HBO-NFL tonight--

Why is it that those 4 guys never hardly ever talk about the Cards, I watch every week to keep up with whats going on hoping for a recap of our Sunday game, even if we are the losers or the winners they just don't give us a break. If they do show anything it's usally all about the other team we are playing.
And as far as the picks I have to go to their web site to find out who they pick for our games. We can't get any respect!! If they do mention us once in awhile it's always in joking manner. I know the answer, it will come when we start winning games. I don't believe it!!

Not only are the Cardinals a bad football team, but they are also a very boring team to watch. Those 2 combinations make for zero TV appeal. The 70's Cardinal teams under Coryell were exciting & were ALWAYS the topic of discussion on these types of shows. Be patient, in another 20 or 30 years, we'll turn this around.

I think they are an exciting team to watch and I have never been bored, but I was sure bored at that laugher of a game between the
Rams and the Ravens, that was the worst. I don't buy your explanation.

Ravens and Dolphins. Now THAT'S going to be an exciting game.

Why is it that those 4 guys never hardly ever talk about the Cards,
Because (a) we lose a lot and (b) our fan base (i.e. audience) is smaller than most if not all other NFL teams..

And, no, I don't think the Cardinals are particularly boring - in fact, the NFL Network did a small piece on Marcel Shipp and our O-line and Q has been the topic of several pieces as well on ESPN.

Finally, with all the added access to the Cardinals made possible by the new technology, most Cardinal fans no longer have to depend on a few crumbs from HBO to satisfy our Jones.

We can visit ASFN. We can receive audio and video streaming of games and highlight shows. We can read transcripts of Coach Mac's interviews from the official Cardinal website.

I'd dare say that there are probably 100 regulars on this site who know far more about what's going on with the Cardinals than the "media celebs" on NFL Tonight, HBO, the national print media or various beat writers in NFL cities.

Well, turnaround is fair play. I don't watch the 4 guys on HBO and have no need anymore to devote a lot of time combing the newspapers or scanning ESPN or HBO for "Cardinal crumbs."

I really don't give a rat's damn about what they do or don't say about us, because our W & L record and level of play speaks volumes louder than what Gary Myers, Chris Mortenson, John Clayton, Chris Collingsworth or Terry Bradshaw have to say about the Cardinals.

Bottom Line: Ask yourself - "Who gives you more insightful info and analysis about the Cardinals - Walter Mitchell or Chris Collingsworth?"

The Cards are exciting to us because we are big fans of the team. To everyone else they would be extremely boring to watch as we usually get the bottom tier announcers, have few "name" players, don't score much and usually play games filled with miscues and penalties by both sides. Not to mention the numerous blow out losses over the last 5 seasons.

From a TV standpoint, I don't know if it is just me but, does anyone else feel that SDS produces a horrible picture compared to other stadiums? The full shot camera just seems to be miles away from the action.
