Leftover Super Bowl posts

A few odds and ends I didn't get to share with y'all:

** I know he won, but Ben Roethlisberger managed a whopping 22.6 QB rating for the Super Bowl, which is beyond terrible. As we've established, if you go outside right now and throw a football into the ground your QB rating would be 39.6. So Ben was a little better than half as good a QB as you were that Sunday.
For the record, in Super Bowl XII Broncos QB Craig Morton threw four completions for 39 yards and four interceptions for 46 yards in a loss, achieving the lowest QB rating ever in the bowl, a 0.000000.

** In case you were still under the delusion that everything in the NFL isn't rigged, consider: The Super Bowl MVP, the guy who gets invited to Disneyworld after the game, was Hines Ward, who just happens to have a tattoo on his arm of Mickey Mouse striking the Heisman pose. Right, he just happened to be the best player on the field. Sure he was.

** Did you see the commercial where the skinny white guy lays out a sorority girl in a game of flag football? He's the Eagles starting weak side linebacker next season. As long as the Cowboys decide to start Katie Holmes at WR, we're cool.

** Only 55 days to the draft. NFLDraft Forecast has the Eagles taking North Carolina State's TE T.J. Williams with the 216th pick (seventh round), but if New Mexico CB Gabriel Fullbright is still on the board I'd hate to see him slip by. Oh yeah, I'm serious. You get some great players in the seventh round. Who can forget what DT Kenyota Marshall brough to the birds last year? (One game, one tackle assist. It was the first Dallas game, and thanks for asking.)

Are you going to host another Draftsgiving Day party at Fort Awesome?
