The correct answer is Tanith Belbin, with Maria Sharapova being a slightly less correct answer.

All other answers are wrong.

An XL Disgrace?

A touchdown taken away from the Seahawks on an insanely borderline-to-non-existent penalty.

A touchdown given to the Steelers when Big Ben failed to break the goal line.

First down on the Steelers goal line was taken away on a total phantom holding call. About a 30 yard penalty.

Hasselback makes a tackle after his INT and is flagged??!?!

That said, ...Stevens choked, Jackson isn't a legit #1 receiver, Hasselback's brain went into deep freeze in the 2-minute offense, Holmgren's brain went into deep freeze at a couple of spots in the game, Trufant blew 3 important plays, and Seattle's defense appeared to be completely unprepared for gadget plays (helllo, you're playing the Steelers!).

But Steelers made tons of mistakes as well. Big Ben threw 2 picks, the Steelers receivers dropped their share of passes, and their esteemed defense was run up and down the field.

But they made big plays and Seattle didn't.

In fact, Seattle's offense really disappointed. They had almost no big play ability, which is suprising. They look a lot like the Packers offense (stylistically), but without the big plays.

They should get TO.

XL Halftime

As long as the zebras are making up touchdowns from whole cloth, why not just award the TD to Bettis? We can say he scored walking on his hands and afterward nodded and parted Lake St. Claire.

And as long as we're taking touchdowns away from Seattle, why not just start the game with a negative 7 on their side of the scoreboard?

And if you're having a rock band play at halftime, you might to, y'know, make sure the guitars can be heard in the mix.

XL Prediction

The Seahawks in a close one.

The main reason, ...Holmgren.

He can move the chess pieces around better than anyone when he's hot, and I'm sure he's dialed up some special plays for the Steelers.

Also, he knows how to get a team prepared for the Super Bowl. He won one and lost one, and has probably been thinking about this day since Jan 1998.

The Seahawks are a battle-hardened team. They've had some crushing losses in the playoffs and have learned from it. They won't be rattled, they won't get down.

They're going to outlast the Steelers. I don't think they can match their intensity, but I think they can outlast them, put them on their heels, and pull out the upset.

Should We Keep Pretending This Isn't a Train Wreck?

Let's see, ...

On the negative side your last job was the secondary coach for the 3rd worst secondary in the league and you were fired, in your job before that you coached the worst secondary in the history of professional or amatuer sport and were fired, you took two very good players and coached them into turds (only to see them play well after you were fired), you were instrumental in drafting an undersized, untalented headcase that was waived in only his second year, in your four jobs before that you coached for awful teams that had awful defences that didn't get any better under your watch. Oh, and the only reason you've ever had any job in the NFL is because your brother is an oft-fired coach.

On the plus side, you are close pals with Mike McCarthy.

KURT SCHOTTENHEIMER, COME ON DOWN! YOU ARE THE NEW DEFENSIVE BACKS COACH FOR THE GREEN BAY PACKERS!

Excuse me while I spit the bile from my mouth ...phhhtooo.

That's better. Choking on my own rage, I was.
