Kurt and his receivers are just too good. With the Edge back running
this game might not be as close as some think.

Never underestimate the Steel Curtain... but i hope you're right!

Can the Steelers beat the Cardinals? Yes we can/did.

I was kind of rooting for Pittsburgh, but didn't really care much either way. What a great game though. First Superbowl I actually paid attention to in years.

OMG, the best game I have ever seen!! My husband and I were on the southside drinking at one of the bars and when they won the place exploded. They blocked off all the streets so we could celebrate for hours. People even jumped on the buses, HA!! So much fun, I still cant believe they won.

My hubby and I don't watch football really(we like Moto GP, Rolex series, etc.), but, we just happened to turn on the game after the second half and watched. Okay, Larry Fitzgerald is a streamlined power gazelle he frickin' moves so fast... and that catch by Santonio Holmes was crazy!!! It was exciting, i must say.

Ah, American Football.

A place where washed up, out of contract Australian Rules players whose careers have been reduced to playing in semi-professional suburban leagues can go to get million dollar contracts - more than they ever made back home.

And good luck to them, too.

Thanks for those words of encouragement.

I'm just glad that the Super Bowls are competetive again. I remember back in the 80's and 90's it seemed like almost every Super Bowl was a total blowout that was over by the end of the 1st quarter.

That's true.

But I understand Ben Graham is getting about US$75,000 a game.

The average AFL salary is about AU$200,000 a year (about US$160,000) for 22 games plus up to 4 finals. He now gets that for just 2 games - and he doesn't even play the whole game!

As captain of Geelong, Ben Graham may have made more than that while playing, but he wasn't captain, he wasn't even playing any more. Nor was Saverio Rocca or Darren Bennett before them.

I just say good for them.

Ben Graham isn't 1/10th the kicker/athlete that Darren Bennett was.
