ESPN Radio laughing at the Cards this AM.

[cardzfan]

If Tampa Bay or Philladelphia got 8 sacks in a pre-season game the talk would be "Superbowl Defense". You would see highlights ad-nauseum. The Cards do it and the national media ignores it. When we introduce Brett Favre to the grass at Sun Devil Stadium they will take notice.

The Cards have had good preseason records before. They have gone 3-1 twice and I remember, though I may be wrong, that they once went 4-0. You know what? Preseason don't mean jack. I have been a Cards fan since they came to the Valley, which makes this my 15th year. As much as I root for them and as many offseasons of optimism that I have gone through, for real is for real. The Cards as a team and as an organization have yet to do anything to earn national respect. In spite of that, I remain a fan, as painful as it is sometimes. I cannot feign allegiance to another team. I cannot help but to be a Cards fan. In spite of my criticism and sometimes my doubt, I continue to buy and wear Cards gear in public. I hear it all yet I stand in the face of it AND I argue my side. In the end, my argument is based only on loyalty to the team I choose to follow. I cannot base my allegiance on the historical success of the team nor on the legitimacy of the organization. You fans with the blinders on are not true fans. I am a true fan in spite of how jaded I am....

Hey man I defended you up above - but there is no reason to say the people with blidners on aren't true fans. If you are a Cardinals Fan - YOU ARE A TRUE FAN period.

What I'm saying is that I remain a fan IN SPITE OF their faults whereas others are fans IN DENIAL....

I'd say that's a BIG difference....

ESPN is good for one thing: up to the minute sports news. As far as their writers on ESPN.com, they hate the Cardinals. Len Pass-whatever is a biased moron. They jump on the bandwagon. If the Cardinals make the play-offs for two years in a row, they'll all be claiming that they've been saying the Cardinals were a team on the rise.

You are absolutely correct, they do it all the time. They are always saying that we had an eye on this team or that team, but really they didn't know SQUAT!!!

yes they hate us - give me a break - they don't care about us and whatever they do care - they like because we, the clippers and the bengals give them easy jokes. I mean we've gotten ripped on by the Simpsons as well - does that mean their writers hate us also?

Funny - when they write a good article - they are right on the money - but when they write soemthing that is negative - it is that they hate us. So if they are so misinformed - let me ask you all this - they think Coach Mac is a good coach in a bad organization - does this really mean that Mac sucks hard - I mean the media loves him - shouldn't that mean he's the worst thing since molded bread since they obviously have no idea what they;re talking about with this team, right? Or does it only go one way.
