Eli didn't play very well. Seems they (Giants) should have blitzed more though. McNabb played very well, converting third downs... thought the Giants would get to him more often. I like the Steelers against the Ravens. Both with great defenses, but Pittsburgh has more offense. I've got Philadelphia over Arizona (at Arizona)... but I will be pulling for the Cardinals. A team that tied the Cincinnati Bengals can't win the Super Bowl. So, the Dallas Cowboys arch enemy , and mine, the Pittsburgh Steelers will win the Super Bowl in a high scoring game against the Eagles... McNabb chokes under late game pressure and throws costly interception.

No way the Cardinals pull the Cinderella story of all time, and beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl. Even though I've got 10 BIG ONES on the Steelers, I'm pulling for the Cardinals.

I’ll take a win anyway they come and the Super Bowl with the Cardinals was a great game. I’ve always found Dallas fans to be great talkers and even bigger Cryboys and not very understanding people (not like you ‘jip’. Since I‘ve known you for a while, I know you’re not like that) . Like in 95’ when the Steelers played the Cryboys in the Super Bowl and lost that time (first time they ever did that to the Cryboys. In the 70’s the Steelers made a living off of that team). I was living in South Carolina at the time and during the week leading up to the Super Bowl since Cryboy fans were wearing their Cryboy gear at work I wore my Steelers hat and a conversation went like this with a guy I didn’t know very well but we did know each other: Cryboy fan: Hey jmonroe, I didn’t know you were a Steelers fan? Me: I’m not but a Steelers fan told me if I didn’t wear this hat for the day he was going to kick my a$$. He grumbles and walks off in a huff. The following Monday after the Steelers lost the Super Bowl, he comes over to me and said, “here, wear this Cryboy hat for the rest of the day”. Now keep in mind I was pretty much at my fighting weight back then and I said sure, “If you can kick my a$$. He grumbles and walks off in a huff again. In general, not very understanding people.  GO STEELERS get another one next year. jmonroe

Hence, winning the 10 BIG ones I alluded to in an earlier post. I'll take a half point on the high scoring game though, because it certainly wasn't a low scoring game. I kind of had the feeling from the very beginning that this was the Steelers game. When they needed a big play they got it. When they needed a big defensive play they got it. Whenever the Cardinals made a move, they turned up the intensity and played more with that sense of urgency. If the Steelers had played that way throughout the game, they would have won big. But, with the lead they didn't want to take too many chances. That Kurt Warner interception at the end of the first half wouldn't have mattered in the outcome of the game in my humble opinion. He grumbles and walks off in a huff Your "Cryboy" fan seems a little mentally disturbed. I’ve always found Dallas fans to be great talkers and even bigger Cryboys and not very understanding people As the final seconds of the game ticked away, a co-worker whom I was watching the game with, started crowing, "haha the Steelers won"... really rubbing it in. That kind of stuff is pretty low class in my book, especially since I didn't know her very well. I get the "Terrible Towel" crap from all the Steelers fans I know, mainly from my brother and cousin. If it is done in good fun then it's okay. My brother called me during the 96 Super Bowl between the Cowboys and Steelers. Pittsburgh was making a big late game comeback, looked like they may win. He's screaming and hollering in the phone, asking me if I was waving my terrible towel. Well, I had the last laugh when Neil O'Donnel choked and threw that costly interception returned for a touchdown... Cowboys win! Anyway, congrats to the "Stinkin Steelers". They played well throughout the year and deserved the victory. The Cowboys will always be the beloved "AMERICA'S TEAM" though, and with the right moves will challenge for the Super Bowl next year. They need to get rid of T.O, break up Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson ( I would be willing to take Jessica off his hands, literally, to see the Cowboys back in prime time) and get a head coach who is more than a puppet to that moron owner Jerry Jones. HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!
