I'm a little tardy in posting this but congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers on their come from behind win over the Arizona Cardinals! I had cheered for the Big Red as I posted on Sunday, and was disappointed the Cardinal defense gave up the final touchdown without much time to play. But, the Steelers made the plays they needed and deserved to win.
The intercepted pass by James Harrison near at the end of the first half was obviously the key to the ballgame. Again, the Steelers made a big play that influenced the outcome of the game.
In my book this is one of the best Super Bowls ever. And, I have seen every one of them starting with the Packers and Chiefs in 1967. (I was in eighth grade). In my book the 2000 Super Bowl (XXXIV) won by the Rams over the Titans is the best ever. That was the game that ended with Michael Jones making "The Tackle" on the Rams one yard line to preserve the victory.

Let the Healing Begin
The St. Louis Rams who are in the midst of yet another dismal season have accepted the resignation of the head of Football Operations Jay Zygmunt. The media release called it a mutual "agreement". Zygmunt has presided over two of the worst seasons of Rams football in the teams fabled history. In addition, Rams President John Shaw is expected to have a diminished role in the teams future. These actions are apparently being orchestrated by new owner Chip Rosenbloom. Rosenbloom succeeded his step mother the late Georgia Frontiere.
So, what does this mean to Rams fans? Well, for starters Billy Devaney will take over the operations of the team. The book is out on Devaney, but the dismissal of Zygmunt is seen as a move in the right direction by many long time St. Louis season ticket holders. Zygmunt had been involved in the deal that brought Marshall Faulk to St. Louis late in the 90s. Faulk and the Rams went on to win the 2000 Super Bowl against Tennessee. But, in recent years Zygmunt feuded with former head coach Mike Martz and draft director Charley Armey. So, from a fans point of view, it is perceived at this point as a good move by the ownership.
