Dulling the pain

As the days go by, Arizona Cardinal's loss in the Super Bowl may be expected to diminish in intensity but that has not been the case for me. It still rankles, so I can only imagine how hard it must be for one of the central pieces in the drama, Kurt Warner. Warner is 1-2 in Super Bowls and could well have been 3-0, if his teammates on defense had just made one stop each in the two losses, but it was not to be.

Bill Simmons, the self-proclaimed Sports Guy on ESPN, has been off his game for quite some time now (as long as the Boston teams were losing, he was in his elements, but now that winning is a regular occurrence, his writing has degenerated pretty badly). He gives some glimpses of his former self in this semi-diary of the last minutes of the Super Bowl.
