Conclusion

So, the Super Bowl is over and the Pittsburgh Steelers are the NFL's new champs. This makes them the first and only team ever to win six Super Bowls. It wasn't the outcome I wanted, but it turned out to be a good game. It went right down to the wire. The Cardinals looked like they were in over their heads at the beginning of the game, but they came back and fought, even taking the lead in the fourth quarter; thanks to some amazing plays by Larry Fitzgerald. However, the Steelers' Santonio Holmes matched Fitzgerald's acrobatics and athleticism with his own incredible touchdown catch that turned out to be the game winner (see photos below).

So now the game is over, which also ends the football season. I hate not having football, but I think it's also a good thing. It gives me a chance to rest my nerves.

After taking a Super Bowl break from studying and cleaning, it's back to the grind. However, I am a strong proponent of the Super Bowl Monday movement proclaiming that Super Bowl Sunday should be a national holiday and the following Monday should be a day of observation; which, of course, would mean a day off. The city of Pittsburgh is getting into the holiday spirit by delaying public school openings by 2 hours tomorrow.

I hope you had a great Super Sunday and a joyous Super Monday!
