 21 to 10 in 2006 in much more unevenly matched game) - it's hard to be terribly disappointed because BOY what a game it was. Hard pounding, fast-paced, evenly matched, with dynamic game-changing plays and some of the best football players ever like Larry Fitzgerald.I can't quite decide if this year or last year's Superbowl was better. Seeing the true underdog Cardinals give the Steelers a serious run for their money was pretty incredible. But was it really better than seeing the wild card Giants beat the undefeated Patriots? Was there a play this Superbowl better than the third down-Eli Manning-somehow-escapes-sack-throws-thirty-yards-then-Giants' David Tyree-catches-football-on-his-helmet play?!?! I'm not so sure...
Thoughts? Which Superbowl has been your favorite?
I hate the Steelers, they are the exact example of what dirty means...James Harrison shoving the Cardinals Ben Francisco on the kick off when he was down on the ground...thats unacceptable, and of course it goes unnoticed because of the leagues love for those douche bags.
ReplyDeleteI think this years super bowl was just as heart breaking for me as the seahawks losing, because Kurt Warner is such a standup guy. I really wanted to see him lead the Cardinals to victory. But i think last years super bowl was probably better because of the fact the patriots were undefeated and one of the players from the double stuff oreo league(Eli Manning) beat that undefeated team.
I think last year's game was more spectacular, but for 60 minutes of football, this one was better. Two good superbowls in a row is pretty rare.
