Cardinals

Surprise!!

The Arizona Cardinals are 6-3 and running away with the dreadful NFC West.

America’s preeminent losers are attempting to turn back nearly 90 years of a losing history that spans three cities and four name changes with their unprecedented march through the first half of the NFL season. They’re doing it with style, too!

It’s been beaten to death, but Kurt Warner has found the fountain of youth in the desert, teaming up with all-world receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin (not to mention, Steve Breaston!) in the best reenactment of the greatest show on turf since the original! The defense attacks the ball and continues to produce timely turnovers that spell death for their opponents.

Warner racked up another 300+ yards through the air and spread the wealth evenly, keeping the very game but ultimately overmatched San Francisco 49ers on their heels on Monday Night. Those calls for MVP are going to get louder and louder with each successive win.

It’s hard not to love this story. After years (we can’t stress that enough) of false starts and fits, the Arizona Cardinals have the inside track on hosting their very first playoff game since 1947, when they played in Chicago. Barack Obama and George W. Bush weren’t even born yet. Bill Clinton was an infant. Ronald Reagan was an actor.

The Arizona Cardinals, say it loud and say it proud, are 6-3. MAD LOVE to the desert birds for an always entertaining and surprisingly successful first half of the season!
