[Kevin]

Maybe Donavan should go to the Cards sideline and pick up the phone.

[Kevin]

Poor Mojo.

[TheMojoPin]

Poor Mojo.

Those assholes. At least wait a couple months.

Did the Cards just win the Superbowl?

[disneyspy]

[cougarjake13]

Did the Cards just win the Superbowl?

for them they may have

[Friday]

for them they may have

[KnoxHarrington]

I was feeling good about this until I saw that old bastard Bidwell holding the trophy.

You're still one of the worst owners in sports, you old fossil.

[Sinestro]

nfc champion arizona fucking cardinals !!!!!

Buddy Ryan's prediction finally comes true after all these years.

[sailor]

i missed from half-time to right after the eagles took the lead for 22 seconds. the version i saw was 32-6. how the fuck did philly make it respectable?

[cougarjake13]

not only that, but i wonder if the superbowl will even be able to provide such a fantastic dramatic game...

i think so

the cardinals will be playing here in my back yard and although its unusually cold now by the super bowl it'll be warmer and it still wont be as bad as balt or pitt

[cougarjake13]

who was the chick signing the anthem for the pitt game

[cougarjake13]

i missed from half-time to right after the eagles took the lead for 22 seconds. the version i saw was 32-6. how the fuck did philly make it respectable?

it was never 32 6


it was 24 6 at half

then the eagles scored 3 td's to make it 25 - 24 eagles missed an extra point and a 2 pt conversion

[Dirtbag]

not only that, but i wonder if the superbowl will even be able to provide such a fantastic dramatic game...

Both championship games are always better than the Super Bowl. But since the Cardinals are involved, it'll either be a complete blowout or compelling to the end.

[Drunky McBetidont]

fucking steve tasker is a maniac. he has a huge "double think" helmet when he played for the bills. he rules. glad cbs picked him up.

[NickyL0885]

I was kinda hoping for an all Wild Card Super Bowl with the Eagles vs Ravens. That has never happened.

[cougarjake13]

Both championship games are always better than the Super Bowl. But since the Cardinals are involved, it'll either be a complete blowout or compelling to the end.

not always


i remember last years being pretty close


actually in this decade all the patriot super bowls have been close



2000 giants 41 vikings 0 super bowl ravens 34 giants 7 so right there it disproves your always


only real blowout was the bucs over raiders


steelers seahawks was somewhat close 21-10
and colts bears also somewhat close 29-17

[sailor]

it was never 32 6


it was 24 6 at half

then the eagles scored 3 td's to make it 25 - 24 eagles missed an extra point and a 2 pt conversion

you misunderstood me. i left at 24-6, came back after missing the phillies come back take the lead 25-24, then saw the cards score their last 8. i didn't see those 19 points in the middle, but saw all of arizona's scores. i saw 32 points scored by arizona and 6 scored by philly.

[cougarjake13]

that was mcnabb out there, not ryan howard


and it was kevin curtis not chase utley

ah yeh i can see it


you confused me with the version i saw 32-6

[Friday]

wait.
the phillies were playing today?

:tongue:

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Cards squeak out victory over eagles

Cards set flight for Tampa

[sailor]

that was mcnabb out there, not ryan howard


and it was kevin curtis not chase utley

ha, i kept typing philly and one got away from me.

[cougarjake13]

wait.
the phillies were playing today?

:tongue:

maybe thats why they lost

[meanmrbill]

Flacco looked a lot like Eli on that sneak.

[meanmrbill]

Holmes comes through again!!!

[Kevin]

Im so glad the Giants passed up Holmes for Kiwanuka.

[cougarjake13]

Im so glad the Giants passed up Holmes for Kiwanuka.

kiwi's not bad

but i'd love to have holmes right now


esp with what plax did to us

[Grizzlebee]

Another Eagles Choke!! :wallbash:

[SP1!]

Who the hell is this cardinals team? They sucked all year and now they are world beaters

[cougarjake13]

Who the hell is this cardinals team? They sucked all year and now they are world beaters

they were a decent team all year but really didnt beat anyone outside their division


adding edge to the running game made them more balanced and theyve just peaked at the right time

[disneyspy]

That Hit Was Vicious!

[Brudep]

If the Steelers score on this drive its over.

[cougarjake13]

If the Steelers score on this drive its over.

you're nuts

its only a 9 point game with 3 mins left in the 3rd and all of the 4th left

even a touchdown woulda only made it a 13 point lead, still a 2 possession game

[Brudep]

are we there yet?

[cougarjake13]

are we there yet?

if by there you mean insane

then yeh you're there

[joeyballsack]

i love how nantz called polamalu one of the best players at any position inbetween him blowing coverage on gates badly and whiffing on a tackle at the line of scrimage. one of the most overrated at any position is more like it. he stinks in coverage, badly.

Face bitch.

Ed Reed was the second best safety on the field today.

[Chip196]

Wow ... what a hit

[meanmrbill]

That was an overrated pick-6

[barjockey]

Wow ... what a hit

I'm watching "Sling Blade" and just said the same thing.:innocent:

[sailor]

Wow ... what a hit

i'm really glad pitt's gonna win, but that was a dirty hit. he lowered his head and led with the helmet to the other guy's helmet. the announcer's a moron. in my opinion.

[Chip196]

I don't know ... I thought so at first and was yelling at the announcer ... but after a couple replays it really does look like he twisted his body in an attempt to go shoulder first. I could be wrong of course ... it just wasn't as convinving as I first thought.

[brettmojo]

Yeah, he did try to twist out of the way. They were both going full speed there really wasn't any chance of them avoiding it.

[smiler grogan]

If that was in Philly the fans would have thrown snowballs at him while he was being carted out.

[Snoogans]

If that was in Philly the fans would have thrown snowballs at him while he was being carted out.

I dont even doubt it

[razorboy]

Looks like the Cards and Steelers are coming to town. At least the Eags lost. An all PA Super Bowl in Tampa and all of the obnoxious PA fans it would bring in and I'd probably have to off myself.

[lleeder]

That was a crazy tip.

[JimBeam]

I think it should've been a penalty.

It was helmet to helmet whether he wanted it to be or not.

When they rough the kicker I'm sure they don't mean it but that doesn't stop them from flagging the guy.

[foodcourtdruide]

I will say that Phil Simms is about 1,000,000x better at commentary than Troy Aikman. The CBS broadcasting team is so much better than Fox's.

[razorboy]

Unfortunately CBS HD blows. I don't know what it is but the picture just sucks.

[TheGameHHH]

I will say that Phil Simms is about 1,000,000x better at commentary than Troy Aikman. The CBS broadcasting team is so much better than Fox's.

Phil Simms isn't better then anybody at being a commentator. If I ever got a telecast that was being called by Joe Buck and Phil Simms I think I'd have to kill myself.

[SP1!]

Unfortunately CBS HD blows. I don't know what it is but the picture just sucks.

Maybe its your cable provider or your TV, ours is crystal clear.

[Donnie Iris]

i'm really glad pitt's gonna win, but that was a dirty hit. he lowered his head and led with the helmet to the other guy's helmet. the announcer's a moron. in my opinion.

It wasn't dirty. He appeared to attempt to pull back, probably if anything in an effort to prevent injury even to himself.

Arizona undeniably looks good right now but I have to say I like our chances. I thought I heard seven point favorites, but I'm not sure.

[KnoxHarrington]

There's a week off before the Super Bowl, and that tends to cool off hot teams. That will hurt the Cardinals, I think.

[Freakshow]

That was an overrated pick-6

His first career TD in the playoffs? even a blind squrriel...

(for the record I listeded to the post game interview on the radio and said it was 'lucky.')

Did you see him jump the pile on the second TD when the run went to were he was supposed to be lined up? What a freaking douche, he jumped the pile 3 times and didn't have an effect on any of those plays. But it allows them to fawn over him on the TV...

[Kevin]

Did not cool off the Gianta last year, or the Steelers the year before.

[brettmojo]

Aikman is great in the booth. He's the only thing that can salvage Joe Buck's awfulness. I wish he'd stick with baseball so he could only ruin that.

[KojiClutch]

Did not cool off the Gianta last year, or the Steelers the year before.Colts were before the Giants.

Arizona undeniably looks good right now but I have to say I like our chances. I thought I heard seven point favorites, but I'm not sure.

i don't see any attempt to pull-back. maybe he braced a bit knowing he was doing something dumb. he lowered his head and lead with it.

[Kevin]

Colts were before the Giants.



Oh yea

[HBox]

Did not cool off the Gianta last year, or the Steelers the year before.

What are you talking about? Brian Gionta was awful last year.

[HBox]

Anquan Boldin acts like not quite a professional. (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs2008/news/story?id=3843834)

Boldin wasn't too happy with being minimized in the fourth quarter of Arizona's 32-25 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles that clinched the franchise's first Super Bowl berth. Late in the game, cameras showed Boldin arguing with offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
"I was not given any explanation why I was taken out," Boldin said Monday, during an interview on ESPN's NFL Live, when asked what led to the sideline confrontation. "Like any competitor I wanted to know why."

...

Once the game ended, the two-time Pro Bowl selection left the field quickly without celebrating. According to one postgame account, which he disputed, Boldin was seen leaving the locker room via a back door.
"I didn't leave through a back door. I tried to get in and out as quickly as possible to beat the media," he said. "I didn't want the story line to be me and Todd getting into it."

I don't think even TO would do something like this.

[Dirtbag]

I don't think even TO would do something like this.
TO spends half the game yelling at coaches.

[KnoxHarrington]

TO spends half the game yelling at coaches.

Yeah, but TO knows to act like a good team player when things are going good. When the team's winning, he'll sing the praises of his QB and coaches to everyone. It's when things start to go sideways that he starts bitching.

So, yeah, I think Boldin went somewhere even TO wouldn't.

and if you watch the replay mcgahee goes lower right before the hit too

I hate Merrill Hodge.

Last (last) year, he voted the Steelers #1, even though at the time, they were like 10-2 and the Patriots were 12-0. Now's he's just yelling about how much better the Steelers are than the Cardinals.

Actually, I pretty much hate every one on ESPN, yet I keep watching.

Stuart Scott has a new segment starting; The Mount Rushmore of Sports, where they'll pick one person to win (which isn't a Mt Rushmore).

I hope one day Stuart Scott, Chris Berman, Merrill Hodge and Rick Reilly (could his on air "segments" be any worse?) are travelling in a bus together and get into a catastrophic accident.

I really hope today's Super Bowl turns out like another one it reminds me of - Super Bowl XIV, played back in January of 1980. Back then the Steelers came out of the AFC to face a surprise NFC team - the 9-7 Los Angeles Rams.

The Steelers were HUGE favorites and everyone figured the Rams were a fluke and the game wouldn't be competitive. Not only did the Rams lead at halftime, but they were actually up 19-17 in the 4th quarter. The Steelers rallied to win the game 31-19, but it was an awesome game and a lot closer than the final score indicated.

?????? So you're rooting for the Steelers to win?????


Go Cards go!!!!

[Gvac]

Fuck no!

I just don't want a blow out. I can't get myself to believe the Cards will win, but I hope they do. If not, I don't want it to be 31-0 in the 3rd quarter.

[razorboy]

Go Cards, I guess.

C-A-R-D-I-N-A-L-S....Cardinals. Cardinals. Goooooo Team!!!!





what's that Kurt???

Thank you Jesusssss!!!!

[TripleSkeet]

Nobody Ive seen are giving the Cardinals a chance. Taking the last 10 years into account, plus who they have at QB.....I gotta pick them to win outright.

[cougarjake13]

this decade has been the decade of franchises ending long time championship droughts




so go cardinals

Did everyone else see Albert Haynesworth holding the Colts helmet while talking about Free Agency?

no where was that ??

[underdog]

no where was that ??

They showed it on Sportscenter. He asked someone to throw him that helmet, then started talking about free agency while holding the Colts helmet.

[RAAMONE]

what...arizona fans (who really dont even exist)

and i'll throw in an "OBAMA NAH" cause our coach is a young black guy...maybe that had something to do with that

[cougarjake13]

with the steelers making the super bowl they were talking about their championships which got me to thinking about the super bowls in the 70's


then i realized that the cowboys went 5 times, minnesota 4 times and the other team to go in that 10 yr span was washington


after the so called dynasty era ended i never thought something like that could happen again

but the patriots made it 4 times in the 00's, and the steelers twice and one year left

Your forgetting the Bills and Denver during the 90's. By your definition, they would have to be considered dynasties.

[jauble]

Your forgetting the Bills and Denver during the 90's. By your definition, they would have to be considered dynasties.

I think you have to win to be a dynasty.

[joeyballsack]

I think you have to win to be a dynasty.

Yeah, I agree, but he included Minnesota in his list of 70's dynasties, and they were the original Bills, going 0-4.

[cougarjake13]

Your forgetting the Bills and Denver during the 90's. By your definition, they would have to be considered dynasties.

yeh i was thinking about them to


from 86-89 the broncos went 3 out 4 years, benagls went in 88
bills went 90-93

then broncos again in 97 and 98



so in 13 yrs it was either bills or broncos 9 out of the 13

[cougarjake13]

I think you have to win to be a dynasty.

Yeah, I agree, but he included Minnesota in his list of 70's dynasties, and they were the original Bills, going 0-4.

i never said dynasties


just thought it was interesting that for 90% of the 70's super bowls it was either the cowboys or vikings as the nfc representative
