The Steelers! Base10 didn't think the Super Bowl was all that great. Sloppy play by the Steelers coupled with inneffective Seattle offense plus some--how shall we say--questionable calls against the 'Hawks in the first half all added up to a Steelers victory. I'm not saying they didn't deserve it, but the game wasn't that great.

Particularly bad media coverage: in the aftermath of the awarding of the Lombardi trophy, the hunk of crysstal passed through the hands of Jerome Bettis. He was immediately asked if he was going to retire. Bettis rather touchingly stated that this was probably the last stop for "The Bus." Reporters, please! The guy worked his whole career for a ring. Couldn't you let him savor the moment for five minutes before reminding him that he was at career's end? There would be plenty of time for this stuff on Monday's press conference. Base10 thinks this was a completely horrible was to treat one of the greatest players of our generation and an almost certain first ballot Hall of Famer.

Well, the season is over. Only the Pro Bowl stands between us and six months of football oblivion. Sigh.
