Superbowl Pick! Go Arizona Cardinals!!!

Okay, so I finally figured out who to root for on Sunday. The Arizona Cardinals win hands down!

How did I come to this conclusion? No, Kathy. It wasn't your response, but thank you anyways.
No, I decided to find out who Dave Krieg would be cheering on, seeing that he is my all time favorite football player - EVER!!! (Along with Steve Largent.) I did a Google search on him to see any input he might have. While he didn't divulge his team of choice, I did manage to reason out by logic who he might cheer for, Arizona. Krieg played for Seattle (growing up in Oregon and liking the uniforms this became my team of choice) http://www.davekrieg.com/. He then went to Kansas City shortly after I moved there. (Did I ever happen to mention that a limerick of mine was published that I had written for him when I lived there? I don't know if he ever read it, but I will post it here for good measure):

A Seahawk fan I used to be,
Since Dave Krieg used to pass to Steve.
You're pulling my leg!
The Chiefs picked up Krieg?!
Sorry Seattle, I'm cheering the Chiefs!

Back to the post...
Well, sadly, Joe Montana overshadowed Krieg's career with the Chiefs, though he actually could do no better than Krieg did, seeing they had a weak offensive line and NOT a weak QB. It was after this that I stopped following football. Enter the times that Krieg played for Detroit, Arizona, and get this...Tennessee Oilers! I lived in Tennessee and didn't realize he was on the team... so three teams out of 6 were local teams for me (unbeknownst to me). So, now you have it...the reason for my rooting on the Cardinals this year. (The Titans didn't make the Superbowl or I certainly would have went with them.)

(Add to this that Kurt Warner is a bold professing Christian who QBs for the Cardinals and that I like a team that plays a strong offense rather than a defensive team...all great reasons to go with Arizona. And of course, two of my sisters live in Arizona - now I'm really in!)

And one last comment to add here:

Dave Krieg should be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame. He was a truly amazing quarterback who happened to play on rather mediocre teams with a couple of key players (insert Steve Largent here). But the true reason I am his fan? When I watched him play each week with my dad and brother, I liked his integrity. When he made a mistake he would point to himself and make sure his receiver didn't take the heat and condemn himself. And when he did it right and the other guy messed up, it was clear. But he would be discouraged, but only for half a second; he immediately changed gears and encouraged the team toward the next play. He didn't let things spiral downward but stayed optimistic.
Just look at the game (Nov. 11, 1990) against the Chiefs where he got sacked all day long by Derrick Thomas (still the record number of sacks in a given game = 7), yet Krieg still, in spite of all that pressure, managed to escape another sack to pass the winning touchdown in the last seconds of the game! That kind of determination is worthy of recognition in my book!
I have several of his cards, his rookie card included, and some day I would like to get Krieg to autograph them. Presently, he is not autographing except for fundraisers.
