Comebacks

(Update: In the end it was Pittsburgh that wrote the storybook ending. What a great game.)

The story of America is really about the underdog. I have no idea what the outcome of tonight's Super Bowl will ultimately be, but there is no doubt what the perfect ending would be.

Arizona's amazing combination of passer Kurt Warner and receiver Larry Fitzgerald has just made the game a real contest. They were behind 20-7 until a recent TD drive. Now, there is a third of a quarter left and Arizona is only 6 points behind. If their defense can stop Pittsburgh, there is a chance that once again, a Cinderella ending may occur.

If this happens, the American idea will once again be confirmed through the channel of sports.

My bias is clear. Go Arizona!
