Re: (08/09) Superbowl XLIII: Arizona vs Pittsburgh
I only followed this game today because there was an Aussie involved. Pretty unlucky that he didn't win.
The thing that does annoy me about American sports though is the fact that they crap on about being 'World Champions'. What a load of shit.

Re: (08/09) Superbowl XLIII: Arizona vs Pittsburgh
**** me, where do I start? Had footy tonight and went to the pub for poker after so this is the first time I've been on BigFooty and first of all I'd like to say I know the pain and feel for Wizard and my moneys. But really what an amazing game.
Started at 9:30, we decided to go with 10HD with the Madden/Michaels commentary so it was mobile phones off and phone pulled out the wall.
Big Ben almost scoring the first TD had me jumping around like an idiot with my money on him, only to have my heart ripped out with a challenge. Then I was infuriated they as opted for the FG and not the QB sneak
After that the game went was dead. Steelers jumped out while the Cards burned themselves. Half time and it was Nachos and Dr Peppers.
The 4th quarter. Oh boy..... With money on the Cards we were riding them all the way(the party). When Larry got the first TD we had a feeling they were on a roll, then the whole safety thing had us jumping around and high fiving. Then the big pass to Larry for his second TD probably had the whole neighborhood wondering what the hell was going on. When the Steelers drove up the field I thought OT was inevitable, something I had predicted earlier in the week. Then Holmes.... dreams were shattered and the rest is history.

Re: (08/09) Superbowl XLIII: Arizona vs Pittsburgh
Yep, we mentioned it at the time too in the thread. How Rory must be pissed off. But it kept happening, huh, with the Cards losing at the death. Double-whammy. That's why I never bet on the SB, makes it harder to enjoy the game for the game's sake.

Re: (08/09) Superbowl XLIII: Arizona vs Pittsburgh
Hey W_Fan, are you talking about the guy at the Brighton?
If so, he was happy as larry when the Steelers were rolling, and the minute the Cards showed something he turned on a few people around him.
He was a little too pumped up for the game, but there's always one who takes things a little too far!

Saw you there and was going to come and have a chat post-game, but I looked around and you'd done a runner. (I wasnt moving during the game, too supersticious for that)
About 80/20 support in favour of the cards - that group of Steeler fans (about 6 of us) were copping it in the 2nd half....deserved it too because we were certainly enjoying the good stuff in the first.
The guy next to me won $5k. Put $200 on the Steelers at $25 a few months back. He's a massive gambler though, top block too.
As to the game, I think we were the better team that did get the better end of the 50/50 calls. I thought the roughing the passer call was a bit soft, but you know, as a defender, you just dont put yourself in a position where the call can be made - there was no need for him to do it, he could have avoided it and he didnt.
So, 3 years ago I had a pretty magical week; sequentially I had a small lotto win, my daughter was born, had another small lotto win, the Steelers won the Superbowl, and picked up the wife and daughter from the hospital on the same day. 8 days of bliss.
Fast forward to this week; small lotto win, my son was born, had another small lotto win, the Steelers won the Superbowl, and picked up the wife and son from the hospital to come home on the same day. 8 more days of bliss.

Re: (08/09) Superbowl XLIII: Arizona vs Pittsburgh
Well I'd need one to wave one, but dont worry, I gave plenty. My larynx can testify to that.
Got a surprise call from Woodson in the afternoon - havent spoken with him personally before but it was an excellent call - I guess any call between two Steeler fans post victory cant go far wrong.
I can report there was much terrible towel waving going on in Perth too, though I don't think Statsman74 participated in any.
Poor form Statsman, poor form. At least one or two of his mates made up for it.

That's really like winning money, if you think about it!
He said little lotto wins tho.
Well I didn't lose all my money

Yeah, was keen to grab a bite to eat and get into some airconditioning. That place was bloody humid.

Re: (08/09) Superbowl XLIII: Arizona vs Pittsburgh
They were small wins, I'm not being modest but honest. The 4 wins I mentioned wouldnt have won more than $200 in total.
So given that I can determine when the Steelers win Superbowls how much should I ask from the Rooneys to sponsor any future children? Pretty expensive schooling these days....the Steelers are worth $1bn......surely its worth the investment from them.....

Re: (08/09) Superbowl XLIII: Arizona vs Pittsburgh
It is just the way Americans go over the top with a lot of things. Besides, who else (not in the NFL) could beat the mighty Steelers anyway?
Re: (08/09) Superbowl XLIII: Arizona vs Pittsburgh
Haha, I think I definitely need more, but the bloody postage from the States is a killer. I got mine when I was over there last, much less ridiculously priced without postage.
Was he tanked?
