Super Bowl XLIII as it happens

[6th]

C'mon, get close enough for a field goal. No super bowl has ever gone to OT.

 

[6th]

5 yd line! Dang! What a game!

 

[6th]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steelers score a touchdown! Being reviewed.

 

[6th]

35 seconds left! Play stands.

 

[6th]

27-23 Steelers. 35 seconds left and Cardinals have 2 time-outs.

 

[6th]

I admit that I have not watched as much football in recent years as I used to. But, this game has been very much fun to watch. What competitors they have both been.

Ball looked like it was still partially in his hand to me, oh well.

Congrats to the Steelers.

 

[Rockmeister]

Whew! Cardinals should have called a fair catch. Fortunately, he hung on to the ball. Who was that?

Steve Breaston. Yea, he should have called a fair catch. Oh well.

It was a good game, just not enough for the Cards to win.

Congrats Steelers.

That was epic. I feel bad for Edge though, always been a fan of his and he'll never get another chance

Underdogs gave 'em all they could handle. Too bad the magic ran out.

I will sleep good tonight.

And for the record fitzgeralds goal line TD should not have been a TD. The nose of the ball hit the ground and he had bobbled it on the way down as well.

That was a tremendous game.

 

[Variant]

Nah, his TD was good. Topped by that last catch by Holmes for sure though. Craziness.

I coasted into the game after the Kings win not really expecting to pay much attention. That quickly changed, though. It was indeed a tremendous game - and I really enjoyed the half-time show.

All in all, I consider today a good day to be a sports fan.

 

[L.A. Brian]

That's actually from SB XL, but last night's attempt at an exact recreation (Cuban cigar included) never came about.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Unbelievable game. Well worth walking around school like a zombie and forgetting alot of my books.

Magnanimous Gesture by Holmes

I just saw on CNN that Holmes auctioned off the gloves he was wearing to make the winning catch in the Super Bowl. He got more than $70,000. It was all donated to Sickle Cell Anemia. Holmes son has the disease.


Bravo, Mr Holmes!!
