I have a theory..Us diehard Cards fans have been hypnotized! It has to be some sort of mass hypnosis to go through this crap year after year after year..and yet we still go to the games, buy the gear, and post on message boards all day long...how is this possible? Are we crazy! People ask me all day long why I am such a Cardinals fan? I really have no answer for them...I really don't...I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent..I step out of the bubble and try to get some perspective on this whole situation...This team has been dreadful for as long as I can remember..the best Cards team we've had in AZ. was the first one in "88" until Lomax went down. The 98 team was average and got into the playoffs due to a weak schedule and a down year in the NFC..let's face it 9-7 doesn't usually get you into the playoffs...We have had turnstile of different coaches all of which have had little if not any success. We have seen players leave here only to thrive with other teams. We have an owner which shows no love to us poor pathetic fans..and have made every inconcievable bad PR move in the books..we are the laughing stock of the NFL..we are decimated by injuries and do not sign anyone to replace them...we have 14 million $$ under the cap and refuse to do anything with that $$ to upgrade this team...and we get zero effort by the team itself at it's home opener...How can we support this team the way we do? After all that? It must be in the water or something...this team has given me very little joy and a boatload of grief...but yet I still love'em..yep I'm hypnotized...
