I know that most NFL bloggers are now focusing their attention on the NFL Combine, and the upcoming draft. I’ll start talking about those things soon enough, but right now, I still want to hold onto the joy of the Steelers’ spectacular 2008 season.
Over the next several days, I will be presenting one final look at the season that was. From the highs to the lows, and everything in between. From the 2008 NFL draft, to training camp, the regular season, the playoffs, and the Super Bowl, we’ll revisit all of it.
Steelers Today presents the 2008 season in pictures.

I consider myself a writer, so I try to offer primarily original material on this blog. I seldom do links to other peoples work. However, this is the Super Bowl, and I thought it would be interesting to see what others had to say about it. So here is some of the best Super Bowl stuff I was able to find.
First stop; the Cleveland Plain Dealer. As might be expected, Clevelands primary newspaper chose to make the Steelers’ Super Bowl victory an Ohio story. They offered up these two Ohio-centric articles.
How do Steelers spell their latest championship? O-H-I-O
Holmes the Super Bowl’s greatest Buckeye
Next stop, ESPN. Gene Wojciechowski thinks that the Steelers are actually America’s Team (Duh! Like we didn’t know that).
Of course Dallas Cowboys fans dispute the point and hate the Steelers as much as ever.
Don Banks of Sports Illustrated thinks this was the best Super Bowl Ever.
Fellow Steelers blogger 5 Golden Rings shared these post game thoughts. I thought the comment about Obama was absolutely hilarious.
Fans on Cleveland Browns fan forums weren’t taking the Steelers’ 6th championship very well. One fan on DawgBones.com wrote:
“We have to kill God. It is obvious that he hates Browns fans and that our franchise will not move forward until he is gone”
Another wrote:
“How long will Cleveland fans have to watch the Steelers win?!!!”
Cincinnati fans on Bengals.com didn’t seem much happier. Check out this thread titled “Pittsburgh wins….again“.
The People at Davison came up with this Super Bowl six pack video:

And finally, let’s take one final look at the closing moments of that amazing 4th quarter.

As is always the case after the Super Bowl, the winners are going to Disney World.

The Pittsburgh Steelers became the first team in NFL history to win 6 Super Bowls when they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIII.
Frankly, I’m too tired from celebrating the win to write an article about it tonight. The game was such a thriller that I am emotionally drained. Particularly when Larry Fitzgerald scored a touchdown with less than 3 minutes left in the game. Prior to that play, I thought the Steelers had the game locked up. I went from an incredible high to an incredible low. Then when Santonio Holmes caught the final touchdown, I was back on the top of the mountain. What an emotional roller coaster!
I’ll write my normal post-game analysis of this game tomorrow. Right now, I just don’t have the energy.
But I do want to take a moment to recognize one player in particular. Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes came through big on the biggest stage, and earned the MVP award for Super Bowl XLIII. Way to go, Santonio!
Sure, Holmes will probably get a new car for from the Super Bowl sponsors to congratulate him for his efforts. But the Pennsylvania State Police have a little gift of their own. They think he’ll enjoy it far more than the new car.
They apologize for the little incident they had with Holmes last year, and hope this will make things right.
They do ask that he not mention their little gift. Afterall, this stuff was supposed to remain in the evidence room. Enjoy!
