House divided

My wife and daughter and I are rooting for the Cardinals because our family lived briefly in Arizona, but my son says he'll be cheering for the Steelers, because most of his friends are doing that.

Think how conflicted I was. Kurt Warner was the most popular athlete to play in St. Louis since Stan Musial but the Cardinals were my team growing up until Bill Bidwill, after 28 years of phoning it in, moved them to the desert.

I wasn't angry that they moved, I had lost interest in them by then, I was just angry that after all those years of going through the motions here, the Bidwills finally decided to try a decade or two too late for those of us who lived and died with 'em back in the day.

So while I wanted Kurt to get another ring, I wanted him to do it without letting the fat man hoist the Lombardi trophy.

Not to mention the curse of the Pottsville Maroons.

It puts a whole new perspective on the Bidwill family hoisting a Super Bowl trophy... especially over a Pennsylvania team!
