Steelers win the Super Bowl
It helped Swann to have his 4 catches (and particularly the one insane catch he made over Mark Washington, tipping the ball to himself in what may be the greatest catch ever, in any game) in the Steeler victory over Dallas in Super Bowl X replayed as the top moment in Super Bowl history -- over and over again on ESPN this weekend. And then introduced as a Super Bowl MVP to a standing ovation prior to the game to a ginormous TV audience, with probably 100% share in Pennsylvania.
I think the Democrats may have a problem in Pennsylvania.
PS - I didn't actually have a rooting interest in the game. I did think the Seahawks shot the pooch -- but the refs sure did seem to be Steeler fans at key red zone moments in the contest...like in the end zone and at the 1 yard line (twice).
UPDATE (from TigerHawk): You're right about Swann, I think. And I'm not the only one who agrees.

Clearly that ref never worked a Michael Irvin game...

If you believe in karma, symmetry and/or poetic justice, here's something to keep in mind:
The last time the Steelers won the Super Bowl was in January 1980 - at the height of the Iranian hostage crisis.

Could be because the Almighty is a Steelers fan...

I didn't have too much problem with the pass interference call - what I thought was stupid beyond all reason was the call against Hasselbeck for low blocking when it looked like a perfectly good tackle to me.
But then, I was rooting for the Steelers too so I managed to get over my outrage :)

Since ESPN kept on showing Swann's 4 Super Bowl catches, they'll have to give equal time to Rendell. Perhaps they can run Rendell's 4 greatest political speeches. That's if they can find that many memorable Rendell speeches.
