Do you think the right team won the Superbowl... and what was up with that touch down that Rosthielburger got?

You mean ROETHLISBERGER.\n\nWell the called it a touchdown and when they reviewed it there was not a good camera angle to tell wether any part of the ball crossed the goalline so they could not overturn it. It was the refrees fault who called it a touchdown in the first place.

No, I didn't down the Steelers. I am favoring them to win the Super Bowl since last weekend even know I am not really a Steelers' fan.  I root for them becuase I like Jerome Bettis.\n\nI like to see him end his career with the Super Bowl's ring. Anybody work as hard as him deserved to have one.

Not even Jerome Bettis's fumble cause hes basically an old dieing man (in the football world) can save this lackluster performance.  With Manning not getting it done, \n\nI think the dungy death of his son dominates this loss for sure.\n\nI'm not a fan of that team so I don't know, but if it was my team I would sorta understand and expect the team to overcome.\n\nYou see like Brett Farves mom dies and the day after he throws for like, 300 or 400 yards, and yeah its different cause shes the generation before, but still,\n\nchampions win.\n\nI think this is not at all the end of the manning era.

I am glad the Steelers won - they have great talent and overcame alot of obstacles to even get to the superbowl. But.. I surely respect the talent and potential of the Seahawks - they will be back in the future. Also I won $60 in a pool at work.

Apparently, you all don't know good football.  Everyone has an off day.  Didn't Pittsburgh get stomped by us at home during Monday night game in regular season?  Hmmmm, wasn't the score 27-6 and Pittsburgh didn't even score untill 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter?  Yea, you all got skill...good at running your mouth, not a football.  They are the only team who got where they are BY LUCK!  And Denver is going to show them what it's like to win championships.  As for Indy, big deal.  We will hold our heads high and see you in the playoff's again next year!\n\nGO COLTS!!!!!

It was a great game. I'm a long time Steelers fan and I darn near suffered a heart attack at the end. Great game, but I don't understand why we stoped blitzing in the middle of the game. You can let Peyton Manning off the mat. \n\nGo Steelers!

Looks like the Super Bowl Champs...\n\nSunday, February 26, 2006\n\nBy Teresa F. Lindeman\n\nDriven by the win in S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l X.L, Pittsburgh Steelers merchandise is selling at a record pace. \n\nA sporting goods research firm calculated sales of Steelers merchandise so far this year have reached $154 million, more than five times the size of the $30 million total for the same period last year. The team alone has accounted for more than 40 percent of total NFL merchandise sales this year, according to SportsScanInfo, a sporting goods research firm in West Palm Beach, Fla. \n\n"The Steelers [win] is probably going to be the number one S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l championship event in NFL history," said Ralph Galera, director of custom product finishing for Florida-based clothing maker VF Corp., which rushed licensed locker room T-shirts and sweatshirts to stores within hours of the game. \n\nNFLShop.com reports that 84,706 Steelers S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l X.L championship items had been sold through last Monday. \n\nSome of that merchandise will be on display this week when vendors licensed to sell everything from Patriots mugs and Bengals toys to Raiders comforters and Terrible Towels turn part of the club level of Heinz Field into a collection of booths displaying all the football-stamped items -- excluding apparel -- that a merchant with an NFL license can dream up. \n\nBeginning Monday, representatives from the league's 32 teams will come to look over the offerings for the next season, as well as to observe the Steelers' own efforts to sell more stuff. \n\nThe NFL chose Pittsburgh as the site for its fourth-annual gathering last summer. \n\n"Not all of our clubs have made as large a commitment to the merchandising as the Packers and Steelers," said Leo Kane, the NFL's senior director of licensing and consumer products. Both teams consistently are among the league's leaders in sales of licensed goods and operate their own stores packed with goods. \n\nMr. Kane singled out the Green Bay Packers because they were hosts to the very first of these NFL trade shows back in 2003. Before then, the licensed goods offerings showed up as part of other trade shows. \n\nThe league decided to do its own show so it could time the event between seasons and so that strong merchandising teams could share their best practices. It's kind of like Ben Roethlisberger getting tips from Dan Marino, concentrating on the techniques and hoping for a little of the magic. \n\nThat first summit focused on the teams and the vendors but retailers have gained importance in the subsequent years. Invitations were sent to J.C. Penney, Dick's Sporting Goods, the Finish Line, Eastbay, Hat World, Giant Eagle, Party City, HSN (Home Shopping Network) and TJMaxx, among others. The Steelers also asked some local retailers to come, including Honus Wagner and Steel City Hobbies. \n\nIf any team has the right formula for opening wallets just now, it is the Steelers. SportsScanInfo credited a 35 percent increase in NFL sales activity so far this year mainly to the "blitz" buying of Steelers fans. \n\nThe single biggest category increase has been in licensed NFL T-shirts, up more than 500 percent in dollar volume as consumers eager to wear their pride buy, buy, buy. Clothing maker VF Corp. does not release sales numbers but Mr. Galera said the company sold enough clothing items to attire all of the 1.3 million or people who live in Allegheny County -- and more. \n\nIt takes a bit longer to produce other types of S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l merchandise, such as mugs and footballs, so sales of those items could start picking up as the year continues. \n\n"Kudos to the fans," said Neil D. Schwartz, SpotsScanInto's director of marketing and business development and an industry observer who estimated the Steelers' 42 percent share of overall NFL merchandise sold so far may be twice the typical experience of S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l c

THIS was the contest I have been waiting over a decade to see!\n\nIt is skill, training, and determination that gave the win to Dallas on 12/11/2005.  \n\nYes, Dallas exploited the mistakes of the Chiefs... but that is part of the point.  Dallas made no such 'goofs' as the bumbling Chiefs did!\n\nIt is true that if it were not for the fumble (made by the Chiefs offense) and the lack of coverage downfield (made by the Chiefs defense) that KC would have won the day.\n\nBut the score is not set by fantasy, but by reality....  And the reality is that KC made fatal mistakes, and that Dallas was able to capitalize on them!

Yeah, why not.  I'm glad Cowher got a ring so all the idiots who thought he was a choker coach will shut the hell up.  Dolts who don't understand the game always seem to talk the most, and that was one of their favorite sayings.  These are the same dolts who think Peyton Manning is incapable of "winning the big one."  \n\nIt's a different set of idiots who think the Super Bowl was fixed.  These people are almost retarded.

First off Ill have to say this was one of the worst officiated Super Bowls Ive ever seen, but a conspiracy.....Uhh I dont know. Seattle didnt help themselves by letting Pittsburgh get a 3rd and long early in the game. They also kicked themselves in the butt by letting Willie Parker run vertially untouched into the end zone at the beginning of the secong half. So Seattle fans, you must also point the finger at your beloved Seahawks too. Plus Im sure the Steelers felt the refs redeemed themselves after the blew that call in Indianapolis.

To Shaun: that's not quite right - Germany got beat pretty bad by Italy just a couple of weeks before this game. So, many people in Germany weren't really counting on the German team to win - they were happy they did, though!\nThe US-soccer team is a pretty good team!\nP.S. I am from Germany!

HeeHee!!! I am a Browns fan stuck in a Steelers world. I live and work about an hour from Pittsburgh. I just hope they get their act together soon. I totally agree with you about people thinking the world revolves around Heinz Field. Ever notice though, that when the steelers are winning they are the greatest team ever, but when they aren't doing well, they want to burn down the stadium? Also, when the Steelers lose a game it's because of some goofy reason, like Big Ben's thumb hurts, or there were bad calls against them, or extra crowd noise pumped into the stadium (indianapolis game, supposedly). I can't get past the hurt thumb thing, because Brett Favre played like a whole season with a broken thumb. Anyway, I HATE THE STEELERS!!!

The question is "Which team won the Super bowl in 2003." Not "Who was the 2003 NFL Champion." The correct answer would  be Tampa Bay 48-21 over The Oakland Raiders to become the 2002 NFL Champions. The 2003 Patriots were crowned in 2004 as Champions for the 2003 season after beating Carolina 39-29.\nEagle fan here. Tried and true. I even have an Eagles mouse pad.

I totally agree.You could almost see Cower paying the refs.And it wasn't just the Super Bowl it was the whole playoffs,all the cheep shots and bad calls that went for The Pittspuke Squealers made the playoffs a joke.Ben Chokesonburger is a joke also.

Well, the Steelers have some pretty big guys on their team and I'm pretty sure they can eat a lot. I'm going with the Steelers to win the Supper Bowl! J/K, just playing off your mispelling. Seriously, I'm going with the Steelers.

Yes, it started a dynasty that otherwise wouldn't have happened.  The entire Patriots reign is a sham because of that fumble.  I give credit to Vinatieri for making that kick in the snow and the Pats were certainly a great team over several years, but they should have never won that game against the Raiders.  Its the worst call because of what was at stake (playoff game) and the ramifications (Super Bowls for the Pats).
