Why I am a fan:

Every year since the Cardinals came to Arizona I have said to stick with them this is finally "our" team and we have a chance to get somethign special done in Arizona. We had the DBacks do it. We had the Suns come close. We had Arena Football do it. It is the Cards turn. I believe in never giving up on your teams and the Cardinals made it very hard for many years to be a fan. Getting to the Superbowl has made the wait worth it. Two years now my home team from growing up Giants wins one and now my home team where I am living as an adult will win one. GO CARDS!!!!!!!! Kurt Warner Rules

Why I am a fan:

My dad tried to make me wear Brooklyn Dodgers onesies and I just puked on them as a baby....that told him how I feld about the Dodgers. Then as I got older my argument was how can you hate the Yankees because the Dodgers left. The Yankees did not leave...the Dodgers tucked tail and took off for California. Blame them not the Yankees.

Why I am a fan:

Loved Hockey since I was a kid growing up with the NY Islanders. When the Jets let go in Canada and let Arizona get a team where I now live, I was stoked. Best players in sports. Best attitudes in sports. Toughest athletes only next to MMA in all of sports.

Favorite Moments:

White Out against the Ducks. Not much since.

Larry Nance! Current players are bugging me. No more loyalty to teams. Tired of hearing it is just a business. Disgusted with NBA in general right now.
