How I Almost Won the Superbowl for the Cardinals

Remember when the Cardinals got a first down on the 26-yard line with 5 minutes left and then penalized themselves out of field goal range? And then James Harrison beat the shit out of someone for no reason after the punt but luckily the Steelers had already recovered the punt by the time the refs made the call? Well, the Steelers were back on their one and I was praying for a safety or at least a stop, and then on 3rd down, when a sack seemed imminent, Ben Roethlesberger, who will one day be recruited to Wrestlemania, somehow found an open player for a first down. It just seemed hopeless so I started shouting, "throw a flag! throw a flag!" And suddenly the yellow flag icon appeared on the screen: holding on the defense, automatic safety. It's just too bad the entire Pittsburg secondary couldn't catch Larry Fitzgerald... Watching Ben Roethlesberger storm down the field was like watching the giant armored trolls bludgeon the innocent women and children of Minas Tirith with their 10 ft long beast clubs in LOTR: Return of the King.
