  Coupla other thoughts

  Enough folks have commented that James Harrison's 100-yard interception return is now the greatest Super Bowl play ever that a retort seems necessary. No, Tyree still holds that title, as exciting and unlikely as Harrison's return was. In the Tyree play, everyone did everything they could, made no mistakes, and the crazy thing happened. Even Rodney Harrison, who covered Tyree on the play, admitted as much in the pre-game.

  James Harrison's interception depended on Warner making a boneheaded throw. After that, hell, yes, he not only caught the ball but beat tackles for a hundred yards, but if Warner doesn't make a mistake, the play never happens.

  Tyree wins not just on spectacle on the fact that it was just a damned amazing football play in which everyone involved played balls out and made no mistakes.

  As for Warner in the HOF, I mean, seriously? I know there was talk of that in the build up to this Super Bowl, but wasn't it all just feel-good claptrap? The guy has had a few amazing seasons and has a striking story, but he's mixed it up with some real dogs. Even if the Cards had won, he hasn't had a HOF career. Too much chaff with the wheat, as his type would say.
