VS.
Well, here we are. Super Bowl XLIII. The Cinderella Arizona Cardinals vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's pandemonium here in Tampa as Steeler fans mingle and interact with...... well..... more Steeler fans. I've seen literally 4 or 5 Cardinal fans during my time out in Tampa and St. Pete this week, while Steeler fans have been everywhere... grocery stores, restaurants, the beach, hotel bars, on the interstate, at work. Crikey! Anywho, I hope the Cards can keep Warner upright long enough to do some damage and keep this game competitive.

Arizona 31 – Pitt 17.
"I have come that you may have life, and life to the max"

It’d be nice to see a class guy like Warner win another one.
Cannons... fire them.

Arizona returns a punt to the Pitt 44
and is in prime position to even the score or jump ahead. The Cardinals are starting to look comfortable and believe they belong.

Review = TD
Instead of 14-10 AZ, it’s 17-7 PIT. That crushing momentum swing seems like it’d be so hard to come back from. That’s…. just stunning.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

He’s always right. If Arizona keeps doing what they were doing they will be fine. They just need another break like the Dansby pick.
