Arizona Cardinals

I would like to tip my hat to Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt. Not for the job he has done this year, but for the willingness to step into a position with a team that has a long reputation for mediocrity, and leading them to greatness. I believe that he was the right man for the job. I remember something that Team USA Hockey Coach Herb Brooks said when he was told by the Olympic Commitee they had paid a large some of money to have the best prospects there to be chosen. Brooks replied firmly "I'm not looking for the best players, I'm looking for the right ones." I think the Cardinals are another example of that creed.

With a difficult game against New England next week Arizona should have an easier going week 17 against the Seahawks.

Arizona has become a team to cheer for, a sleeper squad who may become a threat to win it all. With Matt Leinhart underperforming the 37-year-old veteran Kurt Warner has become a quintessential piece to stabilize the Cardinals and bring them onto their playoff run. With his talented receiving core of Boldin, Breaston, and Fitzgerald there’s no reason why Warner shouldn’t be able to put away the 2-10 Rams and gain the NFC West title Sunday.

With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.
