We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

My Super bowl predictions
I think the Arizona cardinals will win the super bowl! They have an amazing offense and will outscore the Steelers. I know I am in the minority so lets see if I am right. I think it will be a high scoring game like 35 to 30. I know the Steelers are the better team, but it the Cardinals want it more, they can win!
Clearly the Steelers "wanted it" more.
ReplyDeleteI guess Arizona did't want it as much. They didn't score as much as they would have needed to in order two in.
ReplyDeleteyeah, maybe "wanting it" isnt the best measure to use in the super bowl. Maybe, which team has the better players/game plan. obviously they didnt score as much as they needed to win, that explains why they lost. you're starting to sound like john madden. the team that scores the most points is probably going to win the game
ReplyDeleteI think the measure of "wanting it" was accurate it. Arizona has an amazing offense and if they really wanted it they could have won easily. As we saw throughout their season they fall asleep sometimes. What I meant about scoring more points is Pittsburgh does have a better overall team and better defense. Thus, as I said in my original post, Arizona was going to have to score at least 30 points to win.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that Arizona defense really really really wanted to win a Superbowl but there's a big difference in wanting something and having the talent to do it.
ReplyDeletePlus, Todd Haley had some really shitty play calling in the first half. Like really bad.
I am sure Arizonia's defense wanted it too, but what I was saying their defense isn't that good so if they were going to win, it was up to their offense to score a lot!
