OK, so we are basically St. Louis guys here. Maybe some of you are a little young and don't remember the Big Red, but before the Rams we had the football Cardinals. Jim Hart, Mel Grey, Terry Metcalf, the Cardiac Cardinals...Conrad Dobler starting a brawl against Miami on Thanksgiving day, causing the league to give the NFC Thanksgiving date to Dallas. Neil Lomax, E.J. Junior, Ottis Anderson, Roy Green, Stump Mitchell...you remember those guys. I was in the upper deck in Busch Stadium in '87, the last day the ST. LOUIS Cardinals took the home field. They beat the Giants to stay alive int he playoff hunt, then choked in Dallas the next week.
I loved that team. It was my football team.
The Arizona Cardinals made the Super Bowl today. I'm PISSED! I HATE the Arizona Cardinals. I wanted Bill Bidwill to die wondering what it was like to own a Super Bowl team. I have a total, all-encompassing hatred of all things Arizona Cardinals, a hatred as strong today as it was in '88 when the moving vans pulled out of town. I'll be rooting for an AFC team in this Super Bowl. I don't even care which one.
Does anybody else feel this way? Or did the Rams Super Bowl make most of you happy enough to forget about the damn Big Red?
