    Great fourth quarter. First three quarters, looked like week four of the regular season.

    This is what has come to sports journalism; saying stupid, controversial crap just because it will more people to read your work.


    It's the same premise that keeps political pundits and talking heads employed at CNN, etc.


    He knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote this, and he probably doesn't believe in a word of it. It's schlock.

    2. The Steelers should have won by two touchdowns. They definitely took their foot off the gas and it almost cost them the game. The Cardinals weren't able to stop Pittsburgh's offense for most of the game, until the Steelers had an emotional lull in the third quarter when they probably thought they had the win wrapped up.


    So you're saying the fact that both teams didn't play 60 minutes degraded the quality of the game to you? Psh, please. Making reasonable arguments before the hangover has worn off is so not acceptable to sports fans.

    1. After reading this guy's article, I've come to conclusion that he does not possess the ability to make easily readable lists. Here are four reasons why.


    a. He numbers his explanation for the list of 5 as number 1.
    b. He then uses letters to illustrate his point.


    2. He switches from letters to numbers midway through his list.


    4. He writes for fannation.

    reallydoe, the quality of play these days in the NFL is similar to the quality of poopie.


    at the end of the regular season, when you've finally played out your full schedule and your ACTUAL SCHEDULE STRENGTH BASED ON THE CURRENT SEASON IS READILY AVAILABLE AND APPARENT TO ALL - isn't it stupid to continually bring up what your PRESEASON schedule stregth (based on the results of the PREVIOUS FUCKING SEASON) was?


    i'll answer that for you: yes.

    epic
    Noun
    1. a long exciting book, poem, or film, usually telling of heroic deeds
    2. a long narrative poem telling of the deeds of a legendary hero


    Yep, I think he is right.

    I'll tell you why else Super Bowl XLIII shouldn't be considered Epic. At the end, there wasn't a fish flopping around outside of water.

    Because only getting a facefull of freshies in sick stashes after it's been puking dank pow all night can be considered epic.

    The quality of the teams: This was the 2008 Steelers and the Cardinals. Not the Cowboys and the Steelers in the 1970s


    He's right. If the 2008 Cardinals were playing the 70s Steelers they would have won by four touchdowns.
