Great game/ instant classic. Even after a miraculous final drive (final play especially) in regulation by the Packers to tie the game, the Cardinals hold it together and win a thriller.

This one was pretty good! It was probably for the Louisville Cardinals, but to find a Cardinal mascot on a horse....well done.

Took your white hood off long enough to praise Fitzgerald, eh?

Not happy with the outcome, but hats off to Fitz. Hell of a fucking player when he has an NFL caliber QB.

You didn't believe so you shouldn't be too upset. I always wonder how great he could have been if he played with a great QB. Just like I wonder how much better Brady could have been if you gave him a Moss for most of his career.

The guy is a great player. As others have said, if he had played with a great QB, his stats would be far greater. Just because he's black doesn't mean I can't appreciate his athletic ability. I'm not going to invite him into my home, but I can appreciate his talent. Michael Jackson was a hell of a singer/ performer. Wouldn't have let him in my home, but I would have gone to see him perform. Fergie Jenkins and Billy Williams are my 2 favorite Cubs of all time. Fergie is the only one I would invite into my home. I got to know him at his Baseball camp in Northbrook years ago. I brought my son to his camp and after dropping him off and watching for a while, I would go play golf at Winnetka or Glencoe. After chatting with Fergie a couple times, he asked me if I was going back to work after I drop my son off, as I was in shorts and polo shirts, I think he expected I was not. I told him I was going golfing and he and I talked golf for a while. He loves to golf, played Basketball too, including with the Globe Trotters. He's Canadian, didn't know that before that week. Anyway, he wound up golfing with my son and I after the last day of camp. We played twilight at Winnetka golf club. He beat me by 5-6 strokes. One of the most pleasant guys I have ever met. Intelligent, articulate, thoughtful and could not have been nicer to my son. I have to say, when listening to Fitzgerald talk, he comes off as a pretty sharp guy. Not overly boastful, articulate and intelligent. I wish more were like that.

No, when Steve says "them" he is talking about a group.of people. See, the thing with Steve is that he is a giant scrotum.

Kirkwood is definitely more reprehensible than this guy.

Frank, I understand that. I was being facetious.
You know, I always thought that Steve might have been a little misunderstood.
Now, I know I am wrong.
He is a total asshole, plain and simple.

I like Fitz as a player, but I'm not impressed by his giving away 15 "scholarships" to the University of Phoenix.

I am not going to try to back off what I meant. I meant black athletes. Too many, (like Derrick Rose) can't articulate a single thought effectively, mumble and use slang rather than speaking in an intelligent, articulate and effective manner. It's nice when a guy like Fitzgerald or Curtis Granderson comes along and communicates effectively and has something of substance to contribute when he speaks.

Just imagine the heartbreak that brings... :roll:

The purpose of the thread was to pay tribute to a team and especially a player who performed exceptionally well in a great game. The moment when Fitzgerald took time to shake the hand of a retired vet in a wheelchair was pretty cool too. Even took off his right glove before shaking his hand. Pretty cool gesture.
