The stage was set. Down by 6 with 2 minutes left in the Super bowl. Big Ben had destiny in his hands. At stake was a shot at immortality. Had Big Ben guided the Steelers down the field for a come from behind win, the media hyperbole would have been off the charts. Had he not failed, these were the spoils:
1. Steelers get a seemingly insurmountable 7th Super bowl victory.
2. Steelers become the latest NFL dynasty winning 3 rings in 6 years.
3. Big Ben receives "relative" media absolution from sexual deviant label.
4. Big Ben joins the mount rushmore (3 or more rings) of NFL quarterbacks - Aikman, Montana, Brady, and Bradshaw.
5. Big Ben greatly diminishes the significance of his horrible first SB qb ranking
6. Steelers get bragging rights as first SB victor in a Dallas' house.
7. "And they're buying a stairway to......." DOH!
The 2 minutes that COULD have BEN. Here's hoping that Tom Landry, in the real nosebleed seats, had something to do with the outcome.
