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.
