Background:
Background: 
Super Bowl XLIII is a game that should please everyone. The Cardinals are the ultimate underdog; they were the first #4 seed to host an NFC Championship Game. The Steelers are a proud franchise trying to win their 6th Super Bowl. The most interesting subplot is the coaching situation. Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and assistant head coach Russ Grimm were bypassed for the Steelers' job after Bill Cowher departed in 2006. The job went to Mike Tomlin, who took last year's team to the playoffs and is now in the Super Bowl. Whisenhunt and Grimm struck gold in Arizona, producing Bidwill's 1st trip to the Super Bowl. Publicly, Whisenhunt and Grimm will say only good things about their former employer, but privately they want to prove Pittsburgh's ownership wrong, and the best way they can do that is by beating the Steelers. Steelers-Cards has plenty of intrigue

Olympic Champ Praises Doritos Ad
February 2, 2009
Olympic champion Michael Phelps weighed in today on last night's Super Bowl, congratulating the Arizona Cardinals on their "awesome victory."
"The Cardinals really tore it up last night," said Mr. Phelps, who said he saw almost the entire game until he got "a wicked attack of the munchies" late in the fourth quarter.
"Maybe it was the Doritos commercial, I don't know, but suddenly I got unbelievably hungry," said Mr. Phelps, giggling uncontrollably. "I was like, man, I have got to get me some Doritos, stat!"
Mr. Phelps said that once he got to his kitchen, he became distracted when he noticed that his hand appeared to be growing.
"I must have been staring at my hand for an hour," he said. "It was kind of fascinating."
The Olympian said that by the time he returned from the kitchen, the game was already over, "so I didn't get to see the awesome moment when the Cardinals actually won, but I'm sure that was bodacious."
Mr. Phelps said he celebrated the Cardinals' victory by eating four bags of Doritos and swimming a victory lap on his living room rug.
