The Super Bowl

Hello all! I know I haven't done this in a while but whatever...life is like a box of chocolates bladibladibla...etc.

So I watched the Super Bowl this evening and it was cool. I was cheering for the Seahawks but you kinda had to know that the Steelers would win (The Jerome Bettis at home thing...). Randel El has a better arm than Ben Rothlesberger o.o. That Toss Reverse Wide Receiver Option Pass was so cool and exciting! What a cannon on a receiver! It was like something out of a movie...crazyness. I was impressed with Hasselbeck's ability to move the ball but equally as impressed with his offensive line's inability to give him a hand in key situations (when he tossed the interception down 14-10 in the third quarter after they had marched from their own 3 really proves this!).

Rothlesberger's ability improvise and scramble really won the game for the Steelers not to mention a banged-up Seahawk's secondary. Penalties were deadly for the Seahawks as were dropped passes (specifically by Seahawk's tightened Jerammy Stevens); passes that would've been huge in the outcome - as much in terms of confidence and momentum as literal field position and opportunities. It is a mystery why Hasselbeck continued to go to the unsure handed tight end Stevens over sure-handed and speedy wide receiver Darrell Jackson who was exemplary in the first quarter. Many of Hasselbeck's throws were absolute gems but Seahawk receivers (ie Stevens) seemed to forget their training. I mean they were playing like University of Waterloo receivers! That's harsh but in a lot of cases true.

Props to the Steelers for a fine performance and no props to the 'genius' who booked the Rolling Old Un-Talented Farts...I mean Rolling Stones.
