Cards off to similar start (losing), but I keep the faith

Arizona Cardinals

When I was a boy, waaaay back in the 70’s, my brother had a set of NFL helmet stickers and told me to pick my “favorite” team. His favorite was the Oakland Raiders who were, at the time, the powerhouse of the league. I picked the white helmet with the pretty Cardinal on it, and the rest has been history – the Cardinals are perennial losers who can’t seem to shake the hex. But I perserve and continue to be their fan, no matter what.

I tuned in to last night’s exhibition game with the Saints hoping to see some sign of a breakthrough. I didn’t see it, nor was I surprised. The Saints beat the birds 24-10, and could have done more damage if starting QB Brees had satyed in the game.

Even so, I still have faith.
