Here's a deeply held theological conviction: ROOT FOR THE CARDINALS NEXT SUNDAY! Root loudly! There are several reasons why you should root for the Cardinals:
* My family and I moved here from Phoenix. Any win by the Cardinals, I mean any win by the Cardinals was big news during the years I lived there. And now they're playing in the stinking super bowl!
* How can you not root for a team that has been terrible for so long and now has their chance to make history? Come on, this is America, home of the underdog! Do you want to be a bad American?
* Larry Fitzgerald. Need I say more?
* I met Kurt Warner last year while I was at a conference. I think he was deeply moved to meet me.
* Let's break down the name "Pittsburgh" and consider the Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Akkadian roots of the word. The name "Pittsburgh" is derived from two words: "burg," which, as we all know, means city or municipality, and "pitts," which means, well, "the pits."
* Let's break down the word "Arizona." I have no idea what it means, but it sounds really nice. Just say the word out loud, very slowly, AR I ZO NA. Don't you feel better now?
* And remember, the Arizona Cardinals play in a suburb of Phoenix, which, as we all know, is the mythical bird the rises from its own ashes. I can sense, even as I write, how moved you are by this.
* I have it on good authority that all good Christians will be pulling for the Cardinals. Remember, I am a "reverend." Would I misguide you?

I must admit, your creativity surprised me!! But, it never matters how much creativity one has, it all comes down to one point....Pittsburgh is the true Heinz 57 location. A melting pot of many heritages. A place where the word "work" was defined by more than, "the amount of energy it takes to move 1 gram, 1 cm." Work is a part of our lives and we have demonstrated it all season long. We know where the buck comes from and how to make the most of nothing. It will be a good game, but when the final buzzer sounds, it will be, "One For The Other Hand", "The Ultimate Super Six-Pack." Shall I say anymore, but GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At long last, a religious blog I completely understand. No further examination or study required. No contemplation, no discourse, no concordance, no looking up verses. Hallelujah and AMEN!
Well said Dr. Wimmer.
Go Kurt Warner and Go CARDS!
As a Lions fan, I too will be rooting for the Cardinals. Seeing them in the Super Bowl spells H O P E!! If Arizona can win...maybe someday the Lions will too. Furthermore it is appropriate to see Kurt Warner in another superbowl, since he is a Phoenix himself, having risen from the ashes twice.
Sorry, Steve. Your pastoral infallibility has reached it's end! The house of Cards is an illusion. The birds have no way to get around, over, or through the Steel Curtain. Feathers are going to fly!!
I thought for one year I could avoid all talk of this silly football game by being overseas. While I easily avoided any talk about it whatsoever, they still broadcast it on television for some nonsense reason. But...I'm glad the Stealers won :)
