Championship Sunday Part III

Super Bowl XLIII is set.

Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals. OK, the Steelers I can picture, but ARIZONA?? I am still so out for the peach cobbler on that one. This Cardinals were not even talked about in pre-season. Heck, not even during the regular season--unless it was the bench of Matt Leniart and his replacement of vet Kurt Warner. Nonetheless, many congrats to the winners!!

Reality now. Both teams the Dallas Cowboys played. Had Pittsburgh beat until.... As for Arizona--shoulda won that game. Wow, cool it isn't to say both Super Bowl teams beat you. I wonder if Tony Romo thinks the Super Bowl is just a sporting event. Ya know, like he said after the loss to Philadelphia, which put the Cowboys on the couch, until July-when training camp commences.

Hey, I'd admit to have a hankering for the Dallas Cowboys to sport a new Vince Lombardi trophy in the case after such an event.

I need whip cream for the peach cobbler.

Championship Sunday Part II

History tells us:

January 18, 1976 Donny and Marie debuted as the first brother and sister (teenagers at that!) duo to host their own variety show. Yep, I admit I stayed home on a Friday night long enough to watch.

January 1977 the mini-series other mini-series would be compared to, "Roots" began. My friends and I were glued to my TV. No vcr's then, so you HAD to be home.

January 18 1980 Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off of a live bat, while performing in Des Moines, Iowa. Gee, a concert I missed.

When each event happened, I still lived in Iowa. Just like Kurt Warner at the time. Big difference tho. While I was out partying and doing whatever else in the those years, fellow Iowan Kurt (born in 1971)grasped the rigors of grade school and, I'm sure, a love for the game of football.

January 18, 2009 QB Kurt Warner of the Arizona Cardinals, guides his team over the Philadelphia Eagles for a trip to the Super Bowl on February 1.

Arizona. ARIZONA?!?! Not won a NFL Championship Game in 61 years.

Must be something about those Iowans.

Championship Sunday

The Arizona Cardinals are ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles 21-6 in the 2nd quarter.

REALLY?

The winner goes to the Super Bowl.

And this why they play the game.

Instead of popcorn, I got me some peach cobbler. Will check back later after I remember how the Dallas Cowboys lost to BOTH teams...gee.

NFL Playoffs

OK--let me see if I got this right. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals (with University of Northern Iowa alum Kurt Warner) will play for the right to the Super Bowl next week. WHAT?!??! We really saw that coming when training came got started, huh?

Last year's Champs, the NY Giants lost to the Eagles today. Arizona beat the Panthers--but come on....ARIZONA?!??! Weren't they 8-8? Didn't both Philadelphia and Arizona beat my Dallas Cowboys? And where are Tony (needs to get his head back on straight), Terrell (don't cut him. He's not the problem), Jason Witten (just give him MVP or some kind of medal) and Marion Barber (I still love him) doing after they finished 9-7? Right in front to their TVs like me.

Yep. And this is why they play the game.

Donovan or Kurt? Both still got a lot of show left in em.

Get your popcorn ready.
