There were plenty of Cards fans at the Fox Sports Grill in Scottsdale. What a great game to watch. I was really happy for them and also for Kurt. That guy represents Iowa in the best possible light.

Meh, that's just a civic pride, bring in business, thing.
It's fun to go through the deli and bakery when the Cards or Rams make the playoffs, with all the team Color coordinated cakes and deli trays, and the personnel trying to incorporate team apparel with their mandated aprons and hair coverings.

There was a guy who picked shitty Rams players with the same reasoning, but he cleaned up in 99 [though he drafted Trent and had to pick up another QB in the preseason].

Terry Metcalf would have been fantasy gold.

I don't think one can simply say"bandwagon jumpers". Just look at the Chiefs this year. When we have a good team the fans are everywhere, pack the bar for games, decked out in Chiefs gear, with a shit load of Chiefs trinkets. This year there was just a handful of us that made every game. By the end of the year, hardly anyone was sporting a jersey or Chiefs apparel. When a team is bad, people just don't waste their time, and in turn they don't get wrapped up in the season.

Guy told me his wife went to WalMart during the game yesterday and noticed the game wasn't on in the video dept.
She asked the clerk why, he said corporate ordered them to not show the game in the store.
Why would that be?

There is a true fan who is probably, and deservedly, happy as a pig in shit today.

I heard there is a Cards fan in Tulsa but nobody knows for sure.

That reminds me of the fact that I watched the entire second half of the world's greatest comeback, Reich's Bills against Houston, in the AV section of the Bannister Venture Store, with what, by the end, was about 100 other casual fans.

They want people to continue shopping, and not to stop and watch the game. Even worse, leave the store and go home and watch it.

Its hard to watch and not root for ARZ, those fans have been hung by the go-nads for what it seems like centuries while the worst owner in all of sports continues to field shitty shitty teams.

Ill be rooting for the Cards, like us, those fans deserve a SB championship.

They should just show pearl harbor cool blow up scenes to show off the tv, crappy movie so people don't stay and watch it

Huh, guess you are right. Seems a little harsh though.

Bet that was cool in a very man-cave sort of way.

Yeah, but just good retailing.
