[IamFogHat]

I guess the Hammer angle would have been funny, but did anyone else think the Ed MchMan being broke and his home seized just sad? In this economy? What were they thinking?

God I hate advertising.

[TooLowBrow]

its important to have BIG hands, STRONG hands

[cougarjake13]

damn on that replay it looked like the ball touched the ground

[spoon]

Come on zona get this to a FG game and then everyone sputter so the 1k is mine!

[cougarjake13]

its important to have BIG hands, STRONG hands

[spoon]

[TooLowBrow]

Macgruber!!

mac boo! ber

[IamFogHat]

I'm glad people from UBC are getting paid but oof, boo!

[spoon]

Pitt's punter is really bad and yet they get so much out of it. 47 yards when all is said and done, yet it had to be 38 in the air. Just like that punt versus my Chargers that hit a blocker in the helmet only 25 yards down field that ended up being a HUGE play.

And that skit was fucking bad for the bad years of SNL, let alone whored out for pepsi. Fuck NBC and pepsi.

[STC-Dub]

The Steelers D is not good against the hurry up at all.

Underdogs are actually making a boring game fucking interesting now. Very nice!

[biozombie]

I thought that was Fred Willard.

[Friday]

I thought that was Fred Willard.

[spoon]

Underdogs are actually making a boring game fucking interesting now. Very nice!

Well it's also amazing how good numbers in the grid can help as well. Get me 10 yards here Kurt. No more though.

[Friday]

roar

[spoon]

Come on WARNER! WTF!

[Friday]

dirty pennsylvania trash

[STC-Dub]

Ohh, half the distance to the goal from the two. Talk about a meaningless penalty.

[spoon]

Y the hell didn't they get a shot to kick the FG after that!?

Pitt didn't have the ball yet!?

They should have got the ball 4th and 5!

[spoon]

dirty pennsylvania trash

HEY!

[STC-Dub]

Unless there is a safety.

[Friday]

HEY!

:laugh:

not YOU!

[PD]

Ohh, half the distance to the goal from the two. Talk about a meaningless penalty.

came very close to being important.

[STC-Dub]

Y the hell didn't they get a shot to kick the FG after that!?

Pitt didn't have the ball yet!?

They should have got the ball 4th and 5!

The penalty was after the ball was kicked.

[Friday]

safety!

[PD]

what a turn around;
call back catch, and get caught with safety

[Snoogans]

lets GO BIRDS

[disneyspy]

holt shit huge penalty!!!

[led37zep]

Oh damn!

[IamFogHat]

Holy Fuck! Someone will regret that the rest of their life. Unless they win of course.

[STC-Dub]

Wow, from a 1st down to a safety, there is a swing.

[cougarjake13]

Y the hell didn't they get a shot to kick the FG after that!?

Pitt didn't have the ball yet!?

They should have got the ball 4th and 5!

as michaels said it was after the punt left the kickers foot so possesion changed and it was pitts ball

[west milly Tom]

Wow, some call there.

[Tenbatsuzen]

And the freekick will give them much better field position than the kick off.

This is gonna be a big finish.

[spoon]

The penalty was after the ball was kicked.

Are you sure? And is that the rule of poss?


Oh and now I need a Pitt D TD to win the 1 k. I really have good numbers to be in it all day.

[ZigZagBigBag]

kurt warner's mom should pray harder!

[IamFogHat]

How can you work on House and be an NFL coach?

[spoon]

Come on Warner, now I need you to suck!

[Tenbatsuzen]

Warner's got the yips. Ever since that great drive he's shit the bed.

[biozombie]

Ha Ha !

[PD]

Warner's got the yips. Ever since that great drive he's shit the bed.

Fitz mvp?

[Snoogans]

[epo]

Fitz is just amazing.

[Friday]

HOLY SHIT!

I just screamed!!

[led37zep]

Oh Damn!

[BlackSpider]

this game kicks ass...

[Tenbatsuzen]

And that was Matty Fridays' Hippo Moment.

Too much time for the Steelers. 2:30 left. Can the Cards D hold?

BTW, that Safety means a TON Now.

[disneyspy]

matty edit your post,quick

[IamFogHat]

Get The Fuck Out!

[STC-Dub]

No yips anymore.

[cougarjake13]

guess not

Fitz mvp?

easily if the score remains the same

[TheMojoPin]

MOTHERFUCK THAT SHIT.

Smash it back into their teeth, Steelers.

[KnoxHarrington]

The Steelers defense totally shit the bed there.

But, then again, Larry Fitzgerald tends to do that to you. What a fucking player.

[razorboy]

Fuck Yeah, Fitz!!

[King Hippos Bandaid]

touchdown Cardinals


holy shit,


Im waiting for Alan Funt to tell me Im on Candid Camera

[MIKEYDAKEN]

congrats to the steelers on winning their 6th super bowl title

ummmm........

[Tenbatsuzen]

BTW, Spoon, since you know who won't see it, you made a shitload of sense in the I Support thread. I'm specifically not mentioning names so it won't show up in a search.

One thing I wanted to bring up - he takes his support for her seriously - but doesn't he realize that just by appearing on the show it opens up a pile on her?

[lleeder]

And that was Matty Fridays' Hippo Moment.

I agree.

[STC-Dub]

Well he's dead so you will be waiting a while.

[PD]

The Steelers defense totally shit the bed there.
.

that's why I hate those prevent defenses.

[spoon]

No ring for the second hand bitch!

[Snoogans]

this sure turned into an awesome game

[Friday]

there is way too much time on the clock.

steelers fans have to be shitting themselves right now.

go cards, go!

[Tenbatsuzen]

Cards had a ton of shitty penalties for the first 3Qs, now the Steelers are losing all discipline.

[lleeder]

That was some scrambling there.

[Tenbatsuzen]

that's why I hate those prevent defenses.

Prevent D just prevents wins.

[TheMojoPin]

Hey, why not use PM's?

[PD]

there is way too much time on the clock.

steelers fans have to be shitting themselves right now.

go cards, go!

there is time, but you see the way the momentum turned with that first Fitz TD - all of a sudden the cards defense played stronger.

[TooLowBrow]

That was some scrambling there.

i cant see how they couldnt tackle him

[Snoogans]

Im real glad I stayed with this game while it was kinda boring

[Tenbatsuzen]

Is it sad that I could identify all of those implanted models in that Go Daddy commercial?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

no more punts please

[epo]

That Danica Patrick sure knows how to whore herself out.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Hey, why not use PM's?

My inbox is pretty full. I need to clean that out.

[KnoxHarrington]

If this game goes into OT, expect tons of whiny sports columns about how the NFL's OT rule needs to be changed tomorrow.

[STC-Dub]

I don't think the Steelers are going to cover.

[west milly Tom]

Im real glad I stayed with this game while it was kinda boring



I missed the last 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter, nap time.

This has been a great game in the 4th.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Quote Jeff Reed: "I don't want to be the guy kicking with the game on the line. I'd rather be celebrating on the sidelines."

[MIKEYDAKEN]

Is it sad that I could identify all of those implanted models in that Go Daddy commercial?

hey theres a reason it's called THE MATTY FRIDAYS SPECIAL

[Friday]

this is an insane game now.

[Snoogans]

oh man, not good

[disneyspy]

fuck what a great game

[PD]

wtf was holmes doing????

[KnoxHarrington]

So what was that about how Roethlisberger is only a game manager and can't drive his team?

Joe Montana would approve of this drive.

[STC-Dub]

Great game!

[cougarjake13]

If this game goes into OT, expect tons of whiny sports columns about how the NFL's OT rule needs to be changed tomorrow.



goodell already said this week he's gonna look into changing it

[TheMojoPin]

Come on, fuckers...make Warner HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Too much time.

[STC-Dub]

Anyone for penalty kicks?

[KnoxHarrington]

goodell already said this week he's gonna look into changing it

I could live with a rule that says both teams get a possession in the OT. That's fine.

I just don't want that garbage system college has.

TOUCHDOWN STEELERS!

Holy fuck what a game

[Snoogans]

amazing catch

[Friday]

fucking unbelievable

[PD]

goodell already said this week he's gonna look into changing it

I think Mike & Mike talking this morning had decent idea-

make it first to 6 pts in OT.

[STC-Dub]

What a catch!

[Snoogans]

thats terrible coverage, jesus, someone get over there

[epo]

He had both feet in.

[PD]

fucking unbelievable

you can say it again.

[TheMojoPin]

Oh my God, what an outstanding catch.

[Friday]

do toes count? or do you have to actually balance?

ballerina TD ftw? wow.

holy crapness

[cougarjake13]

td looks like it will stand

[spoon]

What a catch!

Fitz and Holmes have been INSANE!

[King Hippos Bandaid]

NB Cee the Cardinals super bowl win slip away

[cougarjake13]

do toes count? or do you have to actually balance?

ballerina TD ftw? wow.

holy crapness

toes count

[Hottub]

No doubt

[west milly Tom]

Clearly a td

[TheMojoPin]

That catch was a thing of beauty. All hail, fools.

[Friday]

ballerina TD counts!

wow. what a game.

[KnoxHarrington]

One of the best plays in Super Bowl history was followed soon afterwards by another of the best plays in Super Bowl history.

Up to you, Kurt and Larry.

[STC-Dub]

thats terrible coverage, jesus, someone get over there

I do not think there was any way to defend that pass unless they had a guy where Holmes was.

[spoon]

I think Mike & Mike talking this morning had decent idea-

make it first to 6 pts in OT.

Nah, I say make it a continuation of the game. No more extra coin tosses and simply continue where you left off if tied.

[cougarjake13]

2 timeouts and fitz


cards have a shot

[disneyspy]

hippo is singin,its over

[spoon]

I do not think there was any way to defend that pass unless they had a guy where Holmes was.

Yah, let's not underestimate that fucking throw either!

[STC-Dub]

Yes the Cardinals do have a chance the way the Steelers D has done against the hurry-up.

[epo]

Fitz is just sick.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

hippo is singin,its over

fat men singing don't count

[spoon]

If somehow Fitz takes this to the house this game and his performance will be ledgendary!

[epo]

Nah, I say make it a continuation of the game. No more extra coin tosses and simply continue where you left off if tied.

So at the end of a tie game it changes from a 2 minute drill to a 17 minute drill?

Seems a bit flawed.

[Tenbatsuzen]

In the playoffs, you play a full 15 minute quarter.

In the regular season, first to six makes sense.

[PD]

Yah, let's not underestimate that fucking throw either!

and the way Ben slipped around the pressure all night.

[STC-Dub]

Bad play calling here. No time outs with 15 seconds left at mid field is not good.

[STC-Dub]

Time for another review...

[disneyspy]

wow,outstanding game:clap:

[west milly Tom]

That's the game folks.

[spoon]

game over

[TheMojoPin]

Out-fucking-standing.

Enjoy the hurt, Kurt.

[STC-Dub]

What an ending to a very good second half.

[PD]

Congratulations, Pittsburgh Steelers, super bowl champions.

[cougarjake13]

steelers are your champions

[MIKEYDAKEN]

fat men singing don't count

i'll just be quit now

[epo]

Much better game than it looked to be in the first quarter.

[disneyspy]

brett favre>kurt warner

[STC-Dub]

Congratulations Steelers and Cardinals for playing a tough game.

[spoon]

So at the end of a tie game it changes from a 2 minute drill to a 17 minute drill?

Seems a bit flawed.

Let's be honest, all the plans have flaws. I just wanted to throw that out there too. Still, if down the 2 minute drill would be the same. If tied, it does change things even if you have little time left on the clock. Your play selection becomes important as opposed to running out the clock and going to OT. I'm not big on an artificial score threshold to say the least. It's either a full 15 minutes and you suck it up, or you end the regular season games in a tie.

[led37zep]

Great game!

[disneyspy]

congrats you dirty pennslyvania trash

[STC-Dub]

I really hope Namath is drunk when he presents the MVP trophy.

[PD]

so does this last drive become better than Montana's?

[Friday]

can't complain about this game.
got my emotions going! (maybe it was my pms too... haha)

big win for coach Tomlin.. youngest head coach in Super Bowl history.... good for him!!

[spoon]

big win for coach Tomlin.. youngest head coach in Super Bowl history.... good for him!!

You got PMs! Lucky u!

[epo]

I really hope Namath is drunk when he presents the MVP trophy.

Maybe he'll ask Dan Patrick to kiss him?

[cougarjake13]

so does this last drive become better than Montana's?

i say no

[STC-Dub]

Maybe he'll ask Dan Patrick to kiss him?

I wanna kiss you Bob Costas.

[spoon]

NANNER PUSS!

Yah!

[STC-Dub]

so does this last drive become better than Montana's?

I also say no.

[led37zep]

so does this last drive become better than Montana's?

No...NEVER.

[PD]

No...NEVER.

ok.

I think its at least close.

[epo]

Does Roger Goodell catch anybody else as a gigantic douche?

[STC-Dub]

Lot's of people I think.

[TooLowBrow]

i like the fact the 'steeler nation' encompasses a whole nation but its much less asinine than an 'america's team'

[STC-Dub]

Hear Us Talk is down so that is my queue. It was fun buddies, I will have to try more live threads. Seeya.

[disneyspy]

acording to friday;steeler nation is dirty pennslvania trash

[cougarjake13]

i like the fact the 'steeler nation' encompasses a whole nation but its much less asinine than an 'america's team'

i hate that everyone uses it now after the red sox

[TooLowBrow]

i hate that everyone uses it now after the red sox

i thought altanta or the dallas cowboys was first

[disneyspy]

i hate that everyone uses it now after the red sox

americas team doesn't

[epo]

americas team doesn't

Actually the Packers don't.

[Tenbatsuzen]

i hate that everyone uses it now after the red sox

To be honest, the Steelers were much more wide-spread across the nation and popular before the Red Sox were.

[disneyspy]

ok lets get this shit over so they can show THE OFFICE

[hammersavage]

I still can't get over the Steelers being 142-1 when they get an 11 point lead since 1988 or something.

That is just astounding. And they had a 13 pt lead tonight and then trailed.

[PapaBear]

I still can't get over the Steelers being 142-1 when they get an 11 point lead since 1988 or something.

That is just astounding. And they had a 13 pt lead tonight and then trailed.
I was shocked about Arizona's recent record in the red zone. In their last 15 trips to the red zone (previous to the interception on the 1) they made 10 TD's and 5 FG's. It was a damn good game. Too bad I had to listen to most of it on the radio. I'm going to scan the highlights on tape, but I would have loved to watch it live.

[hammersavage]

It was a great game. A few too many penalties called in the 3rd (bad calls on both sides) for the game to reach a good rhythm. But then they both threw haymakers late and Ben showed he is the best closer in football today.

Last year's late TD and this year's came with 35 seconds to play. Can't ask for much more than that.

Fitzgerald becomes the face of the league after this postseason.

James Harrison's play was the single biggest momentum turner in SuperBowl history. It was a minimum 10 point swing to end the half after Arizona kinda hit the Steelers in the mouth.

I'm a huge fan of Ben so I'm happy as hell.

[PapaBear]

HA HA HA HA!!!!:clap::thumbup::laugh:

Ariz. TV station says porn clip interrupts Super Bowl (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/super-bowl/02/02/superbowl.porn.ap/index.html?eref=si_nfl)



PHOENIX (AP) -- A Tucson television station's broadcast of the Super Bowl on Sunday was interrupted for some viewers by about 10 seconds of pornographic material, the station said.
KVOA TV in Tucson released a statement saying that the only viewers who were able to see the material were those who receive the channel through Comcast cable.



He said the interruption came just after the Arizona Cardinals (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/cardinals)' Larry Fitzgerald (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/players/6762) scored on a long touchdown reception during the final minutes of the game.

In all honesty, if you're a Cardinals fan, seeing that touchdown followed by porn must have been a pretty good experience.

I just want to know one thing. What moron was in charge of designing the championship apparel? It's the fucking colors of the Seahawks!

What, did Mike Holmgren in his ever pissy state and still holding a grudge over what he perceived as the refs stealing the game from him, decide that's how the stuff should look?
