For years we've had to endure the taunts of the media, obnoxious fans, etc. They've enjoyed rubbing our noses in it every chance they got and are continuing to do so this year. Where I'm going with this, is that clearly we can see a team developing in Arizona that we're going to be proud of and happy to be associated with. So, now, when I read or hear about someone taking another another "swipe" at us, (The most recent--Gary Belsky--ESPN Magazine Editor), I FIRE BACK!! NOT in a mean, be-littling, smart-mouth kinduv' way, but in an honest response, of ""Hey, you guys are going to miss a GREAT "Cinderella"-story this year. I ENJOY being the under-dog as it makes WINNING soooooooo MUCH SWEETER. Anyways, I plan to continue to make my voice heard. STAND WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take (5) minutes on your computer to tell them how you/we feel. BE BOLD!! GO CARDS!! SHOCK THE WORLD!! WE BELIEVE!! One last thing, I told him to "spell" ARIZONA correctly when we make the Play-Offs this year!

I understand your stance, but I don't think I would give most of these guys the time of day.

You know when I want to get even with the writers? It's when they start telling everybody how ggod we are. THAT'S when I would like to blast them. As I said in previous post, most of these writers exchange AP stories and then chime in.
They don't follow the team. Most don't do their own homework, and NONE of them know this team better than ANY of us.

So when Gary Belsky writes a story telling the world his "scoop" on just how good we are, thats when I would like to e-mail his recent story back to him and tell him to go write about somebody he really knows something about.

We keep winning there will be so many experts writing about us telling us "I told you so", it will be sickening.

:yeahthat:

In fact, I'm just waiting for this year, so these same writers will have to cover the Cards hosting a playoff game this year. Oh how the articles will change.

I will stand and fire back... but the damn team better back me up on the field. :)

That is why most Cards fans are quiet about it... but when we have our day, everyone will hear us!

Haven't the Cards been the sleeper pick that last 5 years or so? Doesn't that mean that they have gotten some sort of respect?

FAITH is BELIEVING....

in something BEFORE it happens!! I like Whiz' approach and his demeanor in the post-game interviews. There's a quiet confidence in what he's saying. He knows we've got a long ways to go, BUT he also knows we're moving in the right direction. ...And QUICKLY! GO CARDS!! SHOCK THE WORLD!! WE BELIEVE!!

blah blah blah

its week 3..... I love the cards but we have to see what they'll do towards the latter part of the season. Off to a great start though......

if they go 3-1 in they're first 4 games....thats outstanding!

Lock up the division by week 13? even better.....but we have a LOOOONG time to go.

And as far as the media is concerned.....f- 'em. They literally screw everything up. i hate them so much. The screw up the publics perception on money, polotics, and sports. Ignor those losers and just root harder

Now, now, boys and ladies. A little "education" to the media, especially east coast, could be in order here. I have especially thought of EddieSoPeesoN, those guys.
however, "our day will come", and they hear it from us sooner or later.

When the Cards make it into the playoffs, I'll be yelling "BEND OVER KORNHOSER AND GET READY TO BLEED RED!"

or I'll just simply enjoy the season to no END!

Hahaha...love the thread, and that Kornheiser visual is brutal!

As for the bandwagoners, at the beginning of this season I emailed all of my boys and told them 1) the Cardinals are going to win the NFC West, and 2) we are going to go 10-6 at a MINIMUM!

Hahaha, as a newly-minted Cards fan I wanted to make sure that I put down my bandwagon insurance before this team takes it to the house! Now let's go Cardinals - I'll be the one at the game on Sunday going absolutely out of my mind!
