Just how many men do you have to put on Fitz to prevent him from catching the ball? ---

Larry Fitzgerald should not lose. If there is any justice in this world, he’d better get another shot. 15 seconds. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > Holmes… MVP? I still think it was Farrior who made the game changing play. I would vote for him. Holmes would be acceptable but I still feel Farrior was the game changer with his INT and with his constant pressure and play. ---

His arm was absolutely moving forward. I really had no rooting interest in this game, but it’s unfortunate to see a game like this decided by a shitty call.That’s twice now the Steelers have won Superbowls because of bad calls. ---

I did want overtime. Or I didn’t want it to end. That was a slobberknocker, as they say.
