I would agree that everyone is playing them up way too much. I mean, the Celtics have A LOT more championships than everyone else, but no one was saying anything about them being "the best" until last season.
And the reason that I "compared" football to baseball was because of this comment:

"Greatest sport franchises"... not greatest football team. If that was the case, I'd CLEARLY have to say the Patriots

I thought it was a great game. Of course I wanted the Cardinals to win but I was just thrilled that they made it to the Super Bowl, like how cool is that.
Being a Cardinals fan, I think the refs made some pretty stupid calls. Obviously as a Steelers fan you're going to think they were awesome, I just think the refs put their bias into the game, when they really shouldn't have. I've seen refs do that in general and it just bugs me.
The commercials though were pretty funny (for the most part)

Patriots?
Not by a long shot.
But then, by my own definition, when I think of great football team / franchises, I think of teams that consistently have had great seasons and had great players come from them...Pats would not be on my list simply because they are still a 'new' team with their recent titles.
Truth be told, if they had won the Super Bowl last year, and didn't have that video taping controversy hanging over them, that would be a different story.

Ok, really.. I kinda just said that because they're MY team. But I don't disagree with what you said 
I also wouldn't praise the Steelers as being the best sports team ever! Which is what many people are saying now.

If nothing else...they are consistent and there not too many teams in the NFL that are as the Steelers.
