Where were you when you heard that the Cards had locked Fitz up for years to come?

BIM and Mrs. BIM were driving along FR 218A (up near the 87/260 junction) pretty close to Milk Ranch Point. Literally back in the boonies with my almost dead cell phone being charged as we drove. Both our phones were roaming and not getting much of a signal at all. We usually just ignore them while we're on drives like this anyway...when suddenly I got a text. Cards signed Fitz to 8 years, $120 million.

:cool:

:newcards:

Sitting at the computer. Posting on ASFN. Having a totally bad day for many reasons. Might sound hokey, but getting the text about the Fitz deal was the first time I smiled today/that day.

I was in the parking lot at Lowes and a buddy of mine texted me the Adam Schecter* tweet. Insane amount of money, it's interesting to see a team build around a WR. Love Fitz though, let's win!! :)


*I'm not looking up how to spell it, and I have a guitar on the mind.

Sitting on the couch watching Matt Leinart look like crap in the Saints-Texans game on NFL Network. Scroll came across the bottom of the screen....

I woke up from a nap around 7:30ish when I checked my twitter on my phone and read Jurecki say something about Fitzgerald signed 8 year $120 million contract. I jumped up and ran to my computer to see the details.
Nice way to wake up.

I was getting into the car with my kids. Had just buckled them up when my phone went off, I looked and then let out a WOOOOHOOOOOO!

It's ok, my kids know their daddy is crazy. They also know Fitz is awesome. :)

I had landed back home in Philly on a flight from... yes, Phoenix... when I turned on my phone and saw it on ESPN.com. I told my girlfriend, but she couldn't care less. I looked all over the plane for someone in Cards gear, but there was nobody!

Oh, I had the Texan game on behind me and was reading Twitter on the computer when Schecter reported it.

Oh man. I am a total jerk face. (I would add LOL, but I am afraid to. Again, want to add LOL here as well.)

Laughing and smiling are, um, different.

Oh hell. I fudged up. FWIW, I have had very few LOLs and :) today. (Wanting to add some sorta smiley here, but can't seem to do it.)

It's ok! Being the magnanimous person that I am I will forgive your transgression. Mostly because I'm reveling in happiness with the signing of our team's best player! :p

They say that good things come in threes. I had been watching Leinart throw 3 consecutive horrible passes in the red zone. Shortly thereafter, Rackers pushed his 35 yd fg to the right. Just below the screen, I was reading that the Cardinals had just extended Fitz. That was a great 3 minutes!!!

On a tugboat in Norfolk VA. Love the signing. I thought the Cards would give him even more money than that so I am also happy with the contract.
