FLY LIKE A....CARDINAL?

You have got to be kidding me right now. It has happened. The Arizona Cardinals have made the improbable run to play in the 43rd Super Bowl next month. They will be facing a team a little more expected to be there in the Pittsburgh Steelers. Why does this make me angry? The Arizona Cardinals entered the playoffs with 9 wins along with the Philadelphia Eagles, who the Cardinals played to get to the Super Bowl. WHAT ABOUT THE BELOVED NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS?! 11-5 just doesn't cut it these days. Also not helping the matter, the Patriots division wasn't decided until the very last day of the regular season. The Cardinals practically won their division after like 6 wins. I am having a big problem with playoff systems, or lack thereof, in the last week or so. NFL, listen to me! I'm not even a Patriots fan, I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, but for the love of football, put the most deserved teams in the playoffs! You know, I know, teams and owners know, that parody in the NFL works well for fans and in the Cardinals case, teams; it does not work well for the NFL and they know it! If the Cardinals win the Super Bowl, that does almost nothing for the league and the only organziation helped by a Cardinals win is the Cardinals. Want to make more money in a down time for the economy in this country? The better teams must play in the playoffs!

  1. I completely agree with you, not only is it absurd that the 11-5 Patriots were left out, its also ridiculous to think that the Patriots thoroughly man-handled these Cardinals 47-7 in the regular season. Go figure, way to spark debate with this blog haha
