...I know I would be if the Cardinals had pulled out the win against Seattle. The Philadelphia Eagles basically handed the Rams a win by barely playing their starters.
Hey, I understand they've got to do what's best for their team, but let's face it--they should have mopped up the field with the Rams. A loss by the Rams would have meant that Seattle clinched the NFC West. Now it goes down to the wire.
Since the Cards choked (as they usually do on the road), I don't really care. But I can't help but feel bad for Seahawk fans, having lived in Washington for four years and knowing that they TOO have a history of choking down the wire.
From one bird lover to another, here's wishing good luck to the Seahawks. Beat Atlanta!!
I happened to see a link on MSN to a Fox Sports article called, "NFL's hardest hitters". I clicked on it to make sure Adrian Wilson was on the list--he's number 9.
I'm glad they didn't overlook him just because he plays for the Cardinals. Adrian flat lays the wood. He makes the kinds of hits that make the entire stadium gasp, "Oooohhh!"
Good job, Adrian. You deserve the recognition.
The Cardinals playoff invoice was due today. I just couldn't bring myself to send in the cash.
Every time I get my hopes up, this team lets me down. I'm going with a reverse-psychology sort of thing this time. See, if I don't send in the money for the playoff tickets, the Cardinals will most assuredly win the division.
Of course, I'm not sure what will happen if they win this week and the Rams lose. Will they still take my money or is it too late? Because if we're down to one week deciding our fate, I don't know if I'll be able to resist.
All I know is that if we host the NFC Wild-Card Game and I miss it--well, I don't want to think about that. After all the losing games I've sat through with this team over the past 12 years, I deserve that playoff game.
On a side note, I just love this picture of Fitz and Boldin... I hope the Cardinals don't mind me pilfering it from their site.
Description: Tan with dark brown face, approximately 2 inches in length. Last seen sitting with his ten buddies on my bookshelf at work.
Its a sad state of affairs when you can't even leave Happy Meal toys sitting on your desk without worrying about some asshole stealing them. Probably someone too cheap to buy their kid a stocking stuffer.
Unbelievable...
It seems that all my favorite places to go in this valley are disappearing, one by one...
This one is a shocker, and perhaps the saddest of all.
I have so many crazy memories of this place. The monster beers. The litre-sized Long Island Iced Teas. The gigantic dance floor. The 'YMCA Dancers'.
Wow... and they didn't even give us a chance to make one farewell visit before closing the doors.
Sad.
I've done a lot of sticking up for Jake because I always felt he got a bum wrap in Arizona. I never felt he was in the right system for his style of play, and thought he'd end up being a superstar with another team. I also thought he was just a genuinely nice guy...
Maybe I was wrong all along.
Actions do speak louder than words, and Jake hasn't exactly torn it up since moving to Denver. He had a decent season last year, but this year its back to the same old Jake. And since Denver fans are used to winning, they're losing patience with him.
I guess I can't blame them. If the Cardinals had paid him $40,000,000 to stay here, I'd sure expect a lot more than what the Denver fans have been getting this season.
At the end of his last year in Arizona, he was getting boo'ed pretty hard. Its getting pretty bad in Denver now too, and its obviously getting to Jake.
Strangely enough, I still find myself feeling sorry for Jake. Hell, six years as a Cardinal probably ruined him.
I probably shouldn't pity him too much. I'm sure he's laughing all the way to the bank.

I can just hear Rod Serling...

Brain parasites that impair your ability to rationalize? Creepy.
I'll pass on that trip to Mexico, thanks.
If you've tried to comment recently, you've probably noticed that it doesn't appear right away after you post.
I changed my configuration after upgrading to the latest version of Moveable Type so that all comments must be approved before they actually show up on the site. I'm getting bombarded with comment spam and I'm sick of having to clean it all up after the bastards have already used my site for promoting their online pharmacy/casino/XXX porno/get-a-free-ipod-ask-me-how sites.
Even the MT Blacklist filters weren't keeping much out, so until I can find a better way to deal with it, I'm approving comments manually...
In an effort to find some interesting gift ideas for the man in my life, I came across this article titled "Practical Gift Ideas for Guys".
Aside from the wallet, I know my husband would laugh hysterically if I bought him any of the other items on this list.
Practical? Not for any heterosexual man *I* know...
Inflatable and yellow and stolen is he.
Obviously, someone needs to make one of these and sell them at Walmart. I've seen people who are obsessed with the inflatable holiday ornaments.
What the hell are you going to do with a 9 foot inflatable Sponge Bob, anyway? Its not like you can just sit it on your roof... it might be a TINY bit obvious.
Sounds like Burger King needs to put those chickens on guard duty.
Yeah, I know, I haven't kept up with posting lately. All this traveling kept me busy.
We got back from Maui last Friday. It was wonderful, weather was sunny and in the low 80's--absolutely perfect. I come home to Arizona and its freezing! What gives?
I have some catching up to do. Hopefully I'll get my pictures from Europe and Hawaii posted this week...
