Last Sunday, my AFC pick from the previous week, the Pittsburgh Steelers, laid waste to the Denver Broncos 34-17. It was a game in which, I hope, head coach Mike Shanahan gave his team holy hell for, as they gave up two fumbles and two interceptions after seeing how self-inflicted turnovers knocked the better team out the previous week.

The Steelers came to play, and what they did offensively surprised me. The Steelers came into the game a changed team. They were no longer the blue collar; pound-it-down-your-throat, double-running-back attack threat.

Instead, the Steelers gave their QB, Ben Roethlisberger, the ball and he proved, in my opinion, why he is the second best quarterback in this league below Tom Brady. Ben went 21 of 29 passes completed, threw over 275 yards and nailed two touchdowns. And just when I thought only Tom Brady looked cool in the pocket... Ben looked just as cool this past weekend.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah all of you Peyton Manning fans can hate on me all you want, but last weekend Peyton Manning proved it once again, he can't win the BIG games! Face it Colts fans, and I get tired of saying this... Peyton Manning is this generation's Dan Marino."

The NFC representative had been my pick for the last few weeks. The Seattle Seahawks were the only consistent team in the NFC this year, as they led the pack 13-3 for the season with the strength of their running game. RB Shawn Alexander was solid, finishing out the year with 1,880 yards, and tallied up 132 yards against the Carolina Panthers in their victory last Sunday.

As for my Super Bowl pick... I feel it will be the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite my feelings on the Cincinnati Bengals game. The AFC once again had a much more dominant year when it came to the big games. If the Pittsburgh defense can shut down Alexander and pressure Seahawks QB Matt Hasslebeck, they should come out of Detroit with a win for their RB Jerome Bettis.

If the Seahawks want to win this game, their WR corps will have to step up and make the plays they didn't get to make all season. If the receivers can make the Steelers secondary feel threatened, then that will complicate their blitz packages, and open up yardage for Alexander. I don't foresee that happening though, and expect the Steelers to win by 10.

Now I must get into a matter of great importance... AOL is running a poll for the Best Super Bowl Commercials of All Time so here are their choices with my thoughts:

1. Coke "Mean Joe Greene" (1980): This ad featured Mean Joe Greene with an obvious leg injury heading back to the locker room when confronted by a young boy with a Coke. After a short discussion, and pleading Mean Joe Greene accepts the Coke that is offered to him and drinks it down in one felled swoop. As the boy walks away dejected Mean Joe Greene calls the boy out and throws him his jersey.

"Okay, this was a touchy commercial that almost brought me to man tears years ago, but today we're quick to wonder how much this jersey would fetch on eBay."

2. Apple "1984" (1984): We all remember this one time ad themed after George Orwell’s' famous book "1984." It featured a woman throwing a hammer through a large monitor to signify Apple's newest division Macintosh. The Apple ad was introducing Macintosh.

"A great artsy ad, but it just doesn't come off to me as one of the best."

3. Pepsi "Inner tube" (1992): A young boy on the beach sucks his Pepsi through a straw so hard he ends up in the bottle with his sister at the end claiming, "Mom he's done it again!"

"A cute, kid friendly ad, but it just doesn't have the impact over time."

4. Pepsi "Two Boys" (1992): Two young boys outside a café spy super model Cindy Crawford drinking Pepsi from a can with their new design.

"Another cute, kid friendly kid ad, but how many younger people watching this commercial today know the model was Cindy Crawford? Today she's just another pretty face"

5. McDonald's "Showdown" (1993): This ad featured basketball legends Larry Bird and Michael Jordan competing in a game of H-O-R-S-E for a Big Mac.

"Great commercial features two of my favorite basketball players of all time, but it wasn't enough to be my pick for best of all time."

6. Pepsi "Security" (1996): A security camera catches a Coke delivery man trying to sneak a Pepsi when the shelves collapse and unleashes a hilarious avalanche of Pepsi cans gaining the attention of store shoppers.

"A great funny ad, and in a twisted way of art imitating life not long after a Coke guy was fired after being seen drinking Pepsi in a restaurant. Not my best pick though.

7. Doritos "Laundromat" (1998): Two guys with nothing better to do try to impress Miss USA Ally Landry by eating Doritos new 3D's. Ally tops them by eating Doritos being shot from a dryer.

"Okay... Ally looks hot in this commercial, but why would anyone eat Doritos from a dryer, and where is Ally now? No explanation where this falls in my book.

8. E*Trade "ER" (2000): A man is being rushed into an emergency room with severe abdominal pains, which turns out to be a lame running gag that he has "Money coming out of his wazoo!"

"This was the first of the toilet humor ads to be featured during the Super Bowl's until Janet's nipple slipped out… Move along people, no humor to be seen here!"

9. EDS "Cat Herders" (2000): This ad features rough, rugged cowboys herding thousands of possibly feral cats.

"The two cowboys talking about their wounds and scratches gathered a chuckle from me, now that I revisit this ad I wonder if this commercial inspired the move 'Brokeback Mountain?'"

10. Budweiser "What Are You Doing?" (2001): Bud spoofs themselves in this ad where three yuppies keeping asking and scream "What are you doing?" into the phone. The ad makes fun of an earlier commercial.

"Bud usually comes out some funny Super Bowl ads, and this was one of them, but it wasn’t enough to overtake my pick."

11. Levi’s "Crazy Legs" (2002): This ad featured a guy walking down the street listening to music from his headphones. The weird thing about the ad is the movement of his digitized legs.

"Just plain freaky… This must be the type of things people see when they drop hits of acid."

12. Coors Light "Twins" (2003): I know they are hometown girls, they’ve sang the National Anthem at Gillette a couple of time, and they are both pretty hot. But what steals this commercial from them is the person that is operating the remote fast forwarding and rewinding to all of the parts featuring the twins.

"A good chuckle, but not good enough to leave a lasting impact."

13. Budweiser "Replay" (2003): Remember the ad where the Clydesdales are playing football in the field? This commercial takes it one step further and adds a zebra into the mix.

"Short, sweet, and gets right to the point including the lines, ‘This referee’s a jackass!’ ‘Nope… I believe that’s a zebra.’ Classic commercial, but not enough, to lead yet again."

14. Budweiser "Born a Donkey" (2004): The story of a donkey wanting to be a Clydesdale and what he does to earn his spot.

"It was a great thought, but ended up nothing more than another cute, kid friendly ad."

15. Reebok "Terry Tate" (2003): A fictional office firm Felcher & Sons hires an office linebacker named Terry Tate to lay waste to those who violate every office pet peeve and commandment. This ad that sparked more sequels than any other Super Bowl commercial.

"Hands down the best of the bunch, and will probably remain in a category all by itself for a LONG time. If this ad doesn’t win the AOL Poll… The shit is fixed!!!"
