The Steelers have now won 6 yes that's right 6 superbowls!
Congrats Steelers on a job well done. It was quite a bit better game than I thought it would be.

I had this big super bowl party and was the only one rooting for the steelers

After the Cards scored the go ahead touchdown, a friends wife was up in front of the TV shaking and sceaming like a wild woman. When the Steelers scored I jumped up and yelled and screamed in front of the TV like she did and everyone was real quiet. I started laughing my ass off, it was so hillarious. Great game, yes, great game. Feel kind of sorry for Warner. He's a real class act.

It was a great game but I didn't agree with many of the official's calls!

Don't tell me you are going to whine like the Seahawks fans did when the Steelers beat them!

I thought it was a great game. Both teams played well for part of the game and poorly for part of the game. The officiating was good in my opinion. I didn't see any horrible errors on their part.

What I did find horrible was the poor sportsmanship on both sides. What especially irked me was that player from the Steelers that punched a Card several times while he was down. Madden was right, he should have been ejected. Was that an observed personal foul by the referrees? If so, then that was poor officiating.

The game winning play in my opinion was the Steelers fumble recovery and 100 yard run back by #92 James Harrington. It was a linebackers wet dream.

Congratulations to the Steelers.

Once again, it really didn't matter which bird was going to fly, we all know what happens to birds when they fly into a piece of Steel, They don't fly too good anymore.

GO STILLERS! You made the 'BURGH happy!

I'm not much of a sports person, but do watch the Superbowl each year. I thought it was a fun game. I didn't see many bad calls, if any. The two challenges were fine.
The one thing I did have an issue with was #92. The guy that ran the 100 yards for the TD was the same guy that got the personal foul called on him when he punched out a Cardinals player. Virtually zero penalty for what he did! Then after the game they interviewed him all about how great he was getting the touchdown. I'll tell you what, in the Game Book of Fred, that player would not only been out of the game, his career would be over. I would can his sorry ass and he'd never be seen playing football again. There's just no need for crap like that. What did he teach every kid that was watching? If you're good enough you can be a bully and no one will say a thing. A month or a year from now when he pulls an OJ and someone gets raped or killed everyone will say "Gee, we never saw that coming". I'm sorry, but stuff like that yanks my chain!

I agree there is no need for that but I will bet that it happens more than you know during the course of the game. He was just a little more blatent and got caught on camera. I feel he should have been removed from the game also for that. There are two sides to every story and I will bet that James Harrrison had been held quite a bit all game long as he usually is and finally lost it. But that doesn't make what he did right.

He gave a good game a black eye.

I`m a steeler fan & always will be but I agree with most of younz guys, Harrison should have been taken out of the game & sent to the locker room then & there. I know he was being held alot but being a professional that comes with the game & I`m sure he`s going to feel that outburst in the pocket at the very least.

That is nothing compared to what goes on in the piles or on the line every single play. Yes he was caught but when you go to an actual game try to watch everything happening on the field away from the ball. People are getting punched, kicked, scraped, eyes get poked, etc. It's football and emotions are part of it. Perhaps it was over the line but let's not get all outraged over the incident. We are talking about a game where 200-300 lb men beat on each other for 60 minutes. I think if we see that in Golf then we may have a problem.

Go steelers Up the Irons (Iron City's that is). Harrison played a great game. He did screw up with his temper. But the game is played smash mouth. No one wants to see anybody get hurt but softening the game anymore takes away from the sport. Hey what about the chop bock that the cards were flagged for. That kind of block is illegal and a career ender, if hit the right way but they game rolled on. Lets let it die on the vine. Great game , great teams, that made it the best superbowl yet. Hard to believe that it topped the Giants game last year.

Great game, tight right to the end. The poor sportsmanship SHOULD have been handled more sternly. These teams
are the best of the best, and you get that crap? The NFL should be concerned. For what these guys get paid, I do not think
that is unreasonable to expect better than ghetto behavior.

Ohhh, I know, I'm a bit strict when it comes to bad behavior. I do realize stuff like that is part of the game. (sadly) Look at hockey! It's like "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out". All in all, I really enjoyed the game. It's darn seldom that I yell at the TV, but several times I was loud! I kind of wanted the Cardinals to win, but the Steelers sure earned the game with that last TD. What a perfect throw & most excellent catch.
