Quick Super Bowl Thoughts

Your going to be reading about the Superbowl everywhere for the next week, so I just have a couple of quick thoughts.
-This topic was discussed heartily with those who watched the Super Bowl with me: Starting with Titans-Rams, we have lived in the greatest decade of Super Bowls ever. I still might go with Giants-Bills as the best ever, but the rest of the top five are all populated by Super Bowls in this decade for me.
-Four hundred plus yards of offense against statistically one of the best defenses in NFL history? Cards, its official: you guys aren't a fluke.
-Troy Polamalu didn't look fully healed to me last night. He didn't have the same burst, and he missed alot of plays he'd normally make.
-Santonio Holmes, meet John Taylor and David Tyree.
-Big Ben, meet Tom Brady and Joe Montana.
-Darnell Dockett played with a chip on his shoulder last night. He was unblockable for most of the game.
-Ditto for Lamar Woodley. Answer me truthfully: Has there ever been a better 3-4 outdside linebacking duo than James Harrison and Lamar Woodley? Really think about it, and leave your answer in the comments section. 
-Any inkling that Dan Rooney's been through this before? Right next to the Packers, the Steelers still have the best ownership in sports.
-Finally somebody rips off the NHL. I know they've been doing this for a couple of years now, but don't you think Joe Namath bringing out the Lombardi Trophy was reminiscent of another championship trophy ceremony? Perhaps next, all fifty three players could get one day to do whatever they want with the Lombardi Trophy.
-What will Ken Whisenhunt be preaching to his team once Mini Camp starts? Let's make it easier on ourselves to get back to this point next year and try to get a bye instead of having to win three playoff games.
-Two Super Bowls in four years? Are the Steelers the team of the second half of the 2000's?
-Enjoy this one, Pittsburgh.
