As a long time Cardinal fan growing up in Texas, my love for my team and the ability to share opinions on them was something I never had. I was just thinking about the draft alone and how it becomes much more due to all of you guys on here. Before ASFN, I might as well been a Cowboy fan talking about football which amounts to talking to a post... except they are talking to other Cowboy fans and I was alone lol

I always enjoy the time leading up to, during and after the draft. All the info the posters provide and how we all interact with each other. I am so thankful to have a place like ASFN to come read about my favorite football team. All of you guys make this a great place to come every day.

I like all the input whether it's positive or negative. It makes me think and look at the team in all angles instead of just rose colored glasses.

The write ups about the team and players from some posters that go into great detail and we all get to make comments on it. I learn a lot from all of you.

Some of you come up with info on unknown players or find articles with good info.

Thanks to all of you for making this a special place for me.

Having only returned here fairly recently, I'm struck by the high level of sophistication, knowledge and level of debate - now vs. the early days.

Reading stuff regularly from Mitch & Harry is like having our own Polian, Mayock and Casserly on staff - only all they talk about is Cardinal Football.

Props guys.

I faithfully visit this board daily and look forward to all the comments/insights. "Family" is something I place a very high value on in life and I consider all of you to be part of mine. Life is full of wonderful "gifts" and you're one of my very BEST!

Have a GREAT Sunday everyone! It's actually been on the cool-side here the past couple of days and it got me thinking football.

CAGE THE LIONS!!

Nashville TN.
Agree with this. What a source of information. Learn more about the draft from this board than anywhere else. Not much Cardinal coverage in Nashville.

Some real knowledgeable people on this board. Especially like the attention paid to small school players.

There is no other Cardinals' fan board like ASFN. Not even close. I imagine that Skkorp is very proud that all of us have carried the torch. It's to the point where if a Cardinals' fan ever wanted to know up to the minute news or well-informed opinions and scouting reports...it's all right here. We are all in this together and we are a brother and sisterhood, whether we realize it or not. Yes, we get after each other from time to time, but we are getting better at generating respectful give and takes.

While I never met any of you in person, just as I never met Skkorp, I have talked with some of you over the phone and to me so many of you feel like friends. For example, every year when I go to New Jersey, I think of Jeff. When I go through Scarsdale, NY to NYC, I think of Garth. Whenever I think of Pat Tillman, I think of Dems and how much he and his legacy mean to her. Whenever I dream of finally getting rid of Directv, I think of MD and TCF. Whenever I see a tweet that is Cardinals' related, I wonder if Ronin has posted it yet. Whenever, I think of Roy Green, I think of Jetstream. Whenever I think of Joel Blaudstein and some of the all-time great evaluators, I think of Harry. Whenever I think of South Carolina, I think of Mark. Whenever I think of Pennsylvania, I think of PA. Whenever I think of the Buckeyes and a scout from JAX, I think of Cbus. Whenever I think of Stanford, UCLA and Cal, I think of Russ. Whenever I think of Nashville, I think of TJ. Whenever I find myself standing on the corner of Bullhead City, AZ, I think of BCF. Whenever I think of O.J. Howard, I think of Chopper. Whenever I think of Preston Parsons, I think of K9. Whenever I think of winning the NFC Championship, I think of Catfish and the joy we shared over the phone. Whenever I evaluate an o-lineman, I think of Gary (Snakester). Whenever I think of the recent bet I have on Andre Ellington, I think of cardncubfan. Whenever I think of Beanie Wells, I think of THESMEL. Whenever I think of making a poll, I think of SissyBoyFloiyd. Whenever I think of the coolest ASFN couple, I think of Chris and Jersey. Whenever I think of lol, I think of Jeff the Shark. Whenever I think of Mississippi, I think of oaken. Whenever I think of Carson Palmer I think of OhCrap (in a good way). Whenever I think of Branch, I think of DVontel. Whenever I think of the UK, I think of Geurnsey. TJ in Rolling Hills. Jay Cardinal in AZ. Whenever I think of Niklas, I think MrYeahBut. My pals Solar, BigRedRage, juza, LIAC, Bodha, Mainstreet, BillsCarnage, Southpaw, AZNative, daves, Vermont Maverick, Gandhi, seesred, Reign Blood and Lagerfilled. Whenever I think of mispelling a word, I think of BIM. Whenever I think of anything with two 8s in it, I think of b8rtm8n.

Thanks to Shaggy and Iceman for running the show.

I am just getting started here....and to those I haven't mentioned yet...I will keep them coming. More 1st team All-Star Birdgangers in Buckybird, Cardiac, RugbyMuffin, NJCF.

But to everyone -- thank you! Every one of us matters.

I'll tell you I enjoy this website and all of the opinions involved. It easy to lose touch when moving away from AZ but asfn really keeps you plugged in to the cards. Here in California there is supposed to be 49ers fans, but I haven't seen them in my three years here...

I only know of 2 other Cardinals fans here in South Jersey. A kid I went to high school with who I haven't seen in over 30 years and a guy I work with. We're stuck in Eagle/Giant territory with a smattering of Stealers fans.

Pretty badass place this is no doubt. Mitch & Harry among a few others really know the NFL game. I've even made a few friendships from this place on road games! Luv all my ASFN peeps :thumbup:

It would be great to have a beer with you, NJCF. I spend a week on LBI every summer. You are a great fan and valuable contributor to ASFN.

I am not on the board as much as I could be but AFSN is like my other family. My Football Cardinal Family. Met a few of you at away games such as BuckyBird, WisconsinCard, and so many others it has been a priviledge to be on AFSN.

What it's like to be a Cardinal rooter in another (state or) country:

- 2 page full-color spreads on the local team(s) in the daily sports pages/a one-sentence recap of the Cardinal score (between Golf and NASCAR).

- At least once every season, a local media guy will refer to our team as "the St Louis Cardinals."

- You give a shout out to a teenager in the subway wearing a Cardinal hat only to find that he's only wearing it to show gangsta colors.

- What's worse: being trash talked by Local fans...or ignored?

- To that end, having the guy down the street ask you repeatedly: "Who's your QB again?" gets pretty cold early.

- If you get lucky, some Nimrod will point at your cap and say: "Larry Fitzgerald, right?"

- When you bring up "the Badger", local fans will direct you to a show on National Geographic Wild.

- Having to watch the 3rd and 4th quarters of most games via DVR because the live telecast conflicts with the dinner hour.

Cardinal-wise, ASFN is my home town.
