Super Bowl 43: Steelers 27-Cardinals 23

by Brad Wells on Feb 1, 2009 10:49 PM EST in Game Recaps

Let the fallout begin. Congrats to blitzburg for his guys winning their sixth Super Bowl. Congrats to Mike Tomlin for becoming the youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl. Congrats to cgolden for his Cardinals playing like demons.

Talk, talk, and talk about the game. Interesting that it ended on a Kurt Warner fumble.

Best thing that came out from this

Is we might know who our DC is sooner than later now.

Jim Sorgi runs a 4.6 40. That's all I've got to say about that.

anybody else notice how Edge as pretty much a non-factor? that would really piss me off if i was him.

I smell a return to Indy for Supe XXXXIV

lol That’s not the Roman numeral for 44 fyi, but nice try. It’s XLIV.

This line will remain in my signature until the Colts draft Rashad Jennings in 2009.

The colts always shoot theselve in the foot

always leaving us with “Why did we do that”. The good knews is that I know for a fact that Manning is fuming right now with rage.

I LOVE that clip

That’s what a leader does, he’s suppose to talk shyt to his guys to make sure they do their jobs right. Also I love how nearly all of the commenters defend Manning for his reaction and basically call the poster an ass, but I do love how the video ends…

by KMR24 on Feb 1, 2009 11:34 PM EST up reply actions

Yeah and

Some idiot Steeler fan said that the Steelers “stomped” their way to the previous SB. I said 3 point wins are not called “stomping” esp when you don’t have Vinny for a kicker and asked him to STFU. If I was in Manning’s shoes I would be pissed for sure. This should’ve been his SB. As an au revoir to the Coach.

This was an ugly game. So many penalties and bad decisions. Santonio Holmes was great though.

Let’s get Peria Jerry and start a Super Bowl winning streak in Miami!

by Colts Homer on Feb 1, 2009 10:59 PM EST reply actions

Best thing is..

Tomlin’s a Dungy protege. I would’ve loved to see him pay Dungy a tribute for getting him into the league during the presentation, but oh well.

by rangerover76 on Feb 1, 2009 11:05 PM EST reply actions

He did talk about Coach Dungy during an interview in the pregame show

about trying to do things similar to Dungy. After the clip, Dungy had a huge smile on his face. If Dungy doesn’t get into to the Hall of Fame, then there shouldn’t be one. Forget the fact that he has one SB ring, but TWO of his former protege have made it to the Super Bowl, and one has one. Right now Belichick, the “genius”, has what two former assistants in the league and both have been fired?

by KMR24 on Feb 1, 2009 11:21 PM EST up reply actions

Guess I missed

The pre-game show. That was cool of him to talk about his mentor before the game. Shows he has class. I’ve always maintained that Belichick happened to win the SBs and never earned it.

Also the trend is

Indy for the next Super Bowl..a la 2007 after Pitt won it in 2006

Two questions

1. Is Warner better than Manning?
2. Is Warner going to Canton?

p.s.
I’m really happy that Big Ben didn’t get the MVP :-)

by KMR24 on Feb 1, 2009 11:47 PM EST reply actions

is Edge

Going to be a Colt again? Screw Warner.

2009 Schedule

Looks like we should be atleast 13-3 with a #1 or #2 seed and being at home for the entire playoffs.

I'm back, I bring thoughts

Great game.

The seal hugging, koala punching, career builder commercial is easily the best of the SB.

I agree with the Holmes MVP. Harrison was beastly with the pick-6 and abusing Gandy, but he was a shithead with the personal foul.

Re:Best Commercial

I did love the career builder one. But think about this. Its a crowded room, a big superbowl party. Watching it on a 55 inch tv screen. Everyones chatting amongst themselves. Then all of a sudden.

“HIGHLIFE”

End commercial. Everyone bust out laughing. We knew it was coming but didnt know when. Great idea. Saved alot of money. Funny as hell

Please, please draft a big Defensive Tackle. Please?

and james harrison should have been the mvp not holmes. without harrisons play right before the half the sleazelers probably arent even in the game and the cardinals are a couple of tds ahead before the final drive

sorry but that was the play of the superbowl and that drive at the end isnt happening without that GIFT from warner

at least it was worth the sleazeler fans shocked looked on their faces that OMG WE ARE REALLY GOING TO LOSE TO THE 9-7/(now 8) cardinals for at least a couple of minutes

I loved that I didnt have to see hinds ward smirk most of the game

by kinnickcolt on Feb 2, 2009 5:25 AM EST reply actions

Harrison doesn't deserve it because of the piece o'shit

personal foul he pulled in the fourth quarter. I hope he gets hit by a bus just for that ridiculous act.

Here grab my hand, let me help you aboard the Cardinals' band wagon!

well we all know what happened the last time the Steelers won the super bowl….the Colts won the next year.

That’s a trend I could get behind

by danorocks17 on Feb 2, 2009 7:56 AM EST reply actions

Holmes was the correct MVP

Harrison imploded in the second half with some dumb penalties that cost his team, and he should have been kicked out of the game on that one play when he punched a guy while he was on the ground.

Holmes, meanwhile, made the greatest catch in Super Bowl history. MVP, easy.
