NBC Super Bowl XLIII Pre-Game Intro with Faith Hill (HD Quality)

[@Handlethis81637]

For the people who are on the fence about Kurt Warner making the HOF, consider this. He took two dead franchises (Rams, Cardinals) to the Super Bowl, winning one of them, and coming damn close to winning all three. With his numbers, accomplishments, and this little tidbit, for me it's enough.

[@ronniewellington1971]

Justin Addison -- He's a hall of famer!

[@cardinalnation2254]

Justin Addison stf

[@christannuzzo6849]

I voted him into the hall of fame when he first got the opportunity. I have great respect for the man.

[@AJEDDY97]

As a Steelers fan... Kurt probably should've won this game, too. Pittsburgh rode the momentum of Harrison's pick-six to end the half, and that's why we won.

[@christannuzzo6849]

Considering this was John Madden's last game as a broadcaster you figured it would have to be a classic superbowl. And damn it delivered big time! One of the greatest superbowl games I've ever seen.

[@YouAintReady24]

Even to this day !!

[@17cjavy]

Best Super Bowl pregame intro ever !!!!!!

[@DarrylEOwens]

Well NBC sure knows how to host a football game

[@NotaFakeAccount-cj6zt]

Always have

[@SonofTuscon99]

NBC makes the best SB intros of all time.

[@DallasSanDiego]

I was so proud of Arizona getting to the Super Bowl :D

[@leemcdonald1342]

RIP John Madden. Super Bowl XLIII was his final game color commentating.

[@Darkdragonic]

Can't wait for Faith Hill version for Super Bowl XLVI. This song gets you pumped up.

[@papasejr]

1:30-2:13 has to be one of the coolest intros in sports television history. I remember getting chills when the Lombardi Trophy came up from underground with the music cresendoing like that.

[@gdv355]

Yeah the Lombardi Trophy coming out of the water was badass 🔥

[@XeanoProductions]

Nice to know they got there at least once... I would like to see it again.

[@samsungfan1041]

im a huge cardinals fan. and even tho they did win. id watch it again. it was THE best super bowl by far. down to the last second.

[@UsHeHate33]

i still get chills down my spine when i watch this

[@coreylevine3856]

this when the super bowl return on nbc since super bowl xxxii

[@coreylevine3856]

ironic nbc first super bowl after getting the nfl back is in tampe bay in 2001 cbs first super bowl after returning to the nfl were in tampe bay

[@seanvogt221]

Corey Levine And CBS and NBC swapped next year’s Super Bowl (LV) coverage, which will be held in (guess where) Tampa Bay.

[@mjwatts1983]

@@seanvogt221NBC wanted LVI because Winter Olympics which is why CBS wanted XXVI Also the sites flipped due to construction delays at SoFi Stadium Under the new TV deal NBC has Super Bowls that are divisible by 4 (LX, LXIV, LXVIII) because it coincides with the Winter Olympics Fox gets the ones where the season associated with the Super Bowl is divisible by 4 (2024 LIX, 2028 LXIII, 2032 LXVII) ESPN-ABC gets even seasons not divisible by 4 associated with that Super Bowl (2026 LXI, 2030 LXV) CBS gets even numbered not divisible by 4 Super Bowls (LXII, LXVI)

[@SuperTugz]

NBC does an awesome job with sports broadcasts. They've always made a great presentations of the NFL and NBA, and recently they've done a pretty good job of bringing the NHL back to the main frame after it seemed to drop off the face of the planet after the lockout. Good intro, and great game.

[@oilers000]

one of the greatest super bowls ever

[@SixFeetUndr101]

Steelers and Faith Hill.... So good together!

[@CarolinahurricanesEr]

This song is amazing. She has an awesome voice!!!! Go Steelers!

[@euanmc21]

Really hope my cards can get back there

[@michael85225]

How sad, would've been great to see the Cards play in super bowl this year. Close but we didn't have enough to do it.

[@yosh-.9968]

Was so close to a super bowl 43 rematch. That was my prediction too. Hopefully next years

[@kevinscott909]

I feel your pain

[@1945joshuaruiz]

Carson Palmer isn't a QB that has the playoff magic . He needs a defense to get him . The way he played in against the packers was pure luck !

[@phxmaster9684]

1945joshuaruiz sure,why he had that awesome game that I watched right in front of me,he's better than what people say

[@alexbronynerfman]

Cause I'm waiting all day for SUPER BOWL!!!!

[@MustangSally98]

GEAUX SAINTS! We've been waiting 42 years for Superbowl Night!

[@AbomPro]

I really, really wish Kurt Warner would've won this game. The guy is such a class act.

[@dmo100229]

THE SUPERBOWL DOES ROCK ON NBC!!!!!!! :D

[@JustAJoker]

I miss faith hill already :(

[@musicman76enator]

[@PhenomKen55]

This was such a great game. I recorded the entire thing and placed it onto a DVD as a part of my collection.

[@caroljhs1]

I love Faith Hill,the NFL,NCAA,MLB,NBA and a little NASCAR.

[@JoseT1212]

I'm so happy NBC has the next Super Bowl! And my Patriots are in! Really excited now you really feel it when it's on NBC! :D

[@KNS1996DFS]

Great update of the SNF theme and graphics.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Faith Hill lookin' like the smoke show she is. Always made country music okay to listen to lmao. Still miss seeing her in that black dress.

[@dabears3495]

@1:36 all the way to where Al Michaels is in the booth doing the pre-game intro's... The Music is AWESOME!... And, has been ever since... I thought the same theme song to SNF was great and got you pumped up for football before, but when this new version of the song debuted for Super Bowl XLIII, I thought, this is EPIC!... After hearing this theme song, and seeing the camera work, doesn't it just make you want to watch football even more? By far Best Super Bowl Intro/ Game, I've ever seen. =)

[@Handlethis81637]

To finally finish, there was more at stake in Super Bowl XLII than just the championship. Perfection and the first 19-0 season were on the line. The Giants were a larger point underdog (12 points) than the Cardinals were (7 points). It's true that a Cardinals win would've been one of the most improbable wins in SB history, but it wouldn't have held a candle to what the Giants accomplished and prevented the year before.

[@kaismith7807]

Justin Addison But the Giants were a respectable team then prior to 2008, the Cardinals were the Browns of the NFC and were the “ Worst Playoff team ever “ I personally think this was the best SB of all time but I respect your opinion

[@Handlethis81637]

Kai Smith as a Browns fan, I know what it's all about rooting for a doormat. I clearly remember this Super Bowl and I was rooting big time for the Cardinals. I want to see the teams that haven't won in a long time (or at all) win a championship. Unfortunately, this SB seems to have fallen through the cracks of history. Despite Pittsburgh winning a record sixth SB, I rarely hear this game mentioned unless you're talking about Larry Fitzgerald or James Harrison. Even Santonio Holmes (the MVP of the game) is hardly a second thought. Things, and the way we see them, impact us differently, though. I can't begrudge your stance, especially when your difference of opinion was so politely stated.

[@big14black]

Between this game and da Giants Vs. Patriots were da best SuperBowls n da past decade

[@J1NX3]

Seriously have to find a copy of the new NBC theme... love the remix!

[@zodiac369]

love this song

[@mossum81]

i love the remix of the sunday night theme

[@rudylexi8]

To this day I still can not believe Arizona Made the Superbowl...

[@charlettedieuseul1972]

Same bruh

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

And then gave us one of the 4-5 best games ever.

[@myPhiber]

Best Opener ever

[@Mustaine]

now... that was a game!

[@TANK1336]

U GOTTA LUV FAITH HILL!

[@JMK213]

Yeah, I like this super bowl version better than the one used the last 3 years. Hopefully they'll use this version for now on starting next season.

[@HBKshowstopper635]

this was an amazing game. one of the 3 best super bowls in the last decade. i would rank it 1. Super Bowl 34: Rams vs. Titans 2. Super Bowl 38: Panthers vs. Patriots 3. Super Bowl 43: Steelers vs. Cardinals

[@awesome478today]

Greatest super bowl EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lfviel]

In these moments, like Super Bowls, we realize how we miss John Madden

[@captainwoby756]

Super Bowl 53 here we come!

[@catseye664]

i love it at :11sec when she runs her hand along the trophe.

[@TomWegnerYootoober]

This was a great Super Bowl. I wanted the Cards to win so bad but they came up short.

[@71ilovesidandgeno87]

GO STEELERSSS !!!! i love this songg haha every sunday night im always watching ! :)

[@WITNESSREVENGE]

Wrong Winner but awesome game, I can't wait for NBC's coverage of SB 46

[@Linkadu]

The Super Bowl is the game that everyone waits for the entire season, but when it ends, everyone gets sad.

[@pacmantab]

At the end of the promo I had goosebumps...definately was an epic game. Arizona had us on the ropes but Big Ben found a way. Kudos to both squads...will always remember this one!

[@39120c]

@MENKO43 ya, again, the saints never won a superbowl, started the second half while behind with a onside kick, recovered it, then started to lead, a nice 2 point conversion, a great interception to end the game. but this is just our opinions, i liked both games.

too bad nbc is not broadcasting the superbowl this year. faith hill in the pregame intro is great!

You can hear it on this clip starting at about 1:35

[@KNS1996DFS]

Actually Al, the Cardinals started up way back in 1898.

why so much hate for the steelers? that was an amazing super bowl with some memorable plays

James Harrison is the name I hear in this superbowl not santonio.

[@Dapoopinator81]

Who knows where i can get the song when the trophy pops out

[@gole311]

Was there an intro for this year's Superbowl...

[@Handlethis81637]

Now look at last year's (2011) Giants team that won the SB. The team finished 9-7 having scored less points than their opponents. They are the first team to win the SB (in a non strike shortened year) to have won less than 10 games. History will tell you that the team is a statistical anomaly. However, this Giants team doesn't seem to have a stigma about them having a "lucky" run or getting hot at the right time. That's because the Giants have appeal. The Pats do now, but they didn't in 2001.

[@jmac8414]

love that remix at 1:35

[@daveytheviking]

Dear lord what were they thinking? *shudder*

[@kotulakj2]

The best superbowls in my opinion of the last 10 or so years are: 1.) Rams vs. Titans 2.) Giants vs. Patriots 3.) Cardinals vs. Steelers

[@AllPro777]

@apimpnamedsirslick Yeah, 39 wasn't bad. I think I'll have to add 45 to the list now too. I really enjoyed that game.

[@ChiTownWarrior1]

I will still never know how in the hell Santonio Holmes caught that pass form Big Ben and stayed in bounds

[@ojisballin]

best coverage: cbs,nbc,fox,espn

[@klassicsubzero]

As a life time Arizona Cardinals fan, this was a great game. The only game better than this one was Cardinals vs Packers in the playoff game. Even though we lost the SuperBowl, it was an exciting & electric game. Props to the Steelers for how the reacted to us as well as telling the world the Cardinals shouldn't be underestimated. Hopefully they'll go back to the Super Bowl at some point & I think a rematch btw Cardinals/Steelers would be epic

[@rhaspodel]

Who believes SB 44 will be the highest scoring game in history.

[@TheColdcustomer]

only touchdown in the pros ive ever seen count with 1 foot on the ground

[@phxmaster9684]

TheColdcustomer same and I have evidence that proves your point

[@dabears3495]

@Kamakazi242012 I feel your pain!... It's like you wait sooo long for it to start, and when it does, it seems like it's gone in a blink of an eye... I love the Super Bowl, But you get sad as the game continues because you know its the end of the season... =( the good thing is, that we only have to wait several months before it starts again! =) I mean, its not like the Olympics, where we have to wait once every 4 years, you know what I mean? =)

[@sabster74]

If Chris Johnson hadn't been injured, the Titans would have stomped a mudhole in the Cardinals in the Super Bowl.

[@kaismith7807]

Nah Jeff Fisher would have fucked it up somehow

[@JSpearman4]

I feel your pain but at least we are 2-0 now. :-)

[@bittyrock]

Fucking Intense!

[@kingellis2007]

did the steelers choose to play the seahawks and cardinals in those super bowls? no, they didn't. those were the teams that made their way to the super bowl like the steelers did. steelers fans have alot to be proud of. 6 Rings

[@bubbanater07]

wasn't this John Maddens last game? i miss him.

[@Handlethis81637]

I disagree. The Cardinals would have been considered one of the worst teams to win the Super Bowl, and dismissed as having a lucky run or getting hot at the right time. This is due primarily because the Cardinals don't have a storied franchise history. Compare it to the 2001 Patriots. When they beat the Rams, it was their first championship, but the accomplishment wasn't appreciated because the Pats, at the time, didn't have a storied past.

[@afbocc]

How many Cardinals games (while in Arizona) has Madden ever did? My guess is Five.

[@apimpnamedsirslickback]

@AllPro777 what? you didn't like 39

[@bakerandbaker1]

Explains why Al Michaels had to make sure it was him.

[@jonathanrood22]

#steelersnation loved this game

[@cardinalnation2254]

jonathan rood you suck

[@jordanroman841]

My Eagles shouldve been in that game i cant believe we lost to the fuckin Cardinals

[@phxmaster9684]

Jordan Roman we had similar records and the NFC title game was awesome

[@oscarf.1309]

That game was sooo enjoyable but I honestly was going for both but mostly for the cards because they never gone that far.

[@apimpnamedsirslickback]

@AllPro777 so true

[@AllPro777]

@sleres234 For me it's 23, 25, 32, 36, 38, 42, and 43. I'm hoping 45 is as great as those ones!
