THOUGHTS AFTER THE SUPERBOWL

***STEELERS WIN***
Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Holding the record for the most Superbowl wins (6) has to be some solace to Pittsburgh sports fans.

Loved the 100-yard interception return. Larry Fiztgerald is amazing. He reminds me a lot of Lynn Swan. He catches the ball the way Homer Jones of the Giants used to, back in the '60's: Plucks it out of the air with his hands. Overall, Picasner thought it was a great game in spite of...

***THE GUIDING LIGHT, PART II***
I wonder how Boras feels having Albert Pujols announce to the world that Manny thinks "no one will sign him"? Manny, not even the Mystery Teams?
