Who actually watched the game with a Cards fan?
 

OK, I swear, I watched the entire game at a Dave & Buster's, right outside of Philly (Plymouth Meeting for anyone who knows the area). I live with a Cards fan, and it was hysterical to see staff of D&B to bust the Cards fan when the Iggles took the lead in the 4th (Who really though Action Jackson was that good?).

I thought it was a great game, and it is exactly what I hoped the playoffs would be. Thank god the Chiefs couldn't make it. We would not have had a good game like that.

And props and hope to Willis McGahee. He is the definition of a workhorse back. I wish LJ had the attitude of him.

Anyone else actually watch the game with a Cards fan like me? I don't believe you!!!

There's no such thing as a Cards fan, silly.

I don't even know a cards fan, not sure if I have even met one.

what the hell is a Cards fan? Is it baseball season already?

the "never left" the bandwagon fans in STL are coming out in force. :)

I actually noticed a guy wearing a Tillman jersey today at Wal-Mart. He said he had followed them for years, and was strange to get a sympathetic look from Cards fan to a Chiefs fan. :banghead:

Really? Does no one else know a FOOTBALL Card's fan?

I watched with about 100 today in STL...

There are a LOT of people here that stuck with the Cardinals after they left, instead of jumping ship to the Rams.

Tillman's a good man.

I just got told that the Card's fans could actually give 30 teams sympathetic looks (and they're right...) *SIGH* The Chiefs are worse than the Cardinals.... UGH.

Wait, one time when I was boarding a flight in the Phoenix airport I noticed one of the dudes loading the luggage had a Cards hat on, but I figured he found it in a dumpster somewhere.

The worst part is that they were more exciting to watch this season than the Chiefs... *SIGH*

That just seems strange. I can't imagine someone from Cleveland being a Ravens fan.

Or someone from Dallas being a Chiefs fan.

I'm from PA and I'm a Chiefs fan... granted, my father barely watched football.... and when I started watching, my best friend was from Missouri.... and I watched when DT played... imagine becoming a fan when DT was there... and then Montana... Wow... the Chiefs had some good times that I barely remember...

I live in mesa AND I don't know a cards fan

It's a little different because the name didn't change, and there was a 7 year spread between the Cardinals leaving town and the Rams showing up.

I watched with one and he was excited, loud, nervous, etc etc. His emotions ran the entire gamut. But as I was watching him celebrate the victory I couldn't help but think to myself that if this were the Chiefs, I would be flipping out and yelling and running around like an idiot far more than this guy was. And the Cardinals have been all shades of shitty for longer than the Chiefs.

I know of alot of Warner fans that have jumped on the Cardinal wagon, but I wouldn't call them Card fans, basically Warner worshippers.

Yeah, I still tell him that they would have had a better chance against the Ravens, not the Steelers. Especially cause they've beaten 2 types of birds this postseason. But yeah, the Cards are worse than us. At least we're not the only team to NEVER make a SB (LIONS LIONS LIONS!!!). And we won 2 games... which is still better than those Lions...

I thought it was impossible to hate Warner (and I hate BAGC's). Warner seems like he'd be the coolest uncle. You know, playing catch, water balloon fights, and not trying to touch you in the wrong places....

:spock:

Who is the WE you refer to?


ONLY teams to not make it to the SB: Lions, Brown, Texans, Jaguars & I think there might be one more?

I am a Cards fan. Not anything as much as the Chiefs, but I live about the same distance from KC and the STL. Grew up on a farm, usually only got 1 channel good and 2 others half assed. Had to watch a lot of bad Card teams, but they have always been my 2nd team.

Some of the guys have been to my bar, and can confirm that I have a Cards helmet hung up on the wall next to a Chiefs helmet. (for those that will throw out the bandwagon BS)

Edit: I have never liked the Rams, and would say that I have a hatred for them.

i have never met a cardinals fan.

No, but I watched it with a self-loathing Chiefs fan...

myself :(

Saints

While getting the pizza yesterday a young lady walked in with a very nice Warner(Cards) jersey on,I told her as much and wished her good luck.

2 of us.

I've got a brother-in-law who has been a football cards fan since they moved to the desert. He lives in Phoenix so it's not all that surprising, I guess. I'm happy for him after all these years.

There was a guy in my fantasy league who has for years, I mean reliably back when they were in the gutter, picked Cards players for his team out of affinity for the old St. Louis Cards. The guy would literally end the draft with $$ left over because no one was bidding against him for his picks.
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].

I live in Arizona they are everywhere! Bandwagon jumpers I am sure (never noticed them before) and I went to Safeway and all the Store Employees were wearing Cardinal T-Shirts

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.

Terry Metcalf would have been fantasy gold.

He would field a team like, Plummer, Feagles, Junkin, Centers.

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.

I live in Omaha and have never seen or talked with a Cards football fan...I'm still feeling like a horrible father for instilling the Chiefs in my my son at the "Dad's still cool" age of 12...he's 18 now and still loves the Chiefs...God forgive me!

Maybe Pioli will be my savior...

I hear ya. It's pretty pathetic and lets you know how far the Chiefs Org has fallen.

Of course, their are band wagoners out here in AZ but the Cards have some fans with season tickets, lots of them. In year one in the new stadium they sold for 99$ but hey, who's counting?

I sport mine whenever possible. You gotta represent! I can't wait for the Chiefs to play the Eagles this year in Philly!!! CHIEFS SB 2009/2010 season!!!
