The Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl

Wow.

They did it. The Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl.

Lemme say that again.

The Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl.

I've not posted till now because I've been flat on my back trying to absorb the fact that THE ARIZONA CARDINALS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!

It's not that they don't deserve it. (They do.) It's not that they didn't work hard. (They did.) It's not that they don't have my respect. (They do now.)

It's that in the 61 year history of the team, they've always sucked. When they moved to Arizona in 1988, they couldn't beat themselves off in the shower. I lived in Tucson when they moved from St. Louis; everyone was excited we were getting a professional football team. My Dad said, “We're on the map!” Because that large hole in the ground didn't put the State of Arizona on the map prior to the Cardinals' arrival.

They did nearly hand the game to the Eagles. I mean, how do you blow a a 24 – 6 lead? But, I'm not a professional analyst, so I'm not gonna go there.

The question now is, can they stop the Steelers? I hope they do. I'm pulling for them. It's not because they're the underdog. It's because I lived in Arizona 21 years, and I'd like to see the Cardinals win.
