GO CARDINALS, GO


The whole Valley of the Sun is still in shock. And all we want is one more win. One more. To shock the world.


So what would it mean if the Arizona Cardinals win the Super Bowl? Well, it will mean 100 million people would witness that the Cardinals are futile no more.


It would also mean that all things are possible. It would give the down trodden hope. Cub fans would be salivating. Charlie Brown finally got to kick the football. The Bidwills have arrived.


So what would it mean if the Steelers win? Not much. They're there all the time. People expect them to play hard nosed, smash mouth football. They are the Lucys of the world ruining dreams of the upstarts, the ne'er do-wells. Even if they lose, you know they'll be back.


Not so with the Cardinals. More than likely this is a one-timer. A golden opportunity, but one that may take another 61 years to come to fruition. You know, players flee for greener/golder pastures. Players get older/injured/waived for purpose of salary cap space. Bad draft picks. A competitive NFL. A tipped pass. A blown call from an over zealous or prideful official. All can lead to defeat.


The magic is there. Grab that brass ring, Cardinals. Bring that trophy back to the desert. Please!!
