Jumping On the Arizona Bandwagon

by Mitchell Maurer on Feb 2, 2009 7:28 PM MST

I realize that I'm too late for 2008, but I'd like to officially declare the Arizona Cardinals as my new favorite non-Green Bay NFC team. Watching them struggle at the end of the regular season, then regroup and retool for the playoffs, culminating in the wildly-entertaining Super Bowl XLIII, I simply can't stay away any longer. Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Wilson, Darnell Dockett, Anquan Boldin (if he stays), Matt Leinart (if he figures things out) and the rest are now among my favorite players in the NFL. I'll be sure to mention to people that I didn't become a fan until after the bandwagon fans had jumped off, thus giving you true fans the real credit, but as long as it doesn't adversely affect Green Bay in any way, I'll be pulling for the Arizona Cardinals for a long, long time.

Thanks, Cardinals. Best of luck.

Welcome to RotB.

Nothing wrong with double-dipping! Plenty to talk about during the offseason. You will have some conflict in ’09 as GB is on the schedule.

I've got a problem now.

Next time the Skins come to Glendale, I’m not sure whether to wear a Skins shirt or Cards shirt.

Either way, I’ll hate the Cowboys.

Just don't go split jersey a la Brady Quinn's sister.

Course not. (Even though she's hot)

Might go Cards hat and Skins shirt, and vice versa, or something like that.

Skins

Skins all the way.

The only people that like the Cowboys are the Cowboys.

You guys are gonna be good next year

You cant go wrong with either a denfensive player, running back, or offensive lineman in the draft.

Skins??

You should probably stick with your cardinals gear, we are going to do a tap dance on the Skins next year…

For that to happen next year it would have to be in the postseason which means DBS will really be torn.

Yeah....

that’d be quite a pickle. OTOH, it’d also be a problem of luxury — would be nice to have the two teams I care about most actually both make the postseason.
