The Immaculate No-Replay Review

The Superbowl Good
*Jennifer Hudson’s National Anthem
*Bruce Springsteen’s Halftime performance
*The Excitement
*James Harrison’s 100 Yard Interception Return
*Larry Fitzgeralds 64 Yard touchdown Reception
*Kurt Warner and Big Ben
*The Movie Trailer Commercials: G.I. Joe, Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Monsters Vs Aliens 

The Superbowl Bad
*All the penalty’s, let them play for christ sakes
 *Hines Ward No-Show
*The Lack of a run-game for both teams
*The Cardinals stopping their blitzing on the Steelers final drive
*Matt Millen on the pre-game. This guy put together the worst team in NFL history… The (0-16) Lions. And they have him for pre-game commentary? (Needless to say when Millen picked the Cardinals i cried out in agony “WHY!?!?!”
*The Commercials. Just flat out pathetic this year. Few were actually funny and creative

The Superbowl Ugly
*The Ref’s not reviewing the final play of the game to make sure it was a fumble and not an incomplete pass. Just down right wrong. If it’s an incomplete pass the Cards have 8 seconds left from the 28 yard line. A distance that does not need a Hail Mary. A deep pass from Warner to Fitzgerald had an actually good chance of happening had they had a chance.

Listen, the Cardinals had plenty of chances to win the game. The final play of the Second quarter could have been stopped. The Steelers could have been stopped on their final drive. But that doesnt change the fact that if you have the ability to make sure you get a call right… MAKE SURE.

I Don’t know if it was a fumble or not. I didn’t think so. But instead of reviewing it and making sure it was a fumble now as a Cardinals fan i feel robbed. Robbed of one last shot at the endzone. One shot at one last miracle. If the Cards had the shot and missed it… would i still be pissed they lost? YES! But there would be no speculation.

It pains me so much. Because a review is so simple. It’s so damn simple. Yet i sit here a day later… and I’m still not getting that review. For the rest of history… Whether the Cardinals ever make it back to the Superbowl or not… that game will have always ended without a proper review.
