Superbowl XL - Fourth Quarter


  • Seattle looks like it’s finally found the keys to its offense and are taking it for a drive. Ooops, except for the inopportune holding penalty. And then a “huge sack” by someone who hasn’t gotten a sack since 2003. And then an interception. Ok, they found the keys and handed them over to the Steelers.
  • Druids networking under the stairs? This has been a really bad year for commercials except for Budweiser’s.
  • I saw Randle El throw some amazing passes when he was a QB for Indiana University, but none so amazing as the one he just threw as a wide receiver to Hines Ward for the big score. 21 - 10, Steelers.
  • I can hear the air hissing out of the Seahawk’s tires from here. And the Bus will be running out the clock for the Steelers to seal the win.
  • Detroit, when seen from a distance, in the dark, with spotlights sweeping the sky, actually looks remotely attractive. Unlike, say, in daylight, from a vantage point on the ground.
  • Big Ben may now have more rushing yards than passing yards. And that first down should break the back of the Seahawks’ rebound efforts, with the two-minute warning upon us.
  • Eleven points, no timeouts, two minutes. That’s the roadmap for Seattle. Looks bad for them, doesn’t it?
  • Short passes up the middle? Does Holmgren’s brain have an deadman switch that shuts down the system at the two minute warning?
  • It’s unanimous - Holmgren has run an exposition on how NOT to manage the clock in a football game. Steelers win, 21 - 10.
