Yay Steelers!

[TZ]

6. Congrats to the Steelers.

And props to the Cardinals for a very good game.:)

[Haole Girl]

7. It's not nice to gloat

But just knowing McCain's favorite team lost, made that sweet. :D

[NoPasaran]

8. WooHoo!

:woohoo:

[flvegan]

9. Ho. Ly. Shit.

That...that was insane. What a fantastic game. Gotta give a tip of the hat to the Cards who played amazingly that second half.

[JVS]

12. Except for Santonio Holmes, the offense owes the defense their rings

[flvegan]

Yeah, but we knew that going into the game.

Not only the best defense in the league, but the best offensive pocket for Ben.

[JVS]

21. Actually the offensive line has been suspect since Faneca departed.

They did a nice job today though. At least when it counted

[no name no slogan]

19. That was the best SB I've seen in decades

I can't remember the last one that was that exciting.

Great game Steelers and Cards!

[tigereye]

60. we were ready to send a few people to the cardiac care center...

it was very nerve wracking! Whew!

[charlie and algernon]

10. congratulations, that was one hell of a finish

and Obama's team WON!

[PaddyBlueEyes]

11. Once Again the super bowl champ

[Danger Mouse]

15. Actually, it's more like 'Cardinals shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly' thread.

:puke:

[JVS]

18. In that case, they have my gratitude!

[Danger Mouse]

22. I wasn't really invested in the game, but seeing them get that many penalties pissed me off.

That's just plain sloppy playing. Bad form.

[mvd]

26. A least the Eagles probably would have lost, too

Good game IMO and congrats, Steelers. And congrats to the Cards for a good season. :hi:

[tigereye]

62. hey buddy! We won!

:woohoo: :party:

[mvd]

63. Hi, tigereye!

I actually got a prediction right. Congrats and enjoy!

Hope you are having a good 2009 so far.

[tigereye]

65. not too bad- just a bit too much ice and snow

and we live on a big hill, so there is always more snow than down at the bottom of the hill...

16. Obama's team won and no puppy for Kurt Warner's Kids

Sharing a loveseat with his wife, Brenda, in the living room of their suburban Phoenix home late Sunday night, having endured a long day’s worth of pressure from the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship game, the Arizona Cardinals’ Super Bowl-bound quarterback made a proclamation that even President-elect Barack Obama didn’t dare utter in his household.

“No puppy,” Warner said, provoking immediate resistance from Brenda and 17-year-old daughter Jesse, the second oldest of the couple’s seven kids. “It’s not gonna happen.”

“Dad, you promised,” Jesse said. “Remember?”

“I never promised that.”

“We are so getting a puppy if you win the Super Bowl,” Brenda said, smiling like someone who knows she’ll get her way. “Just like you said we would.”

24. Woo Hoo!!!!

[NYC_SKP]

39. I forgot about her!

She's got the moves, I'm saving her to my photobucket!

:hi:

[firedupdem]

41. She hasn't been out since the party thread the night before the

inauguration! She was tired from all the celebrating we did! :)

[NYC_SKP]

46. That was a fun thread, lots of dancers like this one:

:rofl:

.

[Radical Activist]

23. Clearly, God hates Arizona.

First McCain, now this. Losers.

[Dappleganger]

25. Way to pull this one off, Steelers!

[JVS]

27. President Obama gets a shout out!

[Fleshdancer]

29. That was awesome!

:woohoo:

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

40. haha freepers are mad as hell!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

28. Rooney just thanked President Obama and the entire Steeler Nation.

I think its fitting that this team will be the first Super Bowl winning team to visit President Obama at the White House.

[mvd]

32. Yes, I was rooting for the Steelers

Before the Phils won, I had some intrastate envy (sorry, couldn't help it I guess,) but that's over - and Obama's team won.

[bigwillq]

30. Congrats to the Steelers!

:bounce:

[many a good man]

31. offficial browns fan envy post

Congrats Steelers. One of these days....but I won't get carried away about it.

[Sheets of Easter]

49. The odds are in their favor-

Look at the past decade: the Buccaneers, Seahawks, Cardinals, and Panthers, all teams that never made it before, each had a shot. I think the Browns could threaten with the proper guidance.

[Radical Activist]

33. Could the Steelers players and coach show any less class?

I doubt it. So much for being gracious in victory. Maybe a mooning is on the way.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

34. what are u talking about?

[Radical Activist]

38. coaches don't usually boast about unsportsmanlike conduct

on the field. it sounded like that's what he was doing.

[flvegan]

35. BTW, this game could only have happened in Tampa.

Where nothing goes off as it should or is predicted.

You're welcome.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

36. Florida - the home of bizarre shit happening

and people doing bizarre things. :P

[TZ]

37. hmm- that might be true

The SB that my Skins lost to the Raiders was in Tampa Bay IIRC and it was a very strange game...

[Sheets of Easter]

42. I won't gloat, but I'll congratulate the Cards and their fans for a heart-stopping game.

By the 3rd quarter, I was feeling cynical. It took 16 unanswered Cardinal points to put be back in my place.

[1gobluedem]

43. Cards made it interesting at the end

But yahoo, Steelers won! :woohoo:

[begin_within]

44. It's the "unable to get Harrison's unnecessary beating up of a guy already down out of my head"

thread - payback for Rodney King or what? That was the defining image of the game.

[rainbow4321]

45. Why was he not thrown OUT of the game????

That was horrible...and it was fucking caught ON camera!!

And on a side note, bearly squeaking out a win by only 4 points over a team that was only 9-7 in their regular season doesn't say a whole lot about the Steelers. Just IMHO.

[begin_within]

47. Up until that I was really into the game... after that point I lost interest and went to listen

to music... that turned me off of football for a while. Glad it's the off season now. The fact that he was NOT ejected from the game, even if only as a symbolic gesture, is a big black mark against pro football in my opinion.

[Sheets of Easter]

58. Good gravy marie, it's not as if he killed the guy, or even injured him.

It was a dick move, he got penalized, and I agree he should have been thrown from the game. To portray it as some indelible mark upon pro football is a bit hyperbolic. Players in the "good old days" of football got away with worse, much worse.

[BlooInBloo]

51. Got a small head, do ya?

[begin_within]

56. You're an idiot

[BlooInBloo]

57. I know I won't be able to watch ANYTHING on teevee EVER again because of that play!

It is all tainted with the evil of that play!

OH WOE THE EVIL OF IT ALL!!!!!

:rofl:

[qanda]

48. WOO HOO!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!!!

That was a great game!

[BlooInBloo]

50. I'm suing. They ruined my prediction by going out fishing for a quarter.

(grumblegrumblegrumble)

[JVS]

52. It's not going fishing when you're the defense and you're worn out from playing the whole game.

Fishing on the part of the offense, yeah, but I think half of the team was just getting worn out.

[BlooInBloo]

54. Their defense hadn't been playing much at all when they *went* to lunch....

They mighta gotten but yah - the sputtering offense is what kicked it off fo sho.

[GOPisEvil]

53. OK - I'm calm about this now.

Congratulations to the Steelers. :)

I still wanted the Cards to win, dammit, and I still cannot stand the Steelers.

[PunkinPi]

55. .

:thumbsup: x3

:)

[tigereye]

59. hooray! Everyone here is psyched! Way to go Steelers!

:woohoo: :toast: :bounce: :party: :beer:

[PittPoliSci]

67. you know my feelings.

the sooner football season is over the better.

but i can't root against the steelers in the big game. so woooohooooooooo!!!!!!

[Initech]

64. I was rooting for the Cardinals but this was one of the best Super Bowls I've ever seen.

Came right down to the wire. :toast:

[Wapsie B]

66. All I can say is thank god it was the Steelers who got their 6th Lombardi Trophy

and not da 'boys. Good game Sixburg.

[Angleae]

68. There are steeler's fans that are disappointed.

Yes, those fans that made bets in vegas/online/etc. with a 6-7 point spread. They aren't too happy right now.

[taterguy]

69. Thanks for letting me know who won the game

My newspaper hasn't been delivered yet and I don't feel like opening another browser window

:yourock:

[Chan790]

70. BFD...

I came within 4 points of predicting the greatest upset of the SB era...back in the first round of the playoffs. :P

I'll go so far as to make this follow-up prediction. The Cardinals will win a Super Bowl before the Steelers make it to another one. Congrats to the Steelers on having won the most SB thus far, I wouldn't want to be tied with the Cowboys either.

[TZ]

71. Guess what Chan790...

No nekkid pictures for you! But props for making what seemed like an INSANE prediction and having it nearly come true!:hi:

[Chan790]

73. Drat.

:rofl: (I was going to use the implication of them to barter a portrait out of Dr. Strange.)

Well you never actually wagered nekkid pics, so I'm not out anything.

It's the second year in a row I've done this...last year I said "The only team in the playoffs I don't really want to see my Patriots face in the Super Bowl is the Giants." Well...the rest is legend.

[dugaresa]

72. Wooo Hoooo! Fireworks were going off last night in our town

It was a nail biter...but we won!

The Steeler Nation is proud ...hell the kids in Pittsburgh got 2 hour school delays...I am sure to compensate for lack of sleep over the game!

[reflection]

75. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. n/t

[JVS]

76. It feels good, doesn't it?

[reflection]

78. Like hot chocolate on a cold winter evening. :)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

77. Paging Kurt Warner.

[Baclava]

79. I just got back from Tampa.............woo-hoo!

The Greatest SB - EVAR!

The jealous haters will be green with envy for like...forever!!

hahahahahah

[JVS]

80. Oh. Awesome. Tell us how it was. Where did you go. What did you see?

[Baclava]

81. What did I see? Everything

The NFL Experience - hanging out around Radio Row see all the SB greats come and go.
The electric atmosphere areound town all week with 70,000 Steelers brothers and sisters EVERYWHERE!


A historic game for the ages. I'm still floating on a bubble.

[Baclava]

82. I gotta give the Cards some love too.

They fought hard, but destiny prevailed.

[PRETZEL]

83. This isn't a gloat response, only a congrats to my Steelers,

They didn't play the greatest of games but they made the plays when they had to. That's all that matters.

The Cards played the game of their lives. They have nothing to be ashamed about. Leave it at that. The refs didn't cost them that game. The challenge on Ben's run saved them 4pts. Last year under the same review system would have been inconclusive and the ruling on the field would have stood. Touchdown Pittsburgh. The block on Hightower on Harrison's run was legal. Lamar Woodley hit him on the shoulder, not in the back. Cards fans should ask Larry Fitzgerald why he ran through the sideline and in the process ran into Antrelle Rolle which cost him the ability to catch Harrison before he got to the goal line. The safety called on Hartwig I though was legit as was the personal foul calls on Harrison for mugging Francisco and the call on the roughing the holder. As for the "too many holding calls" on Arizona, maybe their fans should ask why they decided to go one on one against Pittsbughs two best pass rushers in Harrison and Woodley. I don't know why play wasn't stopped for the last review on that fumble. I've heard that the replay booth comfirmed right away that it was indeed a fumble, but they should have reviewed it anyway.

Things that weren't called but should have was Holmes' Lebron celebration. That's against the rules. But that's about it.

Pittsburgh made the plays when the game was on the line. End of story. Ben makes a great throw and Santonio makes an even greater catch. That's the story of the game from my own little biased perspective.

[JVS]

84. It's only called a gloat thread because that's a lounge tradition

do a search on steelers gloat threads
