OK the teams are set. In two weeks the Steelers will meet the Cardinals for the Championship (and trip to Disney).
Growing up as a Packer fan (still am), my younger brother was also a big Steeler fan. So our family, often cheered extra hard for the Steelers in the AFC. That was back in the amazing days of the "steel curtain". Guys like Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swan, Franco Harris, "Mean" Joe Greene. Yeah that was classic football stuff.
The Cardinals have moved three times in the NFL history and never really been a big hit. Chicago... years and years ago. The St. Louis (Where they still should be and have the biggest fan base), then now Arizona. The last two years the cards have put together an impressive team. Their team attitude is very solid and they have number one class act QB - Kurt Warner. (almost as old as Brett Farve).
Where I may have the family history with the Steelers, I am going with ARIZONA CARDINALS.
The difference to me is that the Cards defense has really stepped as the playoff have gone on. They have not leveled off or repeated what they did all season. They are actually getting better every week. Rare in any time.
I predict a pretty high scoring game. Both QB's have weapons, and read defenses very well.
So I hope to see you at a superbowl party (somewhere) Feb. 1st. Enjoy the food, the fun and celebrate the new champs of the NFL... the ARIZONA CARDINALS.

Alright Rich. I am cheering for Warner and the Cardinals, but my gut tells me the Steelers will win. Having said that, any money you put on the Cardinals is a sure thing!
What a great game (in the second half). One pass may have kept the Cardinals from capturing the title. One pass..... ahhhhhhh!
Well now we wait until July and training camp.
Up next College Basketball.... go Hoosier.
March Madness can't be far away.
