Monday Morning Quarterback

A few thoughts on yesterday's big game:

* My vote for biggest play: Pittsburgh's James Harrison interception and 100-yard runback for a touchdown. It reminded us anything's possible in football and gave us hope the Cardinals could pull off a miracle in the final seconds. So what if they didn't? Next season is only six months away.

* NBC's cameras were in the right place on two reversed calls, both challenged by Arizona. Instant Replay saves the day.

* Can we go ahead and book Bruce Springsteen for next year's halftime show? And let's extend halftime by 10 minutes.

* Jennifer Hudson's performance of the National Anthem -- albeit lip-synched -- was the best since Whitney Houston's in 1991. Versions will be hitting iPod's very soon, legal or illegal.

* Favorite commercials: Budweiser's Clydesdale ads. Least favorite: GoDaddy.com's. Enough hormones, already.

* Biggest Celebration Moment (for Cardinals fans): Larry Fitzgerald's splitting the Steeler defense for a 64-yard TD run. "And he... could... go... all... the WAAAAAAAYYYYY!"

* Biggest embarrassment: If you watched the game in the Tucson area, and you had Comcast cable, you saw 30 seconds of porn hacked into the telecast. I was watching at a Super Bowl party at my church, and fortunately, somebody switched away within seconds before the nasty stuff hit the big screens for all the kids to see. Nobody knows who's behind this hack or how it happened... yet.
