SuperBowl Thoughts

I was really emotionally drained after the superbowl yesterday; even a bit of a letdown today still. I had a lot of energy into rooting for the Cards, for no other reason than I just really despise the Steelers, and the Cards are a real feel-good story. They also have a bunch of players you like to root for. Kurt Warner is the ultimate good guy; humble to a fault and just a really nice story of everyone giving up on you (multiple times) and not only doing well but excelling. Larry Fitzgerald is just on another world as far as talent; and he seems grounded enough to be a really good guy in the NFL. On the other side you have thugs like Harrison who punches a guy on the ground and then throws him like a rag doll. Really classy. He should have been ejected; no question. He WILL be fined... honestly the NFL needs a policy like baseball, fights or other outside the rules issues need to be addressed. He should be suspended several games next year. Otherwise whats a fine? (As Plaxico so aptly showed) Hines Ward is another guy I wouldn't mind seeing getting T'd off on. Is there a cheaper player out there? I haven't seen them. Maybe (another class act) Suggs will 'put a hit out on him' next year. Can't say I'd be upset.

Anyway I'm still proud of the Cards, they had a great run; I think they should have won it, but they certainly showed the 'experts' that they belonged there. And that is the more important part.
