We all know the last Super Bowl was played at University of Phoenix Stadium and, sure, the New York Giants' upset of the previously unbeaten New England Patriots -- with all that history and all that confetti -- would have to qualify as the biggest game to take place in that venue. That's a given, but that's also beside the point.

What Pasch was saying -- quite correctly -- was this was the biggest game for the home team, the Cardinals. The last time there was this much electricity for an Arizona home game, Cuba Gooding, Jr. was playing wide receiver for the Cardinals and Tom Cruise was standing in the Sun Devil Stadium end zone. Surely, you remember the 1996 box office smash Jerry Maguire.
