Cardinal mania

I'm not a football fan. My three favorite sports, in order, are thoroughbred racing, major league baseball, and professional golf. But the entire Valley of the Sun is totally agog over the Arizona Cardinals being one win away from going to the Super Bowl. It's starting to mirror the excitement of when the Arizona Diamondbacks were going to the World Series, or when the Phoenix Suns, back in 1993, were going to face the Chicago Bulls for the championship.

So even though I'm not a football fan, I join the rest of the community in saying, "Go, Cardinals!" (If they wind up facing the Steelers, I'm not sure what my sister and brother-in-law will do, as our family is originally from the Pittsburgh area, and my sister and brother-in-law are huge Steelers fans!)

Let's see - if the Cardinals score a touchdown, that's good, right? (LOL!) (Hey, I know more about stolen bases and sacrifice bunts and the infield fly rule and whether or not you use your closer for just one inning or stretch him out to two innings, than I do about football! Gotta bone up on my football terminology here!)
