Super Bowl
XLIII

players in football.
Cardinals, Steelers
meet Sunday
Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlishberger looks to his first
Super Bowl.
(AP) — Arizona and Pittsburgh will play a historic Super Bowl in
Tam pa, Fla. Sunday: a team w ith a history as bad as any in the NFL
against one that will try to win a record sixth title.
The game will be broadcast on NBC (KG W Channel 8) with kick­
o ff scheduled at 3 p.m. (PST). A 4-hour pregam e show begins at 10
a.m. Sunday.
The Pittsburg Steelers topped the Baltimore Ravens 23-14 two
w eeks ago to enter the cham pionship gam e after the A rizona C ardi­
nals beat the Philadelphia Eagles 32-25.
The m atchup is intriguing - Steelers coach Mike Tom lin vs. the
Cardinals' Ken W hisenhunt, the offensive coordinator when the
Steelers won the Super Bowl three seasons ago. He w ent to Arizona
only after being passed over for Pittsburgh's job.
The C ardinals won the NFC W est with a record of 9-7. Founding
m em bers o f the NFL, the team historically is among the m ost dysfunc­
tional franchises in the league and are going to their first Super Bowl.
The franchise last won an NFL title in 1947 when the team was
know n as the Chicago Cardinals.
"It's a great moment," said safety Adrian W ilson, the longest-
tenured Cardinal. "To be here, to go through all the teams, to go
through all the players, it's big for the whole organization. It's big for
the players who are here right now.
Not that the Steelers don't have a special feeling about their
surroundings. Even though a huge chunk o f them have been this
route before, the cameras were out, the smiles were wide, and the warm
sun was w elcom ing as they arrived in Florida.
"Are you kidding?" said wide receiver Hines Ward, the M V P o f the
Steelers' 2006 Super Bowl win over Seattle. "It's very nice to be in
Tam pa; it was snowing on our way here. They had to defrost the plane
there was so m uch snow on the ground.”
