After wiping the floor with Manning, et al. last week, my beloved Steelers took care of the Broncos with similar aplomb today.
Seeing as how all the Steelers have to do to claim the Vince Lombardi trophy is to steamroll some obscure team from the Northwest, I expect that this year’s Super Bowl shall be a (yawn) routine affair.
Of course, one way of looking at this situation is that the Lombardi trophy is customarily awarded to the best team remaining after the playoffs. Perhaps we should adopt something similar to the BCS system and just crown the Steelers right now. No need for a game, they already beat the Colts, so what’s left to prove?
I do sympathize with those Seahawks fans; however, they should console themselves in advance with the cheery thought that in the Super Bowl, everybody’s a winner.
Super Bowl XL: Steelers, 21-10.
Uh uh, buddy boy. Try again. Perhaps you forgot the little tidbit of information that the Seahawks had already beaten the Colts before the playoffs. I mean, we beat Manning, so what’s left to prove, right?
I’ll tell ya what’s left to prove. Seattle had never been to the Superbowl before this, and the city hasn’t had a championship since 1979. They got lots to prove.
Seahawks, 23-17.
I’m with Dave.
Go Hawks!
