What a game

Some observations from the most amazing Super Bowl ever. I would probably actually say this was 1a and last year's Super Bowl as 1b. Both were phenomenal. 

I feel bad for Kurt Warner. He has been in three Amazing Super Bowls (2000 against the Titans, 2002 against the Patriots and this one) and come out on the losing end despite three amazing performances by him. The guy is a stud and Hall of Famer. 

The Cardinals did not lose this game. The Steelers won it. I was actually hoping for OT, but that catch by Santonio Holmes was amazing. Once again 1a while David Tyree's catch is 1b.

If the Steelers would have lost this game, it would be because they choked AND lost their composure in the 4th quarter. They had I believe two personal fouls (one by harrison that didn't amount to much because the ball was downed at the one) and a holding in the end zone. Plus their #1 defense suddenly forgot how to play and allowed the Cardinals to light them up. But none of that matters now because they won.

The Cardinals defense is for real. I think this was their coming out party. They bended but did not break (with the exception of the Holmes catch) and allowed the Cardinals to stay in the game. 

Harrison's 100-yd INT return was amazing, yet it was only the third best play of the game. That's how awesome this game was. Oh and the Cardinal Offense needs to learn how to tackle. There is no way Harrison should have gotten a TD, but it was still amazing.

While I hate the fact that the Steelers won, I am happy that another black coach won a Super Bowl. Kudos to Mike Tomlin. I hope this does two things: 

1. It aspires more black players to become coaches and gets rid of the Rooney rule because GMs realize that by passing on talented black coaches they might be missing out on the next Tony Dungy, Mike Tomlin, or Lovie Smith. 

2. That the myth that black people can't coach is finally squashed. I still think it is a travesty that College Football has such a low number of black coaches. Seriously?? Get out of the stone age. At least the NFL has dispelled that myth somewhat.

The Office tonight was amazing! The opening scene was probably one of the funniest scenes ever!

My Super Bowl pick for next season: Browns vs. Cardinals. You heard it hear first :)
