"Paper or plastic?" By Guillaume "Frenchie


 Fuqua"MacFarlane


I started the week having to read the heart-


wrenching biography of bag boy and future


 "Hall of Famer" Kurt Warner’s accent in the


 NFL while leading the Arizona Cardinals to


the promised land. I ended the week feeling


like I’d been speeding on Hurricane Mt. Road


 on an out of control snowmobile. Super Bowl


 XLIII had more momentum shifts than a


 roller coaster in Old Orchard. From Warner’s


 drive in the late second quarter to James


 Harrison’s 100 yard interception return in


the final seconds of the half. From the


immaculate penalty call of "Roughing the


Steeler" to Big Ben’s "Hail Santonio" pass


 with the ballet catch on two toes, Ben sought


 redemption from his lack luster performance


 in Super Bowl XL. 


It was certainly a day to remember for the


 black and gold, helping to insure


 Roethlisberger’s legacy. In conclusion, I


 spent the weekend trying not to be an


 obnoxious Steeler fan. In this I think I failed.


 But putting that aside, "A toast to the


 Pittsburgh Steelers....while you’re at it, make


 it a six-pack. Paper or plastic?"


 


If the Pro Bowl is played and no one watches


 it, did it really happen?
