Do you recognize this scene? It's the #5 seeded (wildcard) NY Giants beginning their celebration of their upset victory in the 2007 Super Bowl over the #1 seed New England Patriots. Oh my god! A wild card team knocked off the one seed??? No fucking way! The G-Men won 11 straight games to close that season and played their best football when it counted most.
How about this one? Big Ben looks pretty surprised, doesn't he? Yeah. We all were. It's from Super Bowl XL. Pittsburgh was the #6 seed (wildcard). They beat the #1 seeded Seahawks. The Steelers just got hot at the right time. Which brings us up to Super Bowl XLIII. Well shit. What do we have here? The #2 seeded Steelers facing the #4 seeded Arizona Cardinals who limped into the playoffs at 9-7 (the worst record of any team in the playoffs) out of junior varsity that is the 2008 NFC West. And we've got to listen to Trey "Dingo" Wingo and Mike "I have the most obviously fabricated TV personality on earth" Golic tell us how much of a long shot the Arizona Cardinals are.
I mean, look at their full body of work! 9-7 in a terribly weak NFC West. Huge losses to the Pats, Jets and Vikings. Shit guys. Have you not been watching? They were underdogs against the Falcons, Panthers and Eagles. They're playing their best football of the season at the most important time. I'm not saying that they're a sure thing on Sunday, but goddamn it, can we not re-hash this same story-line again and again? How many times do we have to see an NFL team transform and re-define itself in playoff time before we give them a fighting chance? If you find yourself trolling the streets Sunday night, looking for the least surprised football fan on the planet, I'll be right here.

umm...i thought this whole article was going to be about tyree blowing manning on the 50-yard-line. then it wasnt'.
It was, originally, going to be about more NY athlete man sex. But I thought my previous post was enough. I decided to go another direction.
I actually think the Cards can and will win this game. Not impressed with the Steelers' O and I think the Cards will score on their D. This game hinges on Warner's play. If Warner has 2 turnovers max, the Cards win.
Oh yeah, and I guarantee at least 1 Anquan TD. Bet the prop.
