Cardinal’s Mature in Front of the World
WOW…we won easily. I’m still stunned.
The Phildaelphia Eagles are now coming to Phoenix to play the Cardinals this Sunday at 1pm for the NFC Championship. If you predicted that, Angelina Jolie is your girlfriend. If you bet on the Cards to win in Las Vegas…go find the ticket. Your vision may come true. Geez we even beat the SI jynx when the best end in the universe Larry Fitzgerald who was on the cover…earned his salary and the respect of everyone.
Looks like we will have the Cards logo on avnet.com all week again…we will have fun at work…the buzz should be awesome. Wear red on Friday in AZ !!!!!
In my last blog I said nice things about the Cards management, now i would like to say something nice about some pretty good guys at XTRA Sports 910 radio here in PHX…the best sports crew in the valley Dan Bickley and Mike Jurecki and their producer Mike Bauer who are on in the am.
I have listened to their comments for years and wanted to say congrats in your faith and passion for the Cardinals over the years…especailly you Mike as the team’s insider. You said all year they would win a lot more games and you are right…it must be very special time for you…unchartered waters…enjoy your investment in this team for all those years making those preseason reports from up North and all those practice sessions….when I’m sure you wondered about the team’s talent and commitment and then if anyone cared. Dan your critques may have upset some of the redbirds but honest you were. Always challenging the status quo and reporting with a flare. And finally some return on all those lonely away games especially on holidays not with your young family might now be just fading memories and worth it. Mr Bauer is bipolar fan who like me roots for da Bears…not this week.
The fans who never went to a game, dropped their tickets or always laughed about the Cardinals and or now are on the band wagon should just be quiet. What a week this will be for the city. The Cards grew up this year…the fans should have learned their lessons too…root for them no matter what the score or record is. That is what real fans do.
My wife and I have been to a few NFC championship games in Chicago and two super bowls to see our Bears…my guess is AZ could be louder in that great new domed stadium after the last game here a few days ago. We will be at this one too wearing red with our son. We watched Saturday and yelled like it was our boys in orange and blue. We are season ticket holders here and Chi-town and could not be prouder of the Cards. Our friends in Chicago are jealous of our weather this time of year…now they will be jealous about our investing time in the Cards the past 8 years. Bears will always come first but this will be cool. We cant wait to be on the green patch prior to the game…Sportsman’s Park which was the race track Mr B’s father made his fortune that has us in this position in PHX today.
Again smile guys you really earned it like the team and thank you to the faithful. Go Cards

I would really like to say “I told you so” to the national media who all picked the Cardinals to lose, and especially the ones who said the Cardinals were the worst playoff team ever. Please, all of you, eat your words!
ditto, thanks
