Super Duper Bowl? Unlikely!

Bittersweet? For sure. A little freaky? Probably. Improbable? Absolutely. But bitterswet is probably the best description about how I feel about the Cardinals being in the Super Bowl. It is difficult to contemplate that this could ever happen. It has to be one of the signs of the apocalypse but I have read Revelations time and time again and can find no references to Bill Bidwill other then the consistent references to the anti-christ. Kurt Warner is also not referred to by name but a number of seasoned angels do appear. Larry Fitgerald? Well in the Kings James Bible there are no people of color. Or maybe they all were...

All that having been said it is easy to cheer for Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald and un heralded, never was program against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ken Whisenhunt... another great story. What an awesome job he did taking this granchise from the psycho Dennis Green. It was Whisenhunt who had the courage to play Warner even when baby superstar Matt Leinhardt was recovered. It is a really fun story this year for the franchise. Nothing against the Steelers. Great program with great history. here is a list of their hall of famers:
Cal Hubbard - 1963
Bert Bell - 1963
John "Blood" Mcnally - 1963

At least it is not the Dallas Cowboys... the evil empire. But it is hard...VERY hard to cheer for Bill Bidwill. You have to have a sense that this is strictly the success brought about through longevity. I mean even Tampa Bay had some success after 20 years or so. But Bill Widwill. This smug, little, fat, bow tied, mamas boy, born on third and woke up and thought he a triple, asshole. He hired George Boone as his draftnik and then kept him in that position year after fruitless year. He nickle and dimed the franchise for years in St. Louis, forcing the franchise to move because there was such an awful sense of hopelessness. They then moved to Arizona witha promise of a new Stadium and only 12 hopeless year later, and the threat of another move actually got them one. This has always been one of the poorest run franchises in the league. But now, well, quoting the old Russian proverb...”even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while”. And a blinder pig the Bill Bidwill is hard to imagine.
