Got into Tampa today and have been to various areas eating and checking things out.

Flew into Orlando yesterday and the plane was easily half full w/ Cards fans.

There are a LOT of Steeler fans here.. Probably out number us 30 or 40-1. I'm really hoping for 10k at the stadium.

But us Cardinals fans are peppered though out.

Weather has been great and a bit breezy.

Landed here at 4:30 I was the only cardinal fan on my flight got my rental car headed to pick up my ticket and got in to a car accident my fault but no injuries. Not a good trip for me so far, decided to stay in rather than go to meet with everyone.

My son and I flew in Friday and our plane from Tucson, Houston to Orlando was filled with Cards fans.

Went to Busch Gardens today and saw more Cardinals fans than Steelers about 10 to 1.

The fact I find amazing is the number of non Cardinals or Steeler fans that are rooting for the Cards. We were told by about 25 people that they were pulling for the Cardinals.

Went to the DirecTV Celebrity Flag Football game in St Petersburg today. Had a great time. Eddie George was cool, came over and talked to me and a guy sitting next to me for about five minutes befor everything started. Jamal Anderson was sociable too, spent the whole halftime tossing a football back and forth with people in the stands, from one end of the stadium to the other. Steve Young went by and some people cheered, called his name - he was the only one that wouldn't acknowledge the crowd at all.

Didn't feel that warm but could feel a little bit of a sunburn by the end of the day. After the game LLCoolJ had a short concert which was very good - even though I'm not a fan of his or the genre, I was very impressed.

Steeler gear to Cards gear was probably about 15:1 but those in Tampa Bay and neutral gear were about 10:1 or more in favor of the Cards as far as who they will be rooting for. About half of those were due to rooting for the underdog, the other half because they said they were sick of Steeler fans talking about how great they were.

Second best thing about the event was that it was free.

Best thing about the event was meeting and talking to Stacy Kiebler.:D

My son and I got in to Fort Meyers yesterday afternoon and are heading up to Tampa in 30 minutes!

Got our Boldin (me) and Edge (son) jerseys on so we will be loud and proud.
Go Big Red!
