Super Bowl Champions

The Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl this past Sunday. They beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23. It was probably the best Super Bowl I have ever seen. The Steelers had a 10-7 lead with 18 seconds to go in the first half. The Cardinals had the ball inside the 5 yard line and were trying to take the lead. Kurt Warner threw a pass that James Harrison intercepted and ran it back 100 yards for a touchdown. The Steelers had a 17-7 lead at halftime. That play was the longest play in the history of the Super Bowl. The Steelers led 20-7 going into the 4Th quarter. Then all hell broke loose. The Cards scored a touchdown to pull within 6 points. The Steelers then had the ball on their own 1 yard line, and were called for holding on the end zone, which resulted in a safety, which is 2 points for the Cardinals. That made it 20-16. After the Steelers punted the ball, the Cardinals scored again. Warner threw a pass to Larry Fitzgerald who scored to give them a 23-20 lead with 2 and a half minutes left in the game. That's too much time to give the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger drove them down the field and Santonio Holmes caught a pass for 40 yards to take them to the 6 yard line. 35 seconds to go in the game, and Roethlisberger threw another pass to Holmes in the end zone for a great catch, and the Steelers had won their 6Th Super Bowl! No other team has won as many as the Super Steelers. It was truly the most remarkable game I have ever seen. I DVR'd the game, and will try and keep it forever. I will probably have to copy it onto a DVD. So, what do we do until next season?? The Pirates are still a losing ball team. I will still watch them, but the Steelers are the best team in Pittsburgh!
Dawna and I are planning a trip to Florida next month. I cannot wait! I am so sick of winter. This has been the snowiest and coldest winter we have had in quite some time. Maybe a little Florida weather will get us both rejuvenated. And we can visit my sister Chris and Dawna's Dad while we are there, too. Maybe catch a pirate game in Bradenton. That would be fun!
Snowy day here today. I have the day off from work. Going to take Dawna out for lunch, and go see my mom and dad for a bit. Have a great day, and I will write again soon.
