What a Game … Be Proud Kurt

SuperBowl 2009 is now history and what a great game. As neutral observer (I am a Rams fan), I was enthralled and enjoyed one of the greatest SuperBowl games I have ever seen.

I am also pleased for Kurt Warner … many years after the Rams wrongly dumped him, he had fought his way back and guided an unfancied Arizona team all the way to the SuperBowl and then but for a couple of very cruel twists of fate almost took them to the winning podium in a performance that belied his 37 years.

Even though he came up short, this was a real MVP performance and should hopefully secure his entry to the Hall of Fame. He now has the 3 top passing games in SuperBowl history. I am not sure if he should come back next season or not … but he will no doubt make his own mind up.
