Superbowl XLIII was a Hell of a Game

Well, let me tell you that last nights Superbowl was a hell of a game.  Not because the Steelers won, but because the Cardinals gave them a run for their money in the second half.  I was originally going with Will Ferrell’s prediction of 2 – 0 Steelers won in second overtime, but the first few minutes of the game smashed that prediction.  So I had to settle back into reality and assume it was going to be a normal game but probably leaning on the side of the Steelers since they were the favorite in the match-up.  I really didn’t think that the Cardinals could at all even play a decent game…after all, they had never won a Superbowl.

The second half came after Bruce Springsteen took the stage for 12 minutes (I am not going to comment about the performance) and I just figured that the Steelers would walk all over them.  What I believe happened is called “over confidence”.  The Steelers assuming that the game was won, just did not play as hard.  That gave the Card’s an opportunity to sneak back into the game.  They did and the game boiled down to the last few seconds, but the Steelers prevailed non the less, but the Cardinals gave them a run for their money.

All in all, the game was entertaining.  I didn’t really care who won since the Patriots were not in it.  I picked the Steelers to win, but near the end, a part of me wanted the Cardinals to take it.  Either way, I spent some great time with family and friends, eat great food, and all was well.  I was kind of surprised with all the local commercials that appeared, there was not one regarding the Tampa Real Estate market.  Oh well, there is always next year.
