That's right fans of all ages. You read that right. THE ARIZONA CARDINALS HAVE MADE IT TO THE SUPERBOWL. Again, I must admit, this blog is supposed to be about running. But right now, that story line has to take a back seat as my travel plans have just taken on a whole new adventure. Yesterday was probably one of the the absolute BEST days of my life, other then my children being born. It has that same kind of....OH SNAP....feeling to it. For me to say I'm surprised and in shock would be an absolute understatement. This game was a tale of two halves, in what will turn out to be one of the BEST playoff games EVER. I have to give credit to the Philadelphia Eagles. At halftime when your team was down 24-6, and had absolutely NOTHING going for you, you guys rallied and just about gave us Cardinals fans yet one more GUT WRENCHING LOSS that would rival the Monday Night debacle that ended up making Denny Green a very rich man with his sound bites of how we LET EM OFF THE HOOK!
Well, did what what Cardinals teams with close to a century of history could not do! We took the ball back after giving up the go ahead touchdown, and we methodically drove down the field and chewed up a large majority of the 4th quarter and RE-TOOK control of game that had slipped out of our hands. and in Un-Cardinalesque style, we didn't just settle for a game winning field goal, we PUNCHED PHILADELPHIA squarely in the mouth with a TOUCHDOWN and TWO POINT COVERSION. Those "Same 'Ol Cardinals" would have either squandered the drive and/or settled for a FG leaving enough time for the opposing team to drive down the field and kick the gut buster in the closing seconds. NOT THIS YEAR! NOT THIS TEAM!
We FINALLY did the unthinkable, and became the NFC Champions, and held the Eagles on a 4th and 10 to basically end the game. What an amazing POST SEASON. It's as if the GOD'S above hand wrote this script. It's as if there was divine intervention. That's right people. This is NOT a dream. We are going to TAMPA to play the BIGGEST GAME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY! We're going to play in the Super Bowl against the team that passed on HIRING Coach Whiz....The PITTSBURGH STEELERS.....
Now.....I must play the waiting game.....Since today is Martin Luther King Day....I have to play the horrific waiting game to see if I've scored Super Bowl tickets.....OH THE AGONY! Come on mail gods....Devlier me that all important letter stating YOU'VE BEEN CHOSEN!!!!
