Wow. They got Petraeus to make a cameo.

How... strange.

OMFG - the Zebras made a call AGAINST Pittsburgh? This may be a game after all!

Bad news for me (and The Jester probably) - big thunderstorm rolling in. Which means Channel 10 (the most fritziest of channels) is probably going to drop out.

The one coming from the Western District? It'll probably hit you before it hits me...I was about to brag that I've got Pay anyway but then realised it's satellite at home.

Massive play just then. TD pass knocked away and then a 5 yard penalty on top of it.

Yeah, sounds like it's coming from the West. I've been getting some distortion, but it's held up so far. Unlike me. Fucking washing on the line had me scrambling - then I tripped and went down in the heavy rain with the washing staying in place, but the peg bucket going everywhere. I then managed to spill the pegs everywhere twice more before making it back the 5 metres to tbe back door.

Come on Warner! Lets do something!

That was one hella return after the intercept, and one painful-ass looking head twist on the tackle. I bet he's out the rest of the game, but still gets MVP.

Bruce's halftime show simply kicked ass!

Looked a hell of a lot more like Intentional Grounding. I see the Zebras still love Pittsburg.

Zebra love is strong. That last penalty for roughing the holder was a joke. In the replay it was obvious from the replay from the guys windmilling arms that he was off-balance and had no control of his direction.

I missed the first half cause I really just didn't give a damn about this game and that looks justified. The pick 6 was a good play but it isn't much of a game, and they're throwing flags like it's going out of style.

If I fucking here the phrase "unnecessary roughness" one more time.

Jesus it's all happening. Graham puts them inside the 5 and now a safety to the Cardinals...close.

Considering the fucking assault that the Steeler player got away with (he should have been ejected) the Cardinals bare minimum deserved a safety.

Touchdown Cardinals!

Yes, rooting for Arizona. I have soft spots for the underdogs.

Unlike, my mom I have no attachment to either team. She's rooting for the Steelers and won't shut up now. It's moments like these that make me envy deaf people.

As much as I'm going for the Cardinals, those rules are fucking soft. They're men wearing body armour, they can handle some shoving.

Fuuuuuck.

Had power disconnected at my house from just into the 2nd... Only just got it back... This game looks fucking good. Glad I'm getting to see some of it.

FUCK! Warner fumbled, Steelers recover. This game's over, and Pittsburgh is the first to start the other hand.

Guess lightning can't strike twice (referring to last year, Giants over Pats).

It would've served the Steelers right if that game-winning drive had died because of a holding call. And I know I saw at least one case of a Steeler O-lineman with a fistful of red jersey.

Great... now I have to listen to the office Pittsburgh fan being smug.

Of course, after a month of hearing him, I'd have LOVED to shove a Cardinal win in his face. *sigh*

That was still one of the best Superbowl games I've seen played, even if it was damn near literally 'won on Penalties'. :mrgreen:
