The Arizona Cardinals finally made the Super Bowl. That's great and all, but look at all of the odds that they must over come. The Steelers are a -7 in gambling venues , 20 Steelers have participated in a previous Super Bowl as compared to 5 for the Cards, and now the Steelers have a new fan and he just happens to be the leader of the free world.
The Rooney family campaigned very hard for Barack Obama in his successful run to presidency. In doing so, the two families became close friends. Dan Rooney and his son Jim were invited to a black tie dinner at which the Rooneys provided Obama with the game ball from the AFC Championship.
"But he's a Steelers' fan. He's said it, and all his staff, they're rooting for us [in the Super Bowl]." According to Dan Rooney.
So good luck Arizona, not only do you have to beat one of the most storied franchises in all of sports history, but you have arguably the most influential man rooting for the Steelers.
