Congratulations to the Steelers on being Super Bowl champions, but let's be honest--they are the worst team to win the Super Bowl since the 2001 Ravens. Like the Ravens, the Steelers had at times a dominating D with a mediocre offense at best. Of course Big Ben's better than Trent Dilfer, but no one on their offense scares opponents. They did everything they could to lose that game to the Cardinals. All in all, it was a great game. Thought both teams played their hearts out. 2. I will give credit to James Harrison for making an unbelievable play, a play that will probably go down as one of the best if not the greatest play in Super Bowl history, but man, oh man, I have to agree with John Madden (which hurts me to do so) in wondering how the hell Harrison didn't get ejected from the game late in the 4th for that personal foul where he basically shoved the guy's neck in the ground before punching him in the head. The fact that the officials witnessed the whole thing baffles me even more, making me thing they'd have an easy time ejecting him for a cheap shot(s). That ugly play put a sour taste in my mouth after I had the utmost respect for a 240+ man run 100 yards for a touchdown. 3.  Rodgers-Cromartie is going to be a great pro and has a bright, bright future. I like everything I see about this kid, especially how he made no excuses in Wyatt's article, citing that he just didn't play well. The other thing that was really impressive was how he stated he was going into the offseason to work on his weaknesses that the Steelers exposed. That to me is a sign of a great player, best of luck to him in the future and I think he will make tennessee area football fans proud in years to come.  4. Finally, Fitz is one of the brightest young stars of the NFL.  It's hard not to like a guy that plays the game with such passion and always looks like he's just having fun. More incredible than his touchdown catches though was the play he made right before halftime almost tracking down Harrison. Although he didn't get him down, go back and watch a replay of that. Fitz is 8 yards deep in the endzone and tracks Harrison down with 8 yards to go on the field. Incredible hustle play. Few comments on the game–
