To those that have seen the Terrible Towel but have no idea of its significance to Steeler fans. It was created by one of the greatest sports announcers in the vein of Howard Cosell, a man who died this past year, Myron Cope. In many ways he is the voice of Pittsburgh.

The Old Grey Lady gets one right...even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes.

Go Steelers! ;)

Is it going to rain in Tampa?

That would play in favor of the Steelers.

The Steelers are the AK of the Superbowl.
The Cardinals are the AR of the Superbow.

I just hope the Cardinals gas key is staked!! :p

Big Ben is hurt, also posted the worst superbowl performance in history for a winning QB when they stole the win from Seattle a few years back. The Cardinals are going to light them up.

That was one game. That's like saying that because New England positively made Arizona their ***** a few weeks ago, Arizona is going to get destroyed.

I think it will be a good game.

If it turns out to be a game of defense, which I'm betting it will, than Pittsburgh is going to dismantle Phoenix. We have a tradition in Pittsburgh for "Big Nasty D".

Big Ben (and any QB) is an overrated quantity. They get far too much credit and are only as good as their offensive line. Ben can do some nice tricks, but he's not the best QB in the NFL. If the line can hold, and open some holes for Parker and give Ben time to air it out to Holmes/Ward, it's going to be a long day for Phoenix. It will be about holding the line.

For Phoenix to win, Warner is going to have to play the best game of his entire life, and honestly I don't see it with the Pittsburgh D. Troy is going to have a field day and I guarantee you that Defense will be bringing its best game. Screen pass? Don't make me laugh, that will work for the first half...maybe.

Ben can have a mediocre game and the rest of the team is strong enough to carry him.

I still want a nail biter.

I want to be rich enough to buy the Dallas Cowboys just to make them wear pink Barbie ballerina uniforms.

Either that or orange prison jump suits.
