What's this you say about Kyle being bandwagon?

Remember the 50% I talked about? Kyle was born and bred a Cards fan! Our season tickets are only rows from each other. He bleeds Cardinal Red! You should see him when he gets drunk and yells at all the Cardinal fans wearing panchos and sombreros. Classic. I'm sure he will start throwing stuffed pigs at them this year and telling them to take their swine flu back with them to Mexico.

Don't believe anything Buckyle says and only believe 50% of what I say. Buckyle is a bandwagoner at best, but he talks a good game. I think there are only 2 Cardinals fans on this website, me and Starbucks. I have lived in AZ since 1982 and been a Cards fan since they moved to AZ. I have no ties to the Detroit Lions. I feel sorry for them because my Cardinals have sucked for so long that I understand their pain. Go Cards!

Buckyle is the Paul Pierce of BP, he's the TRUTH!!! How dare you defame THEE TRUTH!!!

Anyway... you don't know pain until you've lived in the shoes of a Clowns fan. Thank G-d I've been a Cardinals fan (along with Buckyle) since 1972.

The Toughness Of Beanie
Rookie running back doesn't see the need for questions
By DARREN URBAN

First-round pick Chris "Beanie" Wells holds up his jersey with owner Bill Bidwill (left) and general manager Rod Graves (right) during Thursday's press conference.

Ken Whisenhunt was giving a rundown of all of his team?s draft picks, with video help, to fans at the Cardinals? recent charity coaches breakfast, and first up was highlights of No. 1 draft pick Beanie Wells.

The Cardinals? head coach came to a play between Ohio State ? Wells? school ? and Michigan State. Wells took the handoff and cut up inside, where Spartans linebacker Adam Decker was waiting for him. The two collided. Wells knocked Decker backward and kept moving forward for a few more yards.

?For some reason, people have questioned Beanie?s toughness,? Whisenhunt said, rewinding the video and showing the play once more. ?I think this shows Beanie is pretty tough.?

Wells ? who was introduced at a press conference Thursday, the day before the Cardinals begin their lone mandatory minicamp ? became something of a paradox as the draft approached. There is little question of his production, which included 1,609 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2007 and another 1,197 yards and eight touchdowns in 2008 despite missing three games with a turf toe injury.

Those three games were the only three games Wells missed in three collegiate seasons. But there is also little question some doubt floated around Wells in the months leading to the draft. He was considered by far the top draft-eligible running back in the country when the 2008 season began. He ended up falling to the Cardinals at No. 31 when Georgia?s Knowshon Moreno and Connecticut?s Donald Brown were taken ahead of him.

Wells heard the whispers. He answered the queries from NFL teams. He never thought twice whether he was tough enough.

?It is something you have to deal with,? Wells said. ?The NFL is a big business and guys are going to have to deal with everything you possibly can.

?(I missed) three games in three years, so I don?t understand the durability question. I have been injured, so that?s a gimme. But with durability and toughness, I don?t think that?s a question at all.?

No. 1 pick Wells shrugs off durability issue, says he's ready to fit in with Cardinals
By BOB BAUM , Associated Press
April 30, 2009

TEMPE, Ariz. - Running back Chris "Beanie" Wells shrugged off concerns about durability that apparently caused him to fall to the No. 31 pick in the NFL draft.

"I missed three games in three years," he said, "so I don't understand the durability question. ... I played the whole 2007 season with a broken wrist."

Wells came to Arizona Cardinals headquarters Thursday to show off his new No. 26 jersey and pronounced himself more than ready to join one of the most prolific passing offenses in the NFL.

"I've never been a part of a football team where I've had such a great quarterback and so many great wide receivers," he said. "I've always been a part of a team where the box was getting stacked with eight, nine men. It's exciting to be part of an organization where I'm not going to be the focal part of the offense."

Come on now Reagdog, BuckLyle and I are true fans, and some of us "true" Cardinal fans weren't born and raised on them in Arizona, some of us remember them in St Louis with Dierdorf and Dobler (Boren could take some nasty lessons from that SOB) also Jim Hart, Mel Gray and Terry Metcalf.

Just kidding about true fanhood, though I've always had a soft spot for the Cards and pulled for them, but like a dolt, I am a non fair-weather Bungles fan, hopefully the [censored][censored][censored][censored] Mike Brown will move the Bums to another city, LA deserves thier [censored][censored]s and I can begin rooting for a team with a chance at success.

Hey, I'm cool if you and BuckLyle (:slappy:) want to jump on the Cards bandwagon. The more the merrier. I think all you tOSU fans should buy a Beanie jersey and a Steve Breaston jersey.
