No one will ever accuse Neil Rackers of having weak leg. He just nailed a 60-yarder in warmups, and hit the crossbar from 65. So we know where he's good from.

Jeff Reed hit from 55 with at least five yards to spare. It's always amazing to see the kickers warm-up, because they simply never miss in practice.

The crowd is picking up, but it's a closed-air press box, so it's hard to get a feel of how loud it really is. When the Steelers came out, and the place exploded. The Cardinals came out, and one or two sections cheer. It sounds pretty loud - the towels are in full effect. I suspect it's way louder than last year, if only because most of the crowd is for one team.

Ben Roethlisberger to Jerome Bettis: "It's the Super Bowl. Everyone should be nervous." Except the writers!
