I Am Proven Resounding Wrong

Two weeks ago, I made a comment that I didn't suspect anyone would watch the Super Bowl, as who would want to watch the Steelers and Cardinals play?

Turns out, everyone would.

Super Bowl 43 became the third-most watched TV program ever, falling only behind the series finale of M*A*S*H and last year's Super Bowl. I tried not to contribute to the viewership at all, but happened to catch the last 10 minutes, which, apparently, was all you needed to see.

I will say that it was impressive to see Ben Roethlisberger, who now has more Super Bowl wins than complete seasons played, go Joe Montana on the Cardinals in the last minute and a half and ruin the beatification of Kurt Warner, who now has as many Super Bowl losses as MVPs. But, even though it did eventually turn out to be a competitive nail-biter, it was still a game between the Steelers and Cardinals.

Just goes to show you that people will watch anything that's called "Super Bowl."
