No its a great day for the NFL. One of their 'labels,' the Pittsburgh Steelers took their top prize. Probably 45,000 plus Steeler fans made the effort and financial sacrifice to get to the game held in a city that most pundits were critical of. Detroit got an emormous shot in the arm, and one of its native sons came home to play his last game. Throw in Cowher coaching his home town team, and the venerable Rooneys, and you can't write a better story than this.

Couple that with the reception Franco Harris (waving the Towel) and future Governor of PA, Lynn Swann received...just makes it all the more surreal. It was Pittsburgh's night from the opening act. Both teams stumbled...but no one gave the Steelers anything. The best team won. Seattle is a great team. Pittsburgh was just better.

It's a great day for Pittsburgh, and congrats from a 'Hawks fan.

I don't think it is a great day for the NFL.

Seattle fans shouldn't use the officiating as an excuse for a game that the 'Hawks had plenty of chances to win, but they couldn't make it happen.

That doesn't change the fact that the officiating was questionable.

The refs don't work for the Steelers, and it doesn't take away from a great Steeler victory. I salute the team that made the best of what was available, and that was the Steelers, no doubt about it.

A great day for the NFL would have had either team winning with out questionable calls.

Again, congrats to the Steelers and the tremendous fans they have.
