Around SBN: Now They've Screwed Spurs, UEFA Willing To Review Rule

This makes me feel better about our D

An excerpt from the sando blogs. Eases my mind about our D. hawn from Phoenix writes: Sando, you called the Cards' defense vulnerable.

Feel better now?

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
