Super Bowl XLIII
Sunday the Pittsburg Steelers take on the Arizona Cardinals in Tampa Bay for Super Bowl XLIII. The Steelers come in with a top ranked defense with stars all over the field. The offense is a different story. Reports are coming out that Ben Rothlisberger is still hurt from the shot he took against Baltimore. Some are speculating it could be torn rib cartilage or broken ribs. Hines Ward is also nursing a knee injury. This could spell trouble for Pittsburg if the Cardinals can shut down the running attack. Then Hit Big Ben and throw off his game. The Cardinals Defense has found themselves through the course of the season. Darnell Dockett, Karlos Dansby and Adrian Wilson will become household names on Sunday. I'd like to see Arizona throw in a couple of trick plays to keep the Steelers D on there toes. I also think establishing a run game is a must. They can't let Pittsburg defense get into a situation where they can blitz and get to Warner. Thats what they do best. Watch out for Steve Breaston in this game. He quietly had over 1,000 yards receiving this year but with Fitzgerald and Boldin getting all the attention most people did not hear about the nice year he had for himself. Boldin has been fully participating in the practices so his hamstring injury looks like it is recovered. Although hamstring injuries are tricky and could strike again in the big game. Larry Fitzgerald has been amazing in the post season. In my opinion he is the leagues best wide receiver. I like the Cardinals 20-17 in this one. Call me crazy but I think Warner will lead them to victory. He's done it before with the Rams and I think he can do it again.

I read that The Steeler's nickel back, McFadden, is a free agent. He really showed that he could cover well, and deliver the big hit when needed, this year.
How do you think he would fit in with The Pats?
I think Bryant Mcfadden is a decent player. I don't think he is the shutdown corner they need. He also has been hurt quite a bit in his career. He only has one 16 game season out of four. They need to do something. I think Terrence Whetley could be a great nickle back. I know that Nnamdi Asomugha wants out of Oakland. But they may place the franchise tag on him so he doesn't walk. I'd give up a first round pick for him in a heart beat. They will want two first rounders i bet. As for the guy rubbing my prediction in my face...You must be a really big fan...You can't even spell "STEELERS" right.
