Steelers are Superbowl XL Champions!

Congratualtions to the Pittsburgh Steelers!!! My team won the (extra large for me and froggiegirl) Super Bowl and I couldn't be happier! The first half of the game wasn't impressive, but the game really came to life in the second half. The last five minutes of the game was when all of the crucial plays happened. Quaterback Ben R (really long last name) #7 did a great job. Jerome "the Bus" Bettis announced his retirement from the AFL following his teams victory- what a way to go out! An estimated 90.7 million people watched the Steelers trounce the Seattle Seahawks, apparently this is the largest Superbowl audience since the Steelers played in the last title game in 1996. This year's audience was 5% larger than last year's Super Bowl. Well, duh. This year a really good team was actually playing in the Superbowl! (New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles). After the game, after the presentation of the trophy (given to team coach Bill Cowher who then presented the Vince Lombardi Trophy to 73-year-old owner Dan Roone) and MVP (Hines Ward) award, the post-game show came on with three broadcasters dressed in awful tweed (or something equally icky) sports jackets and mock turtlenecks. What I want to know is: What mook told them that they looked good? At one point, after returning from a commercial break the guys had to be told "GO" to actually start their speil! The guy in the middle, I forget his name, looked like a walrus- so we will call him Walrus man. He looked bored and out of it- totally unaware of the world around him. What I need a pic of him and photoshop two walrus tusks and then you will get a better idea of what I'm talking about. Then one idoit had to mention that Mike Martz was "haunting" the Seahawks. What the?! This comment came out of nowhere, I wonder if somebody dared him to do it.
