What About You?

What do you do(job)? I work as a sales/customer service agent for an online company. Very easy stuff. I get a lot of down time to do whatever.

Where do you live? Phoenix, AZ, all my life

How and when did you become a Cardinals fan? I became a Cardinals fan at the start of the 2003 season. I have to admit Emmitt Smith drew me in. I was hooked after that year, especially when we knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs the last game of the year.

Who is your favorite Cardinals player? It was Anquan since 2003. Then Warner. Now it’s a three way tie between Wilson, Fitzgerald, and Dockett.

Something interesting about yourself: I would have to say writing for this site, but all of you guys know that. I am a huge MMA fan. Often spend my time at www.bloodyelbow.com.

So there it is. You guys better not leave me hanging here ;)

Its been awhile since I have posted on here so hopefully I can get back to being a regular.
What do you do(job)? – I am a Realtor with Remax Homes & Investments and have been in the business for over 5 years now.

Where do you live? – I live and grew up in Mesa, AZ

How and when did you become a Cardinals fan? – My dad was friends with Danny White so when we were little we were Cowboy fans (27 now). One day when I was about 9 I said “hey we live in AZ so we should be Cardinal fans”. My entire family has slowly switch loyalties and for the past 5 years we have been a Cardinal family (including my Dad who took the longest to convert).

Who is your favorite Cardinals player? – Adrian Wilson no doubt about it. I am big on loyalty and honesty. He has been a stand up guy here and extremely loyal to the Cardinals. I applaud him for that. It doesnt hurt that I love his nasty mentality on the field.

Something interesting about yourself: – Lived outside of the country (Guatemala) for two years.

I take criminal justice classes at ITT Tempe

Live and grew up in Mesa AZ.

Being here basically, I grew up watching them since they were the home team.

Warner, who is also my favorite player in the NFL period.

I’m a video game addict.

1) I am currently working for the Dept. of Economic Security (DES) as a summer job but will leave after the summer because i am a full time student at ASU.

2) Live in Mesa but am from Douglas a small border town in AZ

3) Been a Cards fan since i was small since they were the home town team

4) Am a video game addict like Joe and am majoring in Mechanical Eng. ( GO SUNDEVILS!!!)

I work for Enterprise as an area car sales manager in Allentown, PA for the last 7 years.

I live in Allentown, PA, but lived in Mesa as a younger man.

I was 8 and living in Mesa when the Cards came to town. I was just figuring out what football was and the Cards happened to be the home team. I’ve been bleeding Cardinal Red ever since.

All time favorite Cardinal is Eric Swann, currently my favorites are Fitzy and A-Dubb.

I’m kind of boring, but I’m the 5th of 8 kids, and my oldest brother played for Mt View and was playing in the state championship game in 1992 against Mesa High when they got in a brawl with a minute left to go at Sun Devil Stadium.

And I think this was a great idea!

Fan Since, 94 me and my dad went to game then got season tix now spend most my time trying to learn as much as possible bout them

Something Interesting, Recovered Addict

1. I’m a high schooler, going into 10th grade
2. I live in MA, but i was born in Mesa, AZ
3. I became a Cards fan about halfway through whiz’s 1st season in AZ, but i was raised a Broncos fan (i strongly dislike them now that mcdaniels is there)
4. my favorite player is definitely adrian wilson. just love the way he plays.
5. something interesting is i was raised to make fun of the cardinals and plummer… but then got over that once whiz got there

Born in LA but raised in Sedona, AZ. Currently live in Santa Barbara, CA. Recent college grad, just started working for an Apple.
I became a Cards fan with the drafting of Fitz and I became a die hard with the firing of Denny Green and the hiring of Whiz. Met Emmit Smith in person when I was 16, had a conversation with him and he was very nice (also his wife was gorgeous). I was surprised at how small he was considering his legendary career. A-Dub is my favorite athlete by far with DD and Fitz in close contention.
I also coached JV football for four years as the head coach. It was a ton of fun but a huge challenge working with a very undersized and usually out maned team.

1) I am a produce buyer for one of the largest grocery chains in North America for their Canadian divisions.

2) Live in Phoenix since 1990.

3) Been a Cards fan since I moved here in 90. One of the few that sat in the scorching hot benches in Sun Devil Stadium for years. Lived through some really bad years with the Cards, but it’s all good now!

4) Favorite player has been Boldin since his rookie year, but I would have to say double D and probably will be Beanie since I have him on my fantasy team this year!

I discovered this site a couple years ago (shortly before our superbowl run) and have been an avid reader since. Enjoy all the articles and posts, but have just recently started posting things myself. Love my PS3 and I am a total homer for all our local teams!

Can someone else rec this story? I want it to stay at the top of the page.

To answer the questions, let’s see if I can remember what was asked. First, I work at a company called “Busybody Home Fitness,” as a fitness consultant. We’re a specialty fitness store that sells equipment for home use. Great job, especially when times are good. As my screen name implies, I live in Long Beach, CA. I became a Cardinals fan back in 1992 when the Air Force assigned me to Luke AFB. Grew up in Oregon, where the closest thing we had to a pro team was in the USFL so as NFL teams went I started out as a Vikings fan (nearly every relative I have is from there). When I got older, as an act of rebellion I became a Bears fan but those were just adopted teams until I finally moved to a city that had their own. Lived in Washington after I left Arizona but as they say, you never forget your first…

Favorite player, tough call. There’s dozens of players I could list but I’ve got to go with Adrian Wilson. Have to respect someone who could have left for greener pastures but stayed because he wanted to build something where he was at. Complete respect his approach to and the way he plays the game. As a back-up choice I’ll go with Hightower. Something interesting about me is I have two children, ages 12 & 9. Both are big Cardinals fan as well, I think they’d list Fitz and Beanie as their favorites.

1.) I am a courtesy clerk (bag boy) at Fry’s Marketplace
2.) I lived in mesa but I am now in a dorm at ASU
3.) Crads fan my whole life except in elementary school around 5th grade when someone made fun of my team way too much then I said I liked the Giants
4.) tie between DRC, Doucet, and Dockett
5.) Every year my dad an I go to a different pro football stadium this year is San Diego (Used to be New Orleans but it was tooo expensive)

1) I am a mortgage consultant for Amerihome Mortgage, Inc. is Scottsdale, AZ. On that note I have 4.625% at no cost on 30 yr fixed rates loans and 4.25% at no cost today. CRAZY LOW!!

2) I just moved from glendale to surprise, az.

3) Never really paid much attention to football until I meet boogatt, who having lived football for the majority of his formative years and beyond, turned me on to it. Let me tell you thanksgiving is so much more fun now than it used to be.

4)Would say A-Dub for sure. He has shown he is truly dedicated to us as fans and has earned the same in return. Plus when you are standing in a crowded stadium full of screaming fans and you can hear a guys hit from the other side of the field like it happened right in front of you, well, whats not to love.

5) I will take a short interlude from my normal rotb persona and be serious, if only for a brief moment. You see, its my belief that this site needs some balance, and I have taken it upon myself to balance the pendulum. Yes, a lot of you probably dislike me, and thats ok, because frankly I will never ever know you in real life. For those of you who aren’t wearing panties and realize im just having fun and busting balls (because well when me and my buddies are hanging out thats what we do. at least when we aren’t discussing the greater questions of the universe) I hope you enjoy our banter and I might even bring some poignant objectivity to the table. I like to have fun and thats all anything that I say on here is about.

In real life I am a dedicated husband and father riding the asian train to funky town. Now back to our regularly sceduled program.

p.s. if anyone is in to wife swapping we might be down, message pics to bondageboy@gmail.com

1) Just graduated from THE U with a degree in music therapy and music education, if anyone is hiring, let me know!
2) Miami, FL, but I’m Alaska Grown
3) Went to Phoenix during the Suns vs. Bulls championship series and have been a Arizona sports fan ever since.
4) Of all time it’s a tie between Kurt Warner and Aeneas Williams, and of current players, it was Boldin, but I’d have to go two way tie between Fitz and Calais Campbell.
5) I’m an Arizona Cardinals fan!!! Oh wait…that’s usually an interesting fact. Besides being from Alaska, the first car I learned to drive in was an ’82 Corvette.

I work at a beach resort

Myrtle Beach SC, grew up in Glendale

I think 2 years before the Cards moved to Phx, I was watching a game on tv, The St Louis Cardinals had to win to keep the Cowboys out of the playoff as I recall. I don’t remember how the game ended but I liked these guys, Lomax, Green, Smith, Mitchell I think these guys have a chance to be good. I suffered through the Colts and Chargers, using The Valley and attended many, Wranglers/Outlaws games at Sun Devil Stadium. I officially became a Cardinals fan in 1988 the day they announced it was official, I remember riding my bike to Smitty’s to buy a t shirt, the first day they were available. it was a sad day when that shirt finally got retired.

Who is your favorite Cardinals player? Campbell, Hightower, Wilson (all time, Warner & Tillman, I loved Pat back to the ASU days) probably put Jake the Snake on the list)

I am a Cubs fan and a Cardinals fan so never felt the ecstasy of winning it all I am also a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. I am no longer married, and don’t have children so Feb 2, 2009 was perhaps the biggest day of my life.

What do you do(job)? I’m an Asst. Manager working for the Mouse.
Where do you live? Orlando
How and when did you become a Cardinals fan? Big Aeneas fan and tailored my play after his in high school.
Who is your favorite Cardinals player? Anyone on the field. It’s hard to choose. I am so diehard, I can find a reason to root for anyone on the team. But for as much as I rag on him, Q will prob be my all time favorite.
Something interesting about yourself: I ride around with my Cardinal flags on my car year round and catch so much flack. There are no other Cards fans in this area that I can find. I’m completely out numbered and I could care less.

Go Cards!!!

Law student at Willamette University

Salem, OR

Moved to Tempe from NorCal in 1998. I didn’t have a team and I latched on to the Cards

DD

Something interesting, hmm, I had a surgery in 2001 that very few other people have had and the operation was featured on the Discovery Channel.

Work in IT for an Irish food company.

From the southeast of the Emerald Isle and currently living in the County of Kilkenny.

I lived in Phoenix from 92 to 01 mostly in Tempe, always loved football so bought season tickets to sit on the wonderful benches of Sun Devil Stadium. Man it was fun being a Cards fan back then getting out-numbered by the opposing teams fans when Packers, Bears or Cowgirls came to town. But it makes it all the sweeter to see how things have changed since the move to Glendale both on the field and in the stands.

Current player Nine-O you gotta love his hustle. Former player Larry Centers – I used to be hoarse from shoutin “Go Larry Go” as he converted yet another 3rd Down!

My other sporting passion is soccer or more importantly Liverpool FC – like the Cards they wear red and have great fans. My love of soccer helped me out of a sticky situation a few years ago when I was mugged at knife-point while on vacation in Brazil. As I fumbled looking for my wallet I noticed the guy had a soccer team logo tattoo, I had been to see that team play the day before so I just started naming out a few of their players and saying how good I thought the team was, just trying to buy some time. Next thing I know he just ran away. I guess he just didn’t want to rob a fellow fan!

Anyway that’s all from me just remember that Guinness is good for you and Go Cards!

I’m a fraud analyst for Chase Bank

I live in Ahwatukee

Cardinals fan since 98 because I chose my dads team and he lived here before they even moved, I remember he had a sticker in his jeep that said “Phoenix Cardinals”

DRC is my favorite he’s a good player on top of a highlight reel? But I respect ADubb, his loyalty is something to be recognized league wide.

I watch every game with a girlfriend by my side who will be present for all 16games but manage to not show a thread of interest for the full 60 mins, not even against Green Bay.:

What do you do(job)? No job, will be attending the Art Institute of PHX for Culinary in the Fall.
Where do you live? Glendale, AZ aka Game Day Battle Grounds. lol
How and when did you become a Cardinals fan? I was raised a Ram fan from my dad coming from L.A., so I came up with the Greatest Show On Turf, but since I lived in AZ I always rooted for the Cards when they played. Once Warner became a Card in ‘05 I became a die hard Red Bird fan.
Who is your favorite Cardinals player? Warner is my favorite player period, but active player would be Dockett, Fitz (he’s more of Warner’s protege’ than Leinart, just sayin lol) and A-Dub. I remain a huge Q fan as well.
Something interesting about yourself: I have a strange obsession with Louisiana, I don’t why. And I like to party, a lot. lol

What do you do(job)? I work at an exxon and I have been working on various game designs to escape the retail world.

Where do you live? Dallas, TX wink wink

How and when did you become a Cardinals fan? Well, funny enough, I am from Dallas and I was a cowboys fan back in the nineties when I was a kid. As I grew older, I found out what kind of person Jerry Jones is, so I stopped rooting for them. When I was 19 I moved to Phoenix and about 3 years later after Denny Green took over I started watching. It was when Matt Leinart got drafted that I really started to root.

Who is your favorite Cardinals player? Toss up between Fitzgerald, Wells and Dockett.

Something interesting about yourself: Um, I am in the process of trying to make myself rich?
