So, the Super Bowl happens in just a couple of days. Have you ever needed to explain to a child (or clueless non-football fan) what football is, and why the Super Bowl is so important? Our friend Ze gives it a shot…check out the video above. You may want to use this as your template for explaining the issue in the future - if you can be sure not to blink like he does.

Tuesday Morning Quaterback: Super Bowl XL Edition

Posted by Jeff Chan Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, Editorial, NFL

Super Bowl XL logo
In order to get a better perspective on the sports-world, I have dedicated the last couple of days in being slothful and training my body to become a pompous, second-guessing fat man.  In the tradition of fat men media honcho’s who criticizes too harshly, I try to emulate the likes of Mike Golic, Mike Francesa, John Kruk, and Peter King.  Here are my “random thoughts”:

  1. The Super Bowl commercials were terribly boring. 
  2. The officiating was terrible.  The live-blog did not discuss the horrible holding call on Seattle while driving in the Pittsburgh red zone, and the ensuing personal foul on Hasselbeck’s low tackle after the INT.
  3. I’m really happy for coach Bill Cowher.
  4. The game was an overall huge disappointment, entertainment factor wise. 
  5. Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash says the Seattle Seahawks were cheated on the Mike and Mike in the Morning news flashes.
  6. Has anyone seen Shaun Alexander?  I thought he was the MVP.

Let us know what you think.


Super Bowl XL MVP: Hines Ward

Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Athletes, Championship, Super Bowl, Kudos, NFL

Hines WardHines Ward was voted the Super Bowl MVP today.  Ward caught 5 receptions for 123 yards and 1 TD.  The most spectacular of these plays had to be the 43 yard touchdown pass thrown by Randall El.  Mr. Ward, from all of us at EndScore, congratulations on your trophies.


Super Bowl XL: Seahawks 10, Steelers 21

Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL, Scoreboard

DescriptionPittsburgh’s running game turned out to be too much for Seattle in the final minutes of the 4th quarter.  Bettis and company burned the clock and the Seahawks’ timeouts in their final drive.  Seattle made a desperate attempt to tie in the end, but it was futile. There may have been some questionable calls, but no matter how many times you argue them, the Steelers are the Super Bowl Champions of 2006.


Super Bowl XL: 4th Quarter - Randall El Throws TD after an INT

Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL, Scoreboard

Hassleback’s INT turned into a Pittsburgh touchdown after WR Randall El threw on a gadget play.  The ball sailed for a 43 yard pass to Hines Ward.  Hassleback fumbled on the ensuing possession only to have the call overturned on a challenge.  The overturned play turned out to be a bust anyhow with Seattle having to punt after a Pittsburgh sack.

Current Score: Seattle 10, Steelers 21.


Super Bowl XL: 3rd Quarter Henderson INT Leads to Seattle Touchdown

Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL, Scoreboard

CB Kelly Henderson came up big in the endzone for Seattle by intercepting a pass that would’ve likely been a Pittsburg touchdown for WR Cedrick Wilson.  Instead, Henderson takes the INT for 76 yards before getting tackled - a Super Bowl record.  On the ensuing set of plays - 3rd and 6 - Matt Hasselbeck hit up Jerramy Stevens for a 16 yard touchdown reception.

Current Score: Seattle 10, Steelers 14.


Super Bowl XL: 3rd Quarter Steelers Extend Lead, Seahawks Miss Another

Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL, Scoreboard

Willie Parker took it to the house with a Super Bowl record setting 75 yard run.  The Seahawks put up a healthy drive and attempted another FG - this time for 50 yards.  Josh Brown missed another key scoring opportunity for the Seahawks.

Current Score: Seattle 3, Steelers 14.


Super Bowl XL: Halftime Show - The Rolling Stones

Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL

Playing it conservative, ABC and Disney have decided to bring on old school/new school rockers - The Rolling Stones.  I’ve got to say I was pleasantly entertained with the mini concert.  A great stage was setup in the form of the Stones’ signature hanging tongue logo.  Singing their classics - including one they sung at Super Bowl I, “I can’t get no satisfaction.”


Super Bowl XL: Halftime Seahawks 3, Steelers 7

Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL, Scoreboard

On 3rd down, Big Ben connected with Hines Ward for a big 37 yard reception that set up a 1 yard touchdown run by Ben Roethlisberger.  The play was challenged by Seattle, but was it was too close to overturn the call.  That took us under the 2 minute warning.  Seattle’s 2 minute offense came into effect and ended with what I consider to be a conservative FG attempt.  Pittsburg accidentally called a timeout with a confused defense on the field; Seattle failed to capitalize with 7 seconds on the clock.  I thought there might have been time to attempt one shot down the field or at least relieve some pressure off the kicker by taking it in another 10-15 yards, then call a their last timeout.  However, they opted to attempt a 54 yard FG that went wide.  Bring on Mick Jagger.
