I do give Ben a lot of credit for 'fessing up that he didn't get the ball to the line until after he was down. Pretty classy.

My beef hasn't been with the Stealers anyway, even though the name now fits. It's the orgyastic media & advertising culture that's overtaken the NFL & sports in general, college & pro in recent years. All that matters is multi-billion dollar TV rights contracts, the sport itself is secondary.

Thus we have most fans, the league & most personnel connected in any way with football and SB XL panting & drooling for one particular team team to win. If that team happens to be the best that day, great! If not, they are all too happy to take it any way they can.
