If azrearendzone is done mouthing off with his crap, can we get back on topic?

I think the 20 year anniversary is worth celebrating. Yes, we only have the one playoff win, but it's about more then that. The Cardinals, despite their lack of success have brought football to the valley and I for one have some pretty fond memories associated with the Cardinals and going to games to root for them. Just because they haven't had major playoff success doesn't totally devalue the 20 years of excitement they have brought to the Valley of the Sun.

I for one am glad they are here, and think they should do something to commemorate their time here. Here's hoping the next 20 years brings more success then the first though. :p

I don't like celebrating 20. You can celebrate 25 though.

Fair enough, I just disagree with the idea that we should not celebrate them because they haven't "won enough" that's all. :)

ATTN MODS:
BEFORE YOU GO BANNING ME FOR THIS, KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU GUYS MADE A RULE AGAINST QUESTIONING OTHER'S FANDOM. THE FACT THAT HE CAN GO AROUND HARRASSING EVERYONE ABOUT THIS BS ALL THE TIME IS RIDICULOUS


You are in Maryland. You wouldn't get it. It would be like asking us to celebrate a Ravens anniversary or something.

That analogy made zero sense whatsoever, but nice try. You know what they say, "if common sense was common, everyone would have it."

I'm not sure. Since you are the bandwagon Phoenix Lakers fan, ASFN good ole boys representative on this thread, and the fact that you have 17,000 posts, you tell me. But my thinking is that what is important to local fans that live the Cards daily, isn't as important to people who are removed from the situation. I don't care if the 20 years weren't "successful." Each of those 20 years meant something to me. I remember each one. I remember the players, the games, the great wins, the heartbreaking losses. Yes, it should be celebrated.

So because you were spoonfed the Cards for the last twenty years while I had to go out of my way to seek out all of my info, you are more of a fan than me??

Since you are the ASFN expert, I guess in your ASFN world that makes sense, even though he joined ASFN a year ago. That leaves 19 seasons unaccounted for. But there is life outside ASFN. I'm not sure if you are aware of that or not. Outside of that life, there is a way to invest and follow a team that really only locals can experience.
So you blast Abomb for posting too much and hate on me for not being born with the knowledge of ASFN's existance.

If you think someone from Maryland was invested in the 1988 season the same way Phoenix residents were...well

My father has been a Cardinal fan for 50 years (and my grandfather dates back to the Chicago days). if you think that you had anymore feelings invested in that 88 team then he did here in Maryland, you are sorely mistaken. I cant say that I was a diehard at the time because I was only four, but keep spewing your hate. I would also venture to say that I am and have been much more of a fan that most people from Phoenix or anywhere else in the world for that matter. I am about 150% positive I cheer harder and louder from my couch on Sundays than 99.9% of the Cards fans at the games in AZ. You think you deserve a cookie for going to games in AZ? Come with me to the Philly game, where you have to fight people just walking up to the stadium, with your Cards gear this year. Or how about Washington? I have a ticket waiting for you. It takes a real fan to root for your team when you are the only one in the whole stadium doing so.

Also, as far as you saying I dont understand what goes on in AZ, you may be right. What the hell do I care? I am a Cardinal's fan, whether they play in AZ or Africa, makes no difference to me.
Hahaha. twice a year, if that. So I guess the answer is zero. Hit me up if you ever need tickets to go see your "favorite" Lakers play the Suns. The sad thing is that you are so consumed with yourself and the ASFN good ole boys life that you can't even read my statement to see if there is any truth to it. You just jump at the chance to start an argument.
Are you trying to be funny or are you really that far gone??




Thanks BTW Abomb.

Man, that's good stuff there. I have to admit, I respect you big time for representing in the stadium of the other teams like that. This troll is no where near the fan you are, don't even let it bother you dude. Being a fan has nothing to do with where you live and anyone with any sense knows it. Speaking as a Cards Fan that lives in AZ, you're just as much a fan as anyone, if not more. Some people have an over inflated sense of their own fan hood and think that gives them the right to judge others. Ridiculous, it's people like that who aren't real fans, not you.

I think I remember you posting pics at those games. Good way to represent.

Post one pic of yourself at the Staples Center and I'll leave forever.

Goodbye.

Agreed on all counts.

The cards may suck, but they are still the NFL ticket in town, and they have had several thrilling, if mostly losing, memories.

Celebrate away!

I don't like celebrating 20. You can celebrate 25 though.


This I kind of get. To me, it's just that the Cards have had such a hard time connecting to the Valley in a way that casual fans can recognize. You STILL hear idiots on talk radio saying that they need to change their name to something that it representative in the state (yes, I know that Arizona is home to many a Cardinal).


Hopefully the Cards do commemorate the 25th anniversary somehow.

I do not see why they would skip it. 2017 will be 100 years of cards football right? errr 2027

This picture has nothing to do with the "who is the bigger Cardinal fan" debate, but it made me think of "celebrating", so I posted it here.

The Cardinals already wore a 100th Anniversary patch in 1998:
