The Cardinals are in the Superbowl

Cardinals Win!

The Cardinals are in the Superbowl. What a season. It’s been pointed out to me that once upon a time a few years ago, I called for Kurt Warner to lose his job. I was totally wrong. And they fired Denny Green instead and now the cards are in the Superbowl. So hats off to KW, and let’s see him get another ring in 2 weeks!

This is Sandy and Steve, our season ticket neighbors, who brought a little positive attitude to the game. The stadium was ridiculously loud, and despite it being a beautiful 79 degree day, the roof was closed to make it even louder. The brid’s nest has got to be one of the loudest stadiums in the league. Visiting teams had something like 45 false start penalties on the year.

We are who we think we are

And here is a panorama taken from just in front of our seats. You can see me in the background in a gray hat not paying attention. Jesse’s girlfriend Kayla is standing up next to me wearing an edge jersey.

GO CARDINALS!

Kurt Warner should be fired

Warner Sucks
Kurt Warner, despite his superbowl ring, is the worst starting quarterback in the NFL today. There, I said it.

Fox Sports Fantasy Football Sucks

Our first two weeks of Fox Sports Fantasy Football have come and gone, and Fox Sports is still the worst FF hosting I’ve ever played on. I log in today to receive the following message:

Alert

* Making “Roster Changes” has been temporarily disabled. We are working to get this corrected as soon as possible. Please try again later. Thank you.

This is ridiculous. We couldn’t add anyone to our rosters the first week (we drafted offline on Wednesday and NFL started Thursday), and then when we finally could pick up players before week two, the players list wasn’t sortable by anything but name. Wow, good work guys.

In summary, Fox sports continues their legacy of awful sports coverage that began with “The Best Damn Sports Show Period,” continued on to sideline moron Tony Siragusa and culminated in an online fantasy league that disables roster changes. Oh well, at least I beat Kicker last week.
