I just realized that I spend atleast 2 hours a day, every day thinking about the Cardinals. Is this healthy?

Football is something that you enjoy and is a hobby. You may think about the Cardinals for two hours a day. While the dude next to you thinks about his XBOX or favourite band or something for two hours a day.

Only two hours a day, that's not bad.

How about following the Cards for over 40 years, day in and day out, now that's a concern, but I wouldn't trade one minutes of that time.

Jeez, I'm verifably (sp) crazy or what???

Welcome. A 45 year fan here. It's not a sickness....it's a passion.

Whenever anyone in my family scoffs or scratches their head at my obsession with this team I always tell them..."well there are lots of worse things I could be doing with my time".:D

Great post! I can totally relate! The thing about the Cardinals is that we as fans can easily become obsessed with how (in the world) to fix this forlorn franchise...we're like mice in a maze...and thus far there's been no way out...and each year brings new hope...which is why 0-3, 2-5 starts year after year are so demoralizing.

I think we need a support group...group therapy for all...and sessions will end with a group hug...call it Cards-A-Non!

Hi..my name is Walter ("Hi Walter")...yes, I've been spending over two hours a day thinking about the Cardinals...yes, when I wake up the morning, I reach for my Cardinals mug...yes, when weekends come my girlfriend has to suffer her way through endless football games...that is if I stay at home...sometimes I go to a sports bar by myself...yes, by myself...and I can be found drawing Cardinal helmets on the back of cocktail napkins...yes, I admit, I am a Cardinal-holic..."

As they say, admitting it is the first step!

Luv y'all...

Hi my name is Angel and I first realized that I was a Cardinal-holic when getting ready for a company (dressy casual) bar-b-que and I had nothing casual to wear that did not bear the logo. Many people don't understand my obession but it is often overlooked because after all I'm just a girl and I don't know any better. ;)

I have been ate up with the Cardinals since 1965. Its OK to be a fan. When the Cardinals win, it will be heaven. Of course, I think they are close to winning every year. I think they are close again.

I have it too, but I'm more concerned with that other terminal disease that afflicts me.

Fellow Cardholic here. I don't obsess over any sports team nearly as much as them.

You know you are a real fan when the last couple weeks of the season, you are picking preferences in other NFL games based on how it will help the Cardinals drafting position.

That's ok, cause we'll be drafting in the 20s next year.
