NFL has never seen anything like this Super Bowl

''In a hundred years, they will talk of this game. In a hundred years, they will talk about the plays, about the comebacks, about the amazing finish that came after the other amazing finish. In a hundred years, they will talk about the finest Super Bowl of them all.

Forty-three years, and a championship has never been this exciting, this breathless, this much fun. Forty-three games, and none of them has measured up to this: Pittsburgh 27, Arizona 23.

And tell me: Is your heart beating normally yet?

This was terrific stuff. This was amazing entertainment. This was everything you ever wanted in a Super Bowl. It was Ben Roethlisberger's arm and Santonio Holmes' toes tucked inside the sideline and James Harrison's wild ramble down the sideline. This was Kurt Warner's toughness and Larry Fitzgerald's speed and Anquan Boldin's hands. It was a team that refused to lose against a team that would not go away.

This was Super Bowl XLIII, and the NFL has never seen anything like it.''

Wonder why the terrible officiating wasn't mentioned, nor the BEST half-time show EVER!?

Steelers victory in Super Bowl 43 is proof that big money (big fan base) influences the NFL on who will win. Last play of the game (Warner's arm was moving forward - he was trying to pass the ball - too much risk that the Cardinals might pull it off!) was booth reviewable and didn't happen! Who has ever heard of roughing the kick holder?!!!! Destiny for the underdog, cinderella Cardinals was sabotaged by the NFL and shady refs! How sad that money still influences the outcome of such a historical event.

laughing at Greg Hamilton. That was a classic victory. You are in the minority if you think something was fixed about that game. How small of you to take away the effort of an amazing group of character individuals - on both sides of the ball. Congratulations to the Steelers and Cardinals organizations for a true competition between some of the finest athletes on the planet.
