Sure, if any one of the 11 Cardinals had managed to knock James Harrison down or at least out of bounds on his 100 yard-return at the end of the first half or any number of other little things gone differently for the Cardinals they would have won the Super Bowl on Sunday. But now I know it was pre-destined for them to lose, so all the hindsight and second-guessing is pointless. Why? Here’s why…

If I had seen Paris Hilton in this getup before the game I wouldn’t have even watched it. There’d have been no point. I also would have laid down about $10,000 on the Steelers.
