Too Many for One Hand

Posted on 17:00 by Unknown

I guess pot does make you smarter

In what must have been a top five if not the best ever Super Bowl, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 at the last second to win Super Bowl 43 and secure their sixth league championship. No NFL team had six Super Bowl trophies before Sunday.

This game featured an opponent left for dead as the Steelers built a 20-7 first half lead over the Cardinals, punctuated by James Harrison's 100 yard interception return for a touchdown as the half expired, it was the longest play in Super Bowl history.

But Arizona would not go quietly, Larry Fitzgerald scored two fourth quarter touchdowns as the Cardinals mounted the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history to take the lead 23-20 with under three minutes to play.

On the ensuing drive with the game on the line Ben Roethlisberger drove the Steelers 78 yards on eight plays including four catches by Super Bowl MVP and pot smoker Santonio Holmes, the final play a six yard falling out of bounds corner route Santonio caught between three Cardinals defenders for a touchdown.

It was a great game, conflatulations to the Steelers.
