I watched most of the second half of the Monday Night NFL game the other night and I have to admit the Arizona Cardinals are a cursed franchise. The club has moved from Chicago to St. Louis to Phoenix and for the last sixty years have just plain old sucked.They modeled that again on Monday, blowing a 23-3 lead on Chicago, having possession of the ball with only 5 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. A fumble for a touchdown, another fumble for a touchdown, and a punt return for a touchdown put them down 24-23 with time running out in the 4th quarter. The Cardinals drove down field and gave themselves a 40-yard field goal to win it, and they missed. Worse yet - I knew they'd miss. Doesn't that tell the story in and of itself.
Playing the Cardinals is the only way a team like the Bears could win a game by not scoring a touchdown on offense. In fact, Grossman, the Bears quarterback, threw four interceptions and lost two fumbles before the game was over. Wow. Simply "wow".
And so the Cardinals did what they do best, lose, and snap defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yeah, it was amzing to see the Cardinals losing it like that... It was quite amusing actually...
I love how James rushed 33 times for under 60 yards. That's just pathetic. At least in the CFL with the 3 downs, you're not even allowed to rush 33 times. Save some of the humility.
Chad, this is a test comment, as I'm having trouble posting anything, both on my own blog and comments on other people's blogs
