Guess which rookie QB took his team to the Superbowl:

A) Dan Marino

B) Fran Tarkenton

C) Terry Bradshaw

D) John Elway

E) Joe Namath

F) Joe Montana


The answer....




NONE! Of course not! And Ben Roethlisberger is not one of those studs.

The Steel Curtain can only make up for so many interceptions and bad decisions. Yeah, the Bus fumbled. Yeah, the safety bit on the wrong receiver. Yeah, Boston came back from a 3-0 defecit to win a 7 game series for the first time in baseball history...but some things cannot be overcome on the biggest stages in sports - like having a rookie QB.

I think the game was over when that catch-fumble-turnover-personal foul becme an incompletion-personal foul. The next play the Pats scored six. That's when my TV went off.

At least Philly made me 50% right. Too many doubt McNabb. Now we'll see if defense still wins championships.



Incidentally, if you've ever played EA's NCAA Football and you use Notre Dame, have you noticed that they come down the steps and hit the "Play Like A Champion Today" sign, just like in real life? How cool is that!
