The 2008 NFL season is officially in the books.
In a way, this year was just like every other year, and in others, it was a year like none other.

Troy Polamolu returned one of Kurt Warner’s four interceptions for a touchdown and Willie Parker winged past the Cardinals for 135 yards on the ground and two scores as the Pittsburgh Steelers won their record-breaking sixth Super Bowl 31-14 over the Arizona Cardinals Sunday in Tampa.
Super Bowl XLIII was as lopsided as predicted. The favored Steelers dominated the Cardinals on both sides of the ball and two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner was a non-factor throughout the game, completing just 20 of 44 passes for 195 yards.

I’m struggling to come up with legitimate reasons why the Arizona Cardinals could win the Super Bowl this year. All I’ve got: they have gotten lucky every step of the way and, maybe, just maybe, they could get lucky one more time.
On the other hand, I have begun to compile endless reasons why the Steelers will win the Super Bowl, other than the fact that they have the best scoring defense (giving up just under 14 points per game in the regular season) and gave up the least yards per game, the least passing yards per game and the second least rushing yards in 2008.

It was a year full of ironic moments – New England’s Tom Brady got knocked out in his team’s first game, San Diego made an 8-8 playoff run, and Baltimore’s rookie quarterback Joe Flacco led his team to the AFC Championship. So, it makes perfect sense that the Arizona Cardinals will be playing in the Super Bowl, I guess.
Actually, it doesn’t. Not at all. No matter how many times I say it, it just doesn’t sound right in my mind.
