A super Super Bowl

Two good Super Bowls in a row? Wow. Growing up I remember more often than not, the Super Bowl was a blow-out. Sometimes that'd be cool, like watching Joe Montana and the 49ers pile on John Elway and the Broncos to the tune of 55-10, but if they were two teams I didn't care much about, it made the whole thing anticlimactic. I think that's one factor why Super Bowl commercials became so big. Some years they really were more entertaining than the game.

At my house, we wound up rooting for the Cardinals. It's an underdog thing. And for me, I still feel like the Steelers stole one from the Seahawks three years ago. We cheered widly when Larry Fitzgerald and Kurt Warner looked like they pulled off the upset of the year. And the Cards were two inches away from getting a second safety in the game. But you have to hand it to Big Ben. The Steelers defense has been touted all year but they needed their offense to get the win.
