Doesn't it seem rather funny that leading up to the Pitt/Indy game, the buzz was on Saint Peyton finally climbing Mt. Lombardi - and the calls went their way?

Isn't it funny, that after 2 weeks of Steeler pre-Coronation in their "2nd hometown" that all the calls went their way?

I've watched the Packers get calls for years. I'm used to seeing calls that I can't believe. :)

And I think Seattle got a very raw deal in the Super Bowl. But there are too many things that can happen in a football game, with large men smashing into each other, for me to think the outcome is predetermined. JMO.

The game is over. The Steelers won.

Detroit is a five hour drive from Pittsburgh. That is just basic geography that can't be changed either. Holmgren, in an interview I heard this morning, is now whining about the number of Steeler fans 'let into Ford Field.' Can you get anymore crybaby than that? Did the Steeler faithful get comp tickets? Did get free logdings and food in Detroit? Ahhh...no. They paid. They came (by the thousands, evidenced by a 6 mile back up in Toledo, OH, Monday morning by PA plates getting on the Ohio Turnpike for the drive east). Of the millions spent in Detroit last weekend, alot of it came from Steeler fans...isn't that what the NFL/Detroit planners wanted? Isn't the game supposed to be a money maker?
