To Gene W.,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your article claiming the Cardinals had virtually no shot at winning the Championship game this weekend. That was the same thing they (national media, specifically ESPN) said about the Falcons, and the same thing they said about the Panthers. They even went as far as to say, "Well the Panthers are not the Falcons" and now you give us "The Eagles are not the Falcons". Great stuff because it continues to insult and more importantly motivate the Cardinals, and the Cardinals fans (the game this weekend sold out in 3 hrs by the way, 70,000 strong).
You could have made a more objective and subtle headline but that would have not helped out the Cardinals. You could have taken an easy stand, and say that this weekend's game will be a good battle against to good teams, so that when the out come is determind you could have still looked like a reporter who is giving a breakdown of the game. No, you are brave and made a statement that the Cardinals shouldn't even take the field, and the Eagles should book thier flights to Tampa Bay by tonight (Mon.). It is a great job, of taking that risk, because as I said you a doing a great job of motivating our team and fan base. Plus the sacrifice you made for will not be forgotten if the Cardinals win the game and this article you wrote this weekend makes you look clueless, arrogant, and misinformed, by hey, you work for ESPN so that is par for the course over there.
Keep it up !
