The big mistake that I saw that could have changed the outlook of this game was in the second half with 18 seconds left when the Pittsburgh Steelers intercepted the ball. The Cardinals should have went for the field goal instead of trying to run it for a touch down knowing that the Steeler defense was there. The Steelers are known for interceptions like this. If the Cardinals would have went for the field goal in the second quarter the score would have been 10 Pittsburgh
10 Cardinals. In the end the Cardinals just started too late to try to make the comeback from their earlier mistake costing them the game. Warner has still got the fire but the team needs too learn how to adjust to Warner. Pittsburgh just had their number in the end and it was just a matter of time before Holmes would steal one for his team.
Is it just me, or was this Super Bowl flanked by the most boring, uninventive commercials ever? I guess the commercial people are just like the movie people ... they are out of ideas, and either giving up or just stealing from the past ....
cardinals should have won because they are an alsome team and have great defense
i love football
hey ms.algrem its ashley and kayla and we thought that the game was really great but the cardinals should have won !!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Pittsburgh Steelers!!!!! If I was a gambler I would have made a fortune..... The Arizona Cardinals have never won a Super Bowl - Keep it real sympathy voters.....

Entertaining again you are Mr. Reed, like cars and snacks were stolen, you stole the show here on Examiner the morning after the big game.
PS: Tell Dr. Jenkins he's lucky he isn't a gambling man because he actually would not have made a fortune in fact he would have lost with a bet on the Steelers with the point spread.
