Gaaa!

The Age of Parity = Superbowl XL

How impressive is it that the MVP of the Superbowl was a Reciever who only caught 5 balls for 123 yards and one TD? (Okay, the answer is... not very.)

I guess when the winning Superbowl QB has as bad a day as Rothlisberger did, (9 0f 21 for 123 yards, no TDs and 2 ints) you have to look around for someone to give the award to.

Oh well. Hines Ward seems like a good guy.

I just miss the days when really dominant teams fought it out for the championship. This business of two mediocrities trying to outlast each other is getting old.

Seahawks lost! goddamit!

oh well, i'm over it! atleast they were NFC champions and they got to play the superbowl. there's always next year. but most of the players are up for grab. so they might not stay in seattle.

It's a whole new ballgame, Geez. ;)

I should've been spewing venom here.

Well, Ward's story is a bit more interesting than Jerome Bettis's.

Just playing in the Super Bowl was not enough for Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward.
The Korean-born Ward received the Super Bowlfs Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in the teamfs 21-10 victory against the Seattle Seahawks, Sunday.

Ward, who was born in Seoul to a Korean woman and an African-American GI 29 years ago, is now recorded as the first person of Korean heritage to take the highest honor in Americafs greatest sports gala.

Considered the NFL's best blocking wide receiver, Ward has shown great performances in his eight-year career.

Ward made his 574th career catch, surpassing Hall of Famer John Stallworth, who caught 537 passes in his career, as the Steelers' all-time leader.

Though he failed to do it in the 2005 regular season, Ward recorded four straight 1,000 yard receiving seasons from 2001 to 2004, a sought-after record for most NFL players.

When he was one, Wardfs family moved to the United States before his parents divorced.

A court took him from his mother, Kim Young-hee, declaring her unfit because of her poor English skills. But Ward ran away from his father and stepmother when he was seven years old, and has lived with Kim ever since.

Ward, who plans a first-ever visit to Korea, is expected to enjoy a herofs welcome in the ``motherlandff when he visits for two weeks in April with his mother.

Cool.

I had no idea. :thumbsup:

i guess no the next big nfl news'd be the draft.

....and if and when the Raiders get a new coach. Personally I couldn't care less.

Actually March is kind of big in the run up to the draft.

That's the free agent signing period.

As a 9er fan I'm interested because most of our starting linebackers are unrestricted free agents.

Derek Smith

Julian Peterson

Brandon Moore

And so is Fullback Fred Beasley.

Ken Dorsey and Brandon Lloyd are restricted free agents.

Who resigns? Who wanders off for greener pastures?

Who do we sign from other teams?

All of that has a huge impact on who we draft in April.

And for a team as thin on offensive talent as the Niners, the focus of the draft is gonna have a very big impact on how the team performs over the next couple of years.

When the Raiders won their first Super Bowl, the MVP of that game was Fred Biletnikoff who caught a whopping . . . 4 passes. When the Baltimore Colts beat the Cowboys in Super Bowl V, the game MVP was LB Chuck Howley, who played on the LOSING team (and no, he didn't have a particularly outstanding game either). Joe Namath won the MVP award when his Jets upset the Colts in that historical Super Bowl, but his passing stats for that game were pretty ordinary, and he led his offense to a grand total of . . . 16 points. Randy White and Harvey Martin shared co-MVP honors when the Cowboys beat the Broncos, largely on the fact that each recorded an impressive . . . 1 QB sack. You aren't always guaranteed impressive individual performances, but that's why football is the ultimate team game. Hines Ward had a decent performance, but personally, if I had a vote, I would have chosen guard Alan Faneca or nose tackle Casey Hampton.

Niners did Brandon Lloyd a favor trading him to a playoff team. I bet he's really happy.
