This hasn't been mentioned here yet but how about the job Big Ben did moving around in the pocket all game long. Buying time, extending plays and making the Ravens D work much harder to contain the Steelers offense. A great, great job by Ben.

Ben R. deserves some kind of medal for withstanding the beatings he's taken all year. Has a Super Bowl team ever had a worse offensive line than the Steelers '08 team? It would be interesting to know.

Barring a Big Ben injury or demotion, Big Ben or Kurt Warner will lead their team to victory and join the club of QB's with multiple Super Bowl rings (John Elway, Brett Favre and Tom Brady are more recent members of that elite club).


I'm going for Ben because, with all the hits he has taken, who knows what kind of NFL longevity he will have. Dick LeBeau is a great coach as well.

Odds-makers have Pittsburgh favored, but Arizona should be formidable.

Pass protecting probably not. I still think the Tampa line of 02' was one of the worst run blocking lines ever(for a championship team).

QBs with more than one Super Bowl championship ring: Bart Starr, Bob Griese, Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, Jim Plunkett, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, John Elway, and Tom Brady. Warner or Roethlisberger will become the tenth member of the club.

Warner would be the first to do it with two different teams.

No matter how coal black Arizona is, it was better to see them win with Warner than lose. Yes, Philadelphia had more whites, and a big white star receiver, but even if Philadelphia had all white receivers that had caught 20 touchdowns combined, the media would have lauded that black quarterback as the sole and only reason for the victory. No, I would think a white quarterback victory is a greater win because black quarterback failure is a real hemeroid in the asses of the casties boys.

That is not the way the NFL works.Boldin will be rewarded with more looks, while Urbantakes the field primarily as a decoy.

Well i would normally agree with you, but when boldin had his fit the offensive coordinator put him in his place instead of rolling over for him. Although urban will most likely not get anymore playing time, im just trying to think of ways a white WR could get some recognition now that Curtis and the eagles are out.

I apologize for my error.

Maybe I assumed he had 2 rings because of all the praise he has gotten from the media.

I hope you are right Taco. If America's caste team the Dallas Cowboys didn't completely give in under the pressure of crybaby punk extraordinaire Terrell Owens' rants, maybe there is hope that the NFL is slowly turning over a new leaf towards these childish and spoiled black prima donnas. Yeah I know, I am probably dreaming.

Favre's SB ring count just missed out on doubling in SB32 against Denver (otherwise Elway would have just one ring, assuming Supe 33 turned out the same as it did).
