I think the cards are going to be lucky to score at all. Warner has the mobility of a rock, Pittsburgh defense should have a field day sacking Warner.

Cards by less then ten........they won't get to Warner as easy as ya think. He is a veteran and knows how to ebat that big rush and blitz.

From the Steelers website:
Ward expected to play in Super Bowl XLIII Tuesday, January 20, 2009 By Teresa Varley Steelers.com
Wide receiver Hines Ward suffered a right knee sprain in the AFC Championship Game, but don’t expect that to keep him on the sidelines in Super Bowl XLIII against the Arizona Cardinals.
“In his mind he is playing, so chances are he is,” said head coach Mike Tomlin. “It’s not gong to be comfortable between now and game day in terms of making that happen. It’s not about comfort, particularly for Hines.”
Ward was at the team’s practice facility at the UMPC Sports Performance Complex on Tuesday getting treatment, despite it being the player’s day off.
“The guy I saw this morning was down there aggressively getting after his rehabilitation and putting himself in position to help this football team,” said Tomlin. “We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure he gets the medical attention that he needs.”
Ward might miss some practice time this week as the team starts preparation for Super Bowl XLIII while still in Pittsburgh, but game day should be a different story.
“We are not going to count him out,” said Tomlin. “We are going to save a seat on the bus for 86.”
In other injury news running back Mewelde Moore and guard Darnell Stapleton both suffered sprained ankles in the game, while tackle Max Starks had a sprained knee. Special teams ace Patrick Bailey suffered a hamstring strain. All four players could be limited at the beginning of this week, but aren’t expected to miss the game.
Center Justin Hartwig, who suffered a knee injury in the Divisional Playoff game, did not further injure the knee but still will be rested somewhat this week.
“I might limit him at the early part of the week to get him physically in the best shape we can get him to get ready to push off to Tampa,” said Tomlin. “I think it’s important that we recognize that we have two full weeks to prepare for this football game. There is some above the neck preparation that will continue big. There is some below the neck preparation that some guys need, but if their bodies can benefit from a day or two, we’ll going to provide them that in an effort to be at our best.”

Does it really matter, after you read this??
KURTIS THE STOCK BOY AND BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL
In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in love.
Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn't possible.
He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, let's take the kids with us."
She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda , brought him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis thought, then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Down Syndrome.
Kurtis asked Brenda , "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities - just like her first husband and father of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary - - - he had a different mindset.
That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life with.
A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children. Since then they have added two more kids.
So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is currently employed as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his Cardinals in the Super Bowl. Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person.
It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. He has also been the NLF's Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player.

That is a very nicve story...and there is no doubt how Kurt feels about his family and God.
On the flip side of that...if SHE had kept her big mouth shut....THEY would still be in St. Louis with him playing FB for the rams. I ahve no doubt she meant well for her husband....but it cost him his job here.

I don't doubt that Curt Warner is a great guy. But I still find one fault with him - he ain't wearing the Black and Gold. GO STEELERS!!!!!
