First Team to win six Superbowls - Pittsburgh Steelers
Longest Returned Interception in Super Bowl History - James Harrison for 100 Yards
Most Epic Choke - Thowing an interception on the opponent's 1-yard line, resulting in the above mentioned return.
Total Yards:
Pittsburgh - 292
Arizona - 407
Penalties:
Pittsburgh - 7
Arizona - 11
Amount of Money I won in the Football Pool - $250
Amount of Money I lost - 2 bets of $5 each to coworkers. (Pittsburgh didn't beat the 7 point spread)
Net Gain -220 ( 250 - 20 in the pool - 10 to my coworkers)
Total Bullets sweated out by fans on both sides - 253,476
Cries of Grief - Approximately 6.5 million
Summary: The Cardinals' Offense overran our Defense, and certainly could have pulled it off, but in the end, made a lot of mistakes and penalties, and proceeded to choke.
Best anecdote from the night:
{After an interception by Pittsburgh was ruled as an incomplete on review}
Jim: *smugly* Sorry. :-)
Me: So instead of a turnover, you're on 4th and 6 on your own 35. You DO realize that you're just gloating over the fact that you suck less than was previously thought, right?
(Note: Jim is from Yuma, Arizona, and was able to provided me with a real home team vs. home team rivalry)
Best Pun: (From former coworker) I was really hoping Arizona would win, but it looks like it just wasn't in the Cards.
And now... a victory pose!

Yay! One for the other thumb! Where did you get those stats for "bullets sweated"
From the Federal Bureau of Numbers Pull from my Behind. :-)
Seriously, most news organizations use this as their foremost provider of statistics.
