Larry Fitzgerald is my hero

Wow, what a game last night. That was the most exciting football game I've seen in awhile. Too bad the Cardinals lost because it sure seemed like they had it when my man Larry Fitz went streaking down the field for the go ahead score with a little under 3 minutes remaining in the game.

This play won Big Q's 300+ yard prop bet.

You gotta hand it to the Steelers though. They made the plays when it mattered most. Even though I'm not very fond of Pittsburgh, I'd like to list some of the things I do like about the Steelers team:

• Coach Mike Tomlin - This guy just gets it. He knows how to get the most out of his players and he's just a really smart coach. Hey college football! Black coaches are pretty good too!!! Plus, he looks exactly like the actor Omar Epps.
• Troy Polamalu - One of the best safeties in the league. Hard hitting, smart, and humble about it.
• Santonio Holmes - From selling drugs as a kid, to catching the game winning touchdown in the Super Bowl, to doing a fantastic impression of Lebron for his touchdown celebration (which should've been a 15 yard penalty since the rule states that you cannot use the ball as a prop). This guy is going to pull a Plaxico Burress in the off-season. You heard it here first.
  
• Terrible Towels - This is a joke. I would love to wipe my ass with one of those things. Any city whose fans waive towels or handkerchiefs is not a legitimate sports town in my opinion. Six Super Bowl Rings, One gay fan base.
  

Congratulations Omar Epps on your first Super Bowl victory!

So it looks like Big Q lost 4 out of 5 of his prop bets within the first 10 minutes of the broadcast. This isn't simply just "bad luck". Big Q clearly has the power to alter the outcome of anything in the world by simply betting on it. For the coin flip, he bet tails, it came up heads. He bet Arizona would receive the opening kickoff, then Pittsburgh received the opening kickoff. He bet on Arizona to be the first team to cross midfield, then 2 plays into the game Pittsburgh crossed midfield. He bet on shortest rushing TD +1.5 yards and then GARY RUSSELL scored a 1 yard TD one minute into the second quarter. He had Kurt Warner throwing for 300 yards as his last bet and it wasn't looking so hot going into the 4th quarter. And then finally, when almost all was lost, the IMMORTAL LARRY FITZGERALD saved Big Q from a Super Bowl donut hole by scoring on a 64 yard TD to vault Kurt Warner over 300 yards.

Lock of the day: Larry Fitzgerald is awesome.

Okay, so now that football season is officially over, it's time to start transitioning our brains to get ready for the marathon of all marathons: baseball season! It's going to be an interesting season since a lot of players switched teams and the Yankees purchased the entire universe. I can't wait for CC Sabathia to turn into Bartolo Colon and AJ Burnett to turn into Carl Pavano. 12 days until pitchers and catchers report. CC, get on that treadmill!

Hey Big Q, you better not bet on us this season. We'd like to win. Thanks.
