Jim Rome was on the radio just scorching the Cards something horrible. He noted the NFL was sending the worst teams in the NFL to play a game that counts in Mexico. Said we were the worst franchise in decades and the NFL should have sent some decent teams to show off the NFL. He went on and on for about 5 minutes until I could not take it anymore. Talk about depressing I need a big martini after hearing that. That was about worst berating of the Cards I had heard in years and I have heard a few.

Jim Rome is a turd...and that's kind of an insult to all turds. Why anyone gives that simpleton air time is a mystery.

Is Jim Rome a Cardinal fan? If he is I can see how he would be mad about the Cards giving up a home game to play in a foreign country. If he's not then he's just another media guy that talks badly about our team.

Rhome has said many times he likes Mac, loves the guy, had him on several times because Mac is entertaining.

So the fact he scorched a frachise that canned his buddy isn't suprising.

That's the problem with guys like Rhome, it's all funny until it's you then it's not funny anymore.

Most guys grew out of this after high school.

Rhome never did much growing IMO. Anyone that needs an extender stool because they are self concious about being a munchkin... (my apologies to other munchkins everywhere) shouldn't make fun of anyone but that's just my opinion.

That all being said, it's really really tired to make fun of us for past performance when it's obvious that we don't do things that way anymore.

The darkness is almost over, we are not the NFL's version of a homecomming beaaaaayatch anymore.

Some people need time to deal with that.

Many of you sit here and act as the history of this franchise doesnt deserve a beating :shrug:

Im as biig a fan as there is. Yet when I hear people rip on the Cardinals like that for the most part I have to sit there and say their right! It really is hard to argue.

Hopefully though things are changing!

I wonder why they air Rome on 910, and not 1060???

Is it all the Card bashing that 910 is about???

I didn't hear Rome, because 1060 is the only station worth listening to ;)

I hear ya, Shane. It just sucks so much having to take this crap all the time. Makes me mad. :mad: Will this team ever get to a point where it is respected by the masses?

not if they continue to be the nfl's whipping boy.

I dont care how much money the NFL offered the cards to do this IMO it is not worth the backlash they will catch should they lose this game.

Not to mention the crap that will be said up until then

Winning on the field = respect
Winning on the field over several years = respect from the masses

I know the franchise has been the worst in the league for decades. That is what makes it so bad. Hopefully something good will happen this year. As all die hard Cards fans we all look at this with rose colored glasses. Including me. We will not really know just how much we have changed until the games have been played on the field. How many years have we all started off thinking and posting we are now ready to compete? More than I can count and once again I and most of you think we are going to compete and win this comming year. Would not have it any other way. I do sometimes wonder if we cannot see the forest for the trees.

Exactly. And even when (if?) that happens, it will take the Cards longer to gain that respect, I suspect, than others teams because the sports media will just be waiting for them to return to the "same old Cardinals."

Not necessarily. Don't forget how crappy the Patriots were untill recently. Tampa Bay too.

It sounds to me that the media is just like Cowboy, Raider, etc, fans....they live in the past!! Yes, our team struggles every year but so what? We can all see that it is changing and if they can't see that, than as stated before, they are not good journalists. There has to be some way to write or talk about the Cards realistically without having to bash them! :mad:


GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cards:

Jim Rhome is a little wussy wimp. Who cares what he says. His neck is as big round as a pencil. Gosh people, don't let a little wimp make you mad, he probably was the last one picked for everything in P.E. He's just mad that's all. A mad little wussy. LOL

How bad was it?

Well I'm 39 and in that time 10 wins is the best they have ever done.

I have lived in KC 15 years and in that time the Chiefs had 10+ wins at least 6 times.

Sometimes the truth hurts. I've been a Card fan for 30+ years and I LOVE this team but they have SUCKED for a long time. I hope people keep piling on them until Bidcrap does something about it. THANKS Jim Rome!!!!

I heard that too. He's got a point though. Even though WE know we're a better team and will continue to improve, Mexico probably just knows us by our won lost record. That's like taking a car that has a horrible reputation to a car show. Even though it might be much better, it ain't gonna sell until it's proven.
