Superbowl XL - Third Quarter


  • Willie Parker runs 75 yards for a Steelers TD in the opening moments of the half, and Cowher still looks pissed. What, did he call a passing play?
  • Or maybe Cowher doesn’t like his players setting records - that was only the longest rushing touchdown in Superbowl history.
  • Hines Ward’s hands - the vacuum that doesn’t lose suction. He’s saved Big Ben’s bacon twice here tonight.
  • I could go for a little more football and a little less close-angle injured-player crotch shots.
  • Jerome Bettis now has something like 20 times the ground yardage of Shawn Alexander, and he’s only been in the game for a quarter and a half.
  • Even the Bus cant make this one look good - Big Ben now has a 2:1 INT to TD ratio, and almost got a sexually transmitted disease on the runback the way he got jumped by somebody wearing blue. At least they didn’t get the touchdown they didn’t run it back for the touchdown.
  • Seahawks convert on the turnover - now 14 - 10. They’ve gotten as many turnover as they’ve missed field goals.
  • That is, by the way, another record - longest interception return in Superbowl history.
  • With one quarter left, it’s a tight game: Steelers leading 14 - 10.
