Cardinal Football in Prime Time

In case you didn't know.... We LOVE football in our house. Wait, I think that is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I grew up watching football with my Dad..... he had his favorite teams, but outside of that he always cheered for the underdog and for Army of course. I remember my mom would always tell people that from September through February, we belonged to the Church of the NFL. I think our family has followed suit. We watch any game we can find and even find ourselves watching classic games on NFL Network on non-game days.

This football season has been especially fun because we were able to split Cardinal's season tickets with a lady I work with. Sal has gone to all the games and the boys and I rotate. Sunday night was my game to go with Sal. Of course they were playing Favre and the Vikings. I KNEW it would be a BLOW out just like the Colts game was, which I also attended. I would think I was the jinx but the Cards also lost when Hayden and Cole went to the game. It is always fun when it it is Sunday Night Football. NBC's booth is near our seats so we sit and watch Bob Costas do his thing..... Cris Collinsworth is usually with him, but must have gone up to the broadcast booth before we got there.

We made it in time to watch warm-ups.....


And to watch them come out of the tunnel..... Of course our favorite Duece #76, revving up the team.......




The stadium was so loud and it is SO cool to see red and white cover the stands. There was quite a bit of purple but they got quite after the first quarter.... and I mean QUIET!! ;o) Sal said it was nice to be on the winning end of things for once.


Favre is amazing but I was happy to watch him on an "off-night". This is the great view from our seats.

Next victim will be the 49ers, who Cole loves to call the Farty-Niners. Monday night to clinch the division. Wish I could be there in person to watch the game.... maybe next year.
