Like most Americans, my hometown team is out of the running to be Superbowl champions this year. Superbowl ads will probably suck this year with a faltering economy in which many advertising budgets have been slashed. Where does that leave us?
At first I thought of running ten games through Madden to see which team would be victorious. However, there is an even better economic indicator awesomeness indicator: cheerleaders. Unfortunately, the Steelers don’t have a squad so I had to drudge through the internet (expect an upcoming post on the gold that Google images brought up).
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s begin with the coin toss.
| Team | Valuation | Results |
| Steelers | $1 Billion | Win the coin toss and receive |
| Cardinals | $914 million | Lose the coin toss but are worth a lot more now! |

Steelers score early in the first quarter.
Cardinals eventually answer back with a 40 yard TD in the second quarter.
As time runs out in the first half, the Steelers' Jeff Reed hits a 44 yard field goal that bounces off the post
Halftime show?!?!
Steelers grind their way to the red zone. They get inside the endzone with a running play on the first down, drunk with success.
Superbowl Ads don't suck on here. BUY Plasma TVs!
Cardinals tighten their gear up and squeek out a TD at the beginning of the fourth quarter with a slippery 8 minute drive.
Steelers fumble twice in the fourth quarter. Cardinals capitalize both times with two TDs to win the Superbowl 28-17.
Superbowl Winners
Some pictures were blurred to protect you and me both.
Wow. Today continues to get stranger.
This 11 year old bullfighter named Michelito Lagravere has killed 6 bulls in Mexico. Many groups tried to stop this fight but apparently failed.
Michelito’s father is a former bullfighter named Michel Lagravere. The father claims he’s been fighting since 6.
Lance Armstrong Finished 29th
Wow, today’s news just continues to be interesting.
In his comeback race, Lance Armstrong finished 29th after a 3 year retirement. Lance Armstrong was 49 seconds back from the winner which is actually very impressive. I’m sure he continued cycling even after retirement. At that level, you have to just love cycling for the fun of it.
If I were a professional cyclist, I’d be scared right now. Lance Armstrong is a force to be reckoned with.
Thirteen years ago, Nina Topp led her North Dakota high school girls’ basketball team to their first Class B state championship. Not a day later, Nina Topp was awarded the North Dakota’s Miss Basketball award with two other top players.
Nina was then offered a full scholarship to a NCAA Division I school to play basketball.
Nina knew something was wrong when she wasn’t happy with her amazing sports success so she went on anti-depressants. After many years, Nina was diagnosed with gender identity disorder and underwent a gender transition.
Nina officially changed her name to Lucian Jude as part of her journey.
Jude played basketball at the Division I level for almost two years before injuring his back. After that injury, Jude’s sports career was over but an amazing personal journey was just beginning.

UPDATE: Wanted to just add the happy ending: Luke is happy now.
A show promoter was killed Saturday at one of his own shows in Wisconsin when a monster truck had a horrible accident. The promoter, George Eisenhart Jr., was only 41 years old and was fatally injured when he walked across the floor and was hit by a monster truck.
I’m not including any photos of hte monster truck accident because it is preety horrible. This comes less than a week after another person was injured in a second Monster Truck Accident.
Extreme sports are entertaining but it is important to remember that there is very real danger and people’s real lives are affected when accidents such as these happen.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of this man.
The coach responsible for the 100-0 basketball victory I just wrote about was fired yesterday. On Sunday, he sent a message to a local newspaper saying he won’t apologize “for a wide-margin victory when my girls played with honor and integrity.”
The headmaster of the school decided the victory was an embarassment and has attempted to forfeit the win because of the overwhelming margin.
I think we should give coach a basketball medal for sportsmanship.
In all seriousness however, I’ve seen arguments in both directions. I think they should have put some players who don’t get any gametime out there so they could practice. But, I’ve also seen comments that “going easy” on them would be more embarassing and demoralizing.
What do you think?
Dramatic Reenactment
The Covenant School crushed another basketball team 100 to 0. The women’s basketball team beat down on Dallas Academy’s team. Dallas Academy has 8 girls on their team out of 20 girls in the school.
Also, Dallas Academy is a school for children with learning difficulties so this isn’t a particularly cheerful victory.
In fact, The Covenant School is trying to forfeit the game as an apology for this lopsided victory.
They didn’t even let them make 2 points. 100-0 Victory
The team I was rooting for, the Baltimore Ravens lost yesterday in an agonizing defeat. Joe Flacco completed 13 out of 30 passes for only 141 yards. Joe Flacco didn’t have any touchdowns and the Steelers managed to hold on even after the Ravens came back 16-14 in the fourth quarter. After an interception and a fumble, the game was over.
I still love the Ravens though. Better watch out next year.
The Ravens might not get a trophy this year but you can get a football trophy online today.
