Why Yes I AM a CARDINALS FAN!!

o.k. I just HAVE to put these article's in here. One is about a scorned football player that STEALS another (his replacement) football players Gucci luggage- classic story, a must read- I think the 2nd story.

The first I found funny- it has to do with all 11 of us Cardinal fans- which everyone jokes at my work and says that I house 6 of the 11. I laughed...

The 3rd is about a quarterback supposidly going to watch football at a friends house and not letting his mama know where he went and ....... get this.... the SWAT TEAM were called out to help look for him and a pyschiarist was called out to meet him at an undisclosed location when they did find him.

TALK ABOUT BIZZARE HAPPENING IN THE NFL....... CLASSIC- doesn't make my homelife look so bad! Ha!Ha!



FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Forget chic sleeper picks, here are real dark horses

Welcome to The Sundays of Our LivesKevin Hench readies you for the newest NFL soap opera."-->

Will Brett find love in the big city? Will virtuous Kurt prove pure of heart in place of bad boy Matt? Is that Chad or his evil twin? Can Adam start over? Will Rudi get his underwear back?
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Sundays of our lives.
The Old Man and the C
Now that Brett Favre has been voted a captaincy by his teammates and hailed as a savior in New York, all he has to do is carry a team that went 4-12 last season on his 38-year-old shoulders.

My friend Rich Hanrahan used to do a standup bit about the fickleness of the New York sports fan. He compared the outpouring of love for Jim Abbott after he threw a no-hitter for the Yankees ...
"That guy's a hero! He's got one arm! He just threw a no-hitter! He's a hero!"
... to the reaction after Abbott got shelled in his next start ...
"Go back to the circus you one-armed freak!"
For now Brett Favre is the belle of the ball. But should a couple of his balls get picked by safety Yeremiah Bell or other members of the Dolphins defense on Sunday, well, he'll find out just how hard it is to make love last in New York.
And if Chad Pennington outplays Favre on Sunday, you know some Jets fans will be grumbling, "We never shoulda let dat guy go."
Cardinal Sins
NFL coaches don't care about good and evil. They don't care if one guy is a devout Christian and the other a partying lout who sees no cause bigger than himself. But they do care about woefully under-throwing receivers and failing to put the ball in the end zone.
So, with that in mind, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt has tabbed true believer Kurt Warner as his starting quarterback. The decision was first reported after Matt Leinart posted a 2.8 QB rating in an exhibition apocalypse against the Raiders two weeks ago. Apparently Whisenhunt is old school enough to believe your quarterback rating has to exceed the number of girls in your hot tub.
After throwing 21 touchdowns in the final eight games last year — more than record-setting Tom Brady — Warner must be wondering why he had to compete for the job in the first place. But he'll be under center against the Niners on Sunday. The last time he faced San Francisco all he did was throw for 484 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Leinart will have to find the strength to persevere as a well-paid understudy. Oh, and he'll also have to find some arm strength if he's ever going to be a consistent starter in the NFL.
Esquizofrenia Paranoica
A mysterious character has arrived in Cincinnati who looks exactly the same as Chad Johnson. But he swears his name is Chad Ocho Cinco. Could this be Chad's evil twin? Well, no, because how could you behave worse than Chad Johnson? It must be Chad's benevolent twin, a humble Latino who will hand the ball to the referee after each touchdown.
Chad may have changed his name, but the Bengals have not changed their stripes. Not only did they welcome back Chris Henry, but they did precious little to improve the league's 27th-ranked defense.
Ocho Cinco. A new identity for one man and the approximate number of points Cincinnati will allow when it faces the Browns and Cowboys in Weeks 4 and 5.
Now that the name change is legal and official, the Bengals should trade Chad to a team where No. 85 is taken. Say, the Chargers (Antonio Gates) or Packers (Greg Jennings). Chad Ocho Nueve?
But seriously, a Bengals wide receiver legally changes his last name and it's the one whose name we could spell. Great.
Pac Is Back
Not since teenage boys were fantasizing about Victoria Principal has there been this much pent-up anticipation in Dallas.
The 21st century triplets — Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, Marion Barber III — were gone in the first 13 picks of my fantasy draft. Felix Jones looks like he's ready to be the lightning to Barber's thunder. Tank Johnson looks ready to be the anchor of a ferocious 3-4 defense.
And now — after 18 months on a rollercoaster — Adam Jones is ready to start over. Thanks to the injured groin of Terence Newman (seen here on his own emotional rollercoaster), Pac may be starting over as a starter Sunday against the Browns. So much for easing into things in the nickel package, covering the slot. Now Jones will be forced to run with Braylon Edwards and Donte' Stallworth from the first play. And pretty much everybody outside Cowboy Nation will be rooting for him to fail.
Tatum Bell Hop
While many Bengals have spent their checkered careers accumulating unwanted baggage, former All-Pro tailback Rudi Johnson needed only a couple of hours to shed his baggage in Detroit.
Apparently not everyone was watching the quiet dignity with which the last men cut from the Dallas Cowboys on Hard Knocks accepted their releases.
According to reports, Tatum Bell, the man who was cut to make room for Rudi, was so displeased with his displacement he left the Lions' facility with the Gucci luggage Johnson had received as a Pro Bowl gift. Bell contends it was all a misunderstanding, but at the very least he seems to have proven he deserves a spot in the NFL ... he'd fit right in with Rudi's old team.
The bags were returned without their contents by an unidentified woman.
"I got the bags back — empty," Johnson said. "So he's got a bunch of my underclothes. What he's going to do with that, I don't know. He's got some socks and boxers."
Bell issued this bizarre non-denial to the Detroit Free Press:
"I wasn't thinking or nothing," he said. "I just grabbed the backpack and grabbed the other bag. They weren't in nobody's locker or nothing like that. They were just sitting there by the computer area right there. I grabbed them and put them in the car."
Oh, well, as long as they were in the computer area and you grabbed them and put them in your car, by all means, help yourself to the contents therein.

Titans Team Report

Just when it was thought the plot twist on “Vince Young and the Restless” couldn’t become any more bizarre, came a Monday night missing person’s manhunt for the Tennessee Titans quarterback.
Young, who failed to show up at Baptist Sports Park on Monday for a scheduled MRI on his injured left knee, apparently left his suburban home in an emotional state without telling anyone where he was headed.
With Young’s state of mind in question, someone at the house called Titans coach Jeff Fisher, who in turn called Metro Nashville Police to begin a search for Young.

Four hours later, with SWAT team members on the lookout for the quarterback, Fisher finally made contact with him around 11 p.m. CDT.
According to Young’s agent, Major Adams, Young was at a friend’s house watching Monday Night Football.
Fisher encouraged Young to meet him at the practice facility, and Young obliged, arriving just over a half hour later.
Once he arrived, according to a police report, “Crisis Negotiators made the initial contact with the subject (Young) as he sat in his car. Shortly after the initial contact, the subject exited his vehicle to continue the dialog with the crisis negotiators,” according to the police report. “SWAT officers approached Mr. Young and checked his person for weapons. Mr. Young agreed to continue talking with officers inside the practice facility in a conference room. SWAT officers stood by outside of the conference room while Mr. Young talked with officers and a psychologist.
“After meeting with the psychologist, Mr. Young left the practice facility by himself in his vehicle. SWAT officers were then relieved of any further duties.”
Later, both Adams and Fisher called the ordeal a misunderstanding. Adams was asked what Young thought about the situation, and he replied, “He said he can’t believe he can’t just go and watch a game and people need to know where he is 24 hours a day.”
It capped a rough weekend for Young, who suffered a sprained MCL in Sunday’s win over Jacksonville, and appeared reluctant to go back into the game after throwing his second interception. It was on that series after the sideline incident that Young suffered the knee injury. There is no timetable for his return.

WELL HELL YA!!!! Why, YES we are a going to the Super Bowl!!! I thougt I was going to cry! Tears acutally stung my eyes on the way home!

I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with my youngest son to meet the group. We went at half time. It was touch and go for a split second in the third/fourth quarter. It was hard to watch! I was getting chest pains.

My hands were sore from all the high fives and my throat is still sore from all the screaming!! We had a blast. AMAZING!! I was sooo glad I didn't stay home! There were car honkings on the way home and in our neighborhood!!

WoW!!! It's about time!! I bet Chris is having to work with his dad today to clean up that field- yea for us, but all that confetti???? It'll take the next two weeks to get it all cleaned up!!

This is going to be the best Super Bowl that I have ever been too. One of my bestest friends is a Steeler's fan. I already started razzing him about his loss (ha!ha!). He's just gonna HAVE to go hang out with us!!!

Super Bowl. I called it last year when the Super Bowl was here..... I was just a year off!

Super Bowl.... I can't stop saying it....... Super Bowl 43!!
