Cardinals Edge Eagles

Kurt Warner is headed for his third Super Bowl. I remember well, watching the second one he played in for the Rams. Now, down and out for decades, the Arizona Cardinals have turned a bad joke into a Super bowl bound team. Founding members of the NFL, the Cardinals have historically been among the most dysfunctional of franchises. However, now they are heading for the championship game in Tampa. A happy Warner said he wanted to say Arizona Cardinals in the same sentence with Super Bowl and he did it.

Now Arizona will face the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers in two weeks in Tampa for the NFL title. The longest member of the Cardinals, safety Adrian Wilson, said that to make it to the Super Bowl and to have a chance, an opportunity to win it, he will relish as one of those moments in his career.
