Cards Win, Cards Win!

Arizona Cardinals 30, Atlanta Falcons, 24. Freakin’ fantastic!
GLENDALE, Ariz. —The Arizona Cardinals were no playoff pretenders.
Kurt Warner opened with a 42-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald and connected with Anquan Boldin on a 71-yard scoring play as the Cardinals beat Atlanta 30-24 Saturday before a raucous, white towel-waving crowd in their first home playoff game in 61 years.
Atlanta rookie Matt Ryan was intercepted twice, was tackled in the end zone for a safety and fumbled the ball away on a botched handoff. The fumble was returned 26 yards by Antrel Rolle 52 seconds into the second half to put Arizona ahead for good. (LINK)
Simply. Awesome.
It’s always great when a team that has experienced so much misery finally does good. I know my 7-year old son Kyle will be ecstatic: He’s liked the Cardinals since our trip to Arizona to see our friends Kevin and Deanna a few years ago.
I would say they have no shot next week, but I didn’t think they had much of a chance this week. So, in the meantime, celebrate Cardinals fans! Your team earned this victory.

I’ve been a Kurt Warner fan for a long time. He’s a solid guy so I love seeing his team win!
Love Santa’s helpers. There are no Cardinals in Arizona.
Unlike some of his man-ho counterparts, Kurt Warner is a solid family man and a darn good athlete as well. Plus, he is hawt! You’re a lucky woman Mrs. Warner.
Deanna – Agreed. Great win for the Cards.
Captain – Well, there are at least 50 of them now.
Ky person – I know! Isn’t he just a dream! (Oh, I’ve said too much . . .)
