SBXLIII did not disappoint, at least from a viewer standpoint. It may arguably go down as the best Super Bowl game ever as both teams went back-and-forth like a ping pong ball in the 4Q.
As disappointed as I was that the Steelers did not get the money in the contest, it would be easy to go back and tell of how they could/would have beat the spread. The bottom line is they did not, walking away instead with their 6th Super Bowl ring.
From a fan standpoint, I have to wonder why Santonio Holmes was not flagged for excessive celebration immediately after his game winning touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone. A 15-yard penalty tacked on to the ensuing kickoff would have given Arizona desirable field position and with Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin - who knows what might have happened.
Somehow, most amazingly, the higher seeded team fell to 1-11-2 ATS in the last fourteen Super Bowl games. That's incredible!...
