James Harrison nearing the end of his record 100 yard INT return
Best Super Bowl Ever? Not hardly with all those penalites. Best 4th quarter ever? Now I can go with that!
What an amazing 4th quarter by a valiant Arizona ballclub with 2 big touchdowns by Larry Fitzgerald. But when it was all said and done, “Big” Ben Rothlesburger and Santonio Holmes made play after play in the final 2 minute drive to pull out a 27-23 win. This was one of those games where you couldn’t point blame on any player or unit, big time players just made big time plays and those are the type of games I love.
Kudos to the Arizona Cardinals for coming 2 minutes from becoming the most unheralded and surprising World Champion from the 4 major sports ever. Also congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the model franchise in ALL of sports. They do it the right way, and the reason the Cardinals can compete, is because Head Coach Paul Wisenhunt and Offensive Coordinator Russ Grimm were members of the staff of the previous Steelers title team in 2005. They know what it takes to compete day in and day out and they know how to compete with class.
Now, on to my new favorite passion, those Caps. I mean, what more can I say? We took two TOUGH losses after the AS break to Ottawa and Boston and then had to welcome the defending champion Detroit Red Wings and a rematch with Ottawa in back to back MATINEES!! Needless to say, Ovie and the boys handled business in both with Ovie contributing with 5 goals (2 vs Detroit and a hat trick vs Ottawa) and Mike Green making one of the sickest passes Ive ever seen!!!
Beating Detroit was great, because thats the team that we aspire to be…the best of the best. That franchise is where this team SHOULD want to be, a perennial Stanley Cup contender. And with the talent this team has, it very well can be. The Ottawa win showed me that even after winning a huge game they could come back the next day and give maximum effort. Sky’s the Limit for this team…Stanley Cup or Bust!
