That was not a typo. The Pittsburgh Steelers stole the Vince Lombardi trophy from the Arizona Cardinals this year. All hope was lost for the Cards at halftime. the score was 17-7 and a lineman had just completed the longest TD score in Superbowl history in the final 3 seconds. Why not quit? two reasons. One Kurt Warner's hot wife in the stands praying; Two Larry Fitzgerald is on your team. Hold on the the dreads and let him take you along for the ride. With 2:34 left in the fourth Arizona had won the Superbowl. A Larry Fitz Slant-route and a self-induced turbo button made the score 23-20. But the inexperience of rookie conerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie would lead to the game's deciding play. Santonio Holmes had not one but two opportunitues to crush the Cards' dreams. Now IMHO, a cover man in the NFL or at any level in man to man coverage is suppose to know you cannot let the fastest man on the field, whom already has 8 catches for 125 yards, get behind you. Rodgers-Cromartie and two other Cardinal defenders forgot this Cardinal Rule(no pun intended) on both sides of the field, the only difference is on the right side Holmes caught the ball. Final score in favor of the Steelers 27-23. What a game. There is some good to be drawn from this. With the Steeler win that officially makes My Favorite NFL team the San Diego Chargers COCs (Casualties of the Champs), meaning their playoff loss has little meaning, when taking into consideration they lost to the eventual Superbowl Champions, they do not suck as hard. Its something about the American opinion that changes when they find out you've lost to a historic team or individual. When "no name" boxers would fight the likes of Ali, Holyfield; Tyson and lose their losses never really count as losses because peolpe always say, "It was against so-and so.", then they proclaim that the loser is the "next-big-thing" (Michael Spinks) So no fear Chargers this loss only makes you the one of the frontrunners for Lombardi hoisters next season.
