The Super Bowl.

 

I hate the Steelers is a burning passion.  That was still the best Super Bowl I believe I’ve ever watched live.  Or on tape for that matter.

 

It had the three best plays of the year.  And one of the totally most awesome plays in history! 

 

Larry Fitzgerald streaking down the middle of the field for six.  He looked like a man among children on that play.  Why didn’t they throw him the ball all game?  It’s not like he was open on most of the passes he caught anyway.  But boy he was wide open on that one.

 

Santonio with the catch to win it.  That’s so impressive is because it was on the biggest stage ever.  It’s the play we all dream about as kids on the back yard.  …with ten seconds on the clock, Reed makes a break to the corner, he’s not gonna make it.  Yes!!!  What a spectacular catch by Cal Reed to win the Super Bowl…

 

Only this was for real and it was Santonio Holmes.

 

He did sound kinda like a pompous and arrogant in his post game interview.  I suppose I might have that kind of attitude.  At least I can imagine myself acting like that.  Then I realize I’m not a pompous, arrogant professional athlete who had just won the Super Bowl on an amazing catch in the corner of the end zone.  So no, I can’t really imagine being that pompous and arrogant.

 

And what the hell is wrong with William Gay.  I mean, the brother is from Louisville, and I give him mad props for sporting the red and white at his Super Bowl winning Steelers parade.  That is pretty ballsy and I like to think that if I played cornerback for the Super Bowl winning Steelers I’d sport the big blue myself.  But what’s up with the lil’ John yell? 

 

But the play of the game and of the century was the interception return by James Harrison.  That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

 

If the Steelers had not managed to win that game, it would be known as the curse of James Harrison if they never won another Super Bowl.  Add his back story of being cut three times, once by the Steelers, then to be defensive player of the year and to have a one hundred yard interception return for a touchdown.  In-freaking-credible.

 

I give credit to Kurt Warner for making it possible.  That’s one of those throws only Kurt Warner can make.  He just seems to hit guys in stride.  Kurt don’t like taking the sack and he’ll throw some balls places they never need to go.  And he gets burned sometimes.  He got lit up something special this time.

 

The Cards came back and had a chance.  Took the lead even.  You can’t ask for a better Super Bowl.

 

And the Super Bowl party I attended was a pretty good time too.  Even though I was surrounded by crazed Steelers fans.  And by crazed, I mean these people are freaking crazy insane about Steelers football.  I mean, like retarded.

 

Screaming, yelling, throwing terrible towels at the TV.

 

At one point they got so revved up with excitement that some inner redneck rage got set off and my buddy Don busted his knuckle open trying to hit a punching bag.

 

And this was when they were up big at halftime.

 

I mighta got my ass beat had the Cardinals been able to hold them off on that last drive.

 

I had to hang up on my sister because of the profanity being spewed about after James Harrison’s interception return.  This game was so exciting I actually had to call sis twice.  Really needed to call three times but I was just in such shock at the ending of the game.
