Don't Count Out Kurt; Open Thread

Says here that the Cards, behind a big time performance by Super Bowl XLIII MVP Kurt Warner are going to take this game tonight.

Kurt Warner: 31-38 313 yds 3 TD

Larry Fitz: 9 receptions 138 yds 2 TD

Q: 6 receptions 91 yds 1 TD, 1 rush 24 yds

Edge: 22 carries 87 hard-earned yards

Final Score: Cards 31, Steelers 27

Darnell Dockett will be the biggest difference-maker for the Cards on defense. I predict that he will come up HUGE in the 4th quarter with the game still undecided.

As for some of my early-week prop bets...well, I am saved on the Phil Mickelson bet because he did not even make cut. Uncle Phil! Jeez...thank god the bet was dependent on him playing in the 4th round, so I get no action there. As for the Ovechkin goals vs Larry Fitzgerald TDs, The Big O has a hat trick through 2 periods already. The 3rd goal came on a shot between a defender's legs. Just amazing. But I don't see Fitz getting 3 TDs. Not to mention at this pace, Ovechkin will probably get another goal in this game, if not more.So I will be losing that one it would seem.

How can they not review that?

Why have the rule at all, if at the end of the Super Bowl when it matters most, you don’t employ it? The ball was coming forward, with possession being debatable. The touchdown by Harrison was simply game-breaking. I had visions of the Titans and Rams scoring crazy long touchdowns as time expired in the first half against the Skins. Gut-wrenching. The game-winning touchdown was perfect. But I have to ask: At what point do you not give a team 3 personal fouls and 30+ yards of penalties on at least one call that could have been a no-call. The refs really inserted themselves into the outcome of this game in a way that makes you at least uncomfortable.
