The Pittsburgh Steelers Are Your Super Bowl Champions

by Dave the Falconer on Feb 2, 2009 8:00 AM EST in Editorial Comment 5 comments

There will be elation in Pittsburgh this week.

Officially the Best NFL Franchise Ever with their six Super Bowl victories, the Steelers won a very sloppy and very tight game against the downright feisty Arizona Cardinals. The result wasn't what I wanted, but it was a supremely enjoyable Super Bowl and we should all give a congratulations to fans over at Behind The Steel Curtain.

I even got to watch most of it, despite an unsettled stomach and pounding headache that made me feel like James Harrison was pummeling me. I hope the silence in the Super Bowl open thread meant that you all were either kicking back a few cold ones or eating enough chili and chicken wings to be considered a living biohazard by those who love you.

So celebrate another year gone by and get ready for the 2009 season. If 2008 was any indication, we should be heading for a very fun one.

Congrats to Steelers and their fans...

Classy franchise for sure. Enjoy it, we are coming to get our trophy next year.

The MVP was Holmes but honestly, that should have gone to Harrison

Even though he was pummeling a guy while he was down later in the game, Harrison’s INT return for a touchdown was just something you don’t see. You don’t see a huge line backer return a ball for a hundred yards. It’s a testament to his dedication that he collapsed in the end zone completely out of breath and worn out. He ran 100 yards for the score instead of just collapsing or letting himself get tackled. Had he not gotten into the endzone, the Cards would have won because the Steelers would have been down by too much with only 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter to score more than 7 points.

I think the pummeling kept him from getting it ...

To be fair, a lot of NFL players get their cheap shots from time to time (see: Harvey Dahl). The idea is to not get caught. He missed that memo.

I'm glad the Steelers won ...

I think I’d have been somewhat bitter if the Cards had won.

I wish the Cards had won for two reasons.

1. Being put out of the playoffs by the eventual Super Bowl Champions is a smidge more satisfying.
2. I hate the Steelers (which of course means I really envy them).

Falcon Fans UNITE!
