Super Bowl XLIII Game Thread - Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona Cardina (2 Viewers)

WHAT DID OBAMA HAVE TO DO WITH THE STEELERS WINNING TONIGHT?

He was rooting for the Steelers. You seem offended...why?

 

[T Bell]

You know what would be cool? Next year they should have some kind of technology that would allow the refs to review that last play just to make sure they got it right. They could call it Instant Rewatch or CYA Machine or Wow are we incompetent, we need help.I really think they need to make this happen!

 

[chris1969]

Regardless of how this game ended, we can all be happy that another season has gone by and the Patriots have not won another Super Bowl. You think Steelers fans are bad?

Ladies and gentleman... The official winner of the 2009 FBG pot/kettle award.

 

[Swamprat]

Rooney thanks Obama first in his acceptance speech.

That's cool. I am not by the TV, what was the quote?

"Thank you President Obama"

Class act by Rooney, thanking the President.

Thanking him for . . . ?

WHAT DID OBAMA HAVE TO DO WITH THE STEELERS WINNING TONIGHT?

He backed them. Winners are there at the winning time.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Good night. Congrats to all Steelers fans that aren't obnoxious homers. I'm going to sleep on the whole "Thank You President Obama" thing. Obama did nothing to help you win the Super Bowl.

Support.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Why was Holmes not flagged for using the ball as a prop in the celebration.

Other than the fact that the refs were in the tank for the Steelers, that is.

 

[TidesofWar]

Steelers ownership/management group=all class

Funny - A friend of mine that played for that group seven years would label them as 'All Cheap, All Phony, All The Time"

Class act by Rooney, thanking the President. After the Cards beating the Eagles, I'm about the furthest thing from a RedBirds fan.....but I'm a little dissapointed in that final Cardinals play from a reffing POV.

Why is that classy? Wasn't there a big to do in the Steeler ownership to consolidate it b4 Obama taxes the #### out of them?

Does the Rooney Rule extend to acceptance speeches?

"lmao: this is GOLD!

 

[duece2626]

Those who complain about the refs should write to the league office. Better yet, don't watch the NFL, crybabies, if you haven't figured out nobody's perfect even with the technology involved.

Warner deserved the MVP, but Cards didn't deserve to win since they didn't stop Pgh in Crunch-time.

Steelers won their 6th legitimate Super Bowl. Deal with it.

In a day and age where Hillary changes baseball caps depending on what city she's in and Giuliani throwing the Yanks under the bus.....it's refreshing to see a national politician come out and support a team.

WHAT DID OBAMA HAVE TO DO WITH THE STEELERS WINNING TONIGHT?

He backed them. Winners are there at the winning time.

Or he promised his senate seat to that paid-for lead official

The movie was better.

OBAMA >>>>> GOD

 

[cowboyz]

biggest question to me is why run that slant to boldin at the end of the half?

why not isolate fitz like the did on that td pass?

 

[CrossEyed]

WHAT DID OBAMA HAVE TO DO WITH THE STEELERS WINNING TONIGHT?

Rooney has been a big Obama supporter for quite a while.

Doesn't answer the question.

Just explaining what I know.

By far the worst group is the Patriots Hating Tools. Patriots had nothing to do with this post season yet you still pump their egos by talking about their team over a month since the playoffs started? They don't need any for validation.

 

[FUBAR]

As a Cardinals fan, I won't blame the refs. I'll blame the interception to end the half, and their inability to find an answer for Holmes. The Cards easily could have won this. But they didn't.

I'm heartbroken, but grats Steelers.

What happened to the the next Deion Sanders??

Well if Steelers are fortunate to beat Ravens he will easily LOCK DOWN any reciever they have..... Actually, he could probably cover Hines and Holmes at the same time.

He apparently grew up a Steelers fan and had a lot of support by the Rooneys, Franco Harris and others on the campaign trail.

Sorta. There were definitely a couple, shall we say "dubious" calls."In the tank" is just though.

That even makes Obama's support for the Stillers that much more great.

WHAT DID OBAMA HAVE TO DO WITH THE STEELERS WINNING TONIGHT?

Steeler cry "YES WE CAN!"

"Yes we can hire tax cheats?"

It's this kind of comment that makes me thankful we finally have a competent President. With Bush, we were complaining about torture and war criminals. Now all people can do is complain that some guy didn't pay enough taxes. Bush, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, and Cheney killed thousands of Americans and destroyed the economy, but OMG OBAMA HIRED A TAX CHEAT! It's a good time to be an American.

He's not a Cards or McCain fan Colombo.

You don't have to be perfect to look at it. That's being competent. Big difference.

Yeah, well, the League sends its most incompetent people to referee the Super Bowl only when Pittsburgh wins. Is that right? Apparently, that's what the Steeler haters who are so jealous and that populate this board think. Look, it's over. We'll send you a Terrible Towel or 2 to weep and sob into. Better make it 6 to match the Super Bowl wins.

Was thinking the same thing. I didn't see the coverage on Fitz on that play, but what's done is done.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Rooney thanks Obama first in his acceptance speech.

That's cool. I am not by the TV, what was the quote?

Something like, "First off, I'd like to thank President Obama for the strength and will to go out there tonight....."

 

[Fantaholic]

First off I dislike the Steelers just as much as their fans dislike the Patriots. However, I do give credit when it is due and they deserve it with this win.

My only question is how the hell does Big Ben not get the MVP???? His final drive goes down with anything I've ever seen from Brady, Montana, Elway, etc. That final drive was brilliant and he was far more crucial than Santonio was in orchestrating it. Just thought I would share my opinion there, becuase I think it's crazy. Anyways, great game and all that were a part of it deserve great credit

 

[flapgreen]

Hey Harrison, what happened when you were punching the player that was down on his knees, scumbag

That's what I was wanting the reporter to ask him

 

[Lehigh98]

Man, how many people can they fit at that postgame desk with Costas?

 

[CrossEyed]

Can we stop all the "Ben isn't a very good QB" talk now?

 

[AB in DC]

It can't be a Super Bowl without someone complaining about the refs, I guess.

 

[Finless]

Whisenhunt is all class. You know in the back oh his head he's thinking: "####, we've been freerolling since the first week of the playoffs"

I love talking politics just as much, or more, than the next guy.But not here. Can we just drop it and talk about the bought off refs?

? Please share the real story. I only refer to what I read at ESPN.

 

[CrossEyed]

It's a shame that the Pittsburgh has two fake championships. I'd hope if I were a Pittsburgh fan that I could at least be proud of something they had done.
